I modified PrintEula.dll to not use the PathIs* APIs, but it kept failing. In the Wix sources I can see the following:
<Publish Dialog="BrowseDlg" Control="OK" Event="DoAction" Value="WixUIValidatePath" Order="3">1</Publish> <Publish Dialog="BrowseDlg" Control="OK" Event="SpawnDialog" Value="InvalidDirDlg" Order="4"><![CDATA[WIXUI_INSTALLDIR_VALID<>"1"]]></Publish> No matter what's causing it, it has disastrous implications.
