If the other two are already in the right order, and they aren't numerically right next to each other, then you can pick either one and use the appropriate attribute. After="InstallFiles" will pick the next number after the number assigned to InstallFiles, and Before="WriteRegistryValues" will

I don't think there's a built-in way, but you could have a property called CurrentDialog and set it in an action event just before you call the CA, and the CA can get the value. Sorry, but I guess that's another property, and maybe a scheme like this is what you're trying to eliminate. Phil Wilso

Do those files exist at compilation time? They are "C:\Program Files (x86)" paths, and your code doesn't specify a full path in File/@Source. I'm not sure how it came up with that path, but it's probably wrong, since you are likely building your application binaries in a build area. You will need
