I've got a Custom Action working as a DLL from my console app and it

RemoveFiles table. Given that I have a handle to the MSI file
instance, how would I access/call the RemoveFile function based on the
below? Should I use the WcaInitialize call for logging too? Just some
general pointers, I'm not asking for anyone to write my code for me.
Definitely take advantage of the wcautil.lib functions.
http://www.joyofsetup.com/2007/07/01/semi-custom-actions/ has a snippet
of how to use WcaAddTempRecord to add the temporary rows.
Also, it occurs to me that I might have to push the files into
RemoveFiles in reverse order so that the descendent directory/file
entries get deleted first. Is this correct or do I not need to bother?
Good question. I suspect it doesn't matter. MSI doesn't guarantee an
order anyway. You can let MSI handle the directory deletion by using a
null FileName column; you still have to recurse into the subdirectories
but you don't need one row per file, just one row per directory.
