I might be wrong, check up on this, but make the properties you want to modify in your UI sequence public, i.e. their names all in capital letters.
Your immediate CA, which I believe is running in the InstallExecuteSequence, should be able to see the changed values modified during the UI sequence. If you haven't yet, get the MSI SDK which is part of the Windows SDK and check out properties in the documentation. The documentation has proven to be an invaluable reference to me.
