Does "other parts" mean the ExecuteSequence? If they are being passed from the UI to the ExecuteSequence they'd need to be in the SecureCustomProperties list.

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.
