Sorry, I didn't fully explain the purpose of my CA, which is two-fold: I need to terminate the installation if the ODBC driver doesn't meet the minimum requirement, but if it does I need to reference the properties set by the CA in the ODBCDataSource setup, etc.
My issue is not terminating the installation, it's the other part: setting the properties with the CA. The log seems to suggest they have been set, but other parts of the installation can't see them.
