Matt, You could always add the custom action id to the CustomActionData; that may be as simple as using a set property (type 51) custom action. If you are setting up the CustomActionData for a deferred custom action via an immediate custom action, then you should already know the target custom action (otherwise it would be impossible to pass the deferred custom action any data at all); in that case, just tack the id onto the data.
Forgive me if you already know this, but the CustomActionData property for a custom action is set via a property with the same id as the custom action. So, while it may seem redundant to have property ca1 which contains ca1, that's the way of Windows Installer. Thanks, Thomas S.
