Ahh... that sounds more a setup design problem ;) I'm pretty sure I saw a thread recently about strange behaviour when displaying additional InstallUISequence dialogs for configuration after InstallExecuteSequence has completed. Sounds similar...
In my opinion you should gather configuration information prior to installation, or perform configuration post-install with a separate application (i.e. that launches when the user exits MSI) and can that can also request UAC elevation if required for system-wide configuration. On a side note, with this sequence how does your setup handle silent or reduced UI installs? What happens if the user presses "cancel" after installing the files, but before configuration? Configuration is a separate step from installation, trying to do both inside MSI is likely to cause you more headaches down the road.
