I'm not using the WiX UI, so I don't think just upgrading to 3.5 would fix 
things.  However the 
change appears to be the same, which is to just bypass the 'please wait' 
dialog, so I guess I'll 
just go along with that.

It would be nice to know what I can expect to happen if costing has completed 
yet.  If the user 
clicks on and then tries to customise the install, will bad things happen or 
will progress just get 
held up until costing has completed?
