Ahh, that explains it.  You don't return the "accountVerified".

C++ Custom actions return an action result.

Ex:
#define Installed TEXT("Installed")
#define DotNet20Installed_Property TEXT("DOTNET20")
EXPORT UINT __stdcall DotNet20InstalledCA(MSIHANDLE hInstall)
{
        HRESULT hr = S_OK;
        UINT er = ERROR_SUCCESS;

        hr = WcaInitialize(hInstall, "DotNet20InstalledCA");
        ExitOnFailure(hr, "Failed to initialize");

        WcaLog(LOGMSG_STANDARD, "Initialized.");

        if (isDotNet20Installed()) {
                hr = WcaSetProperty(DotNet20Installed_Property,
Installed);
                ExitOnFailure(hr, "Failed to SetProperty");
        }
LExit:
        er = SUCCEEDED(hr) ? ERROR_SUCCESS : ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE;
        return WcaFinalize(er);
}

This CA will assign the value of the DOTNET20 property to Installed.
(Note I link against
msi.lib;dutil_2010.lib;wcautil_2010.lib;Version.lib;%(AdditionalDependen
cies) in order to get the nicely wrapped helper functions like
WcaSetProperty. 

/********************************************************************
WcaSetProperty - sets a string property value in the active install

********************************************************************/
extern "C" HRESULT WIXAPI WcaSetProperty(
    __in_z LPCWSTR wzPropertyName,
    __in_z LPCWSTR wzPropertyValue
    )
{
    if (!wzPropertyName || !*wzPropertyName || !wzPropertyValue)
        return E_INVALIDARG;

    UINT er = ::MsiSetPropertyW(WcaGetInstallHandle(), wzPropertyName,
wzPropertyValue);
    HRESULT hr = HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(er);
    ExitOnFailure1(hr, "failed to set property: %ls", wzPropertyName);

LExit:
    return hr;
}
