I was pretty sure there was documentation in the WiX.chm that details how to do this. You have to be very careful to unreference the old dialog that you are replacing. Otherwise, you'lll end up with two dialogs that end up duplicating a bunch of symbols.
Unfortunately, the error messages are not terribly helpful when doing this. I remember that last time I had to customize the dialog sequence, I had to be very meticulous. The lack of good error messages makes it not the easiest task.
