Found and Solved the issue modifying WixUI_Advanced.wxs A comment by MarcusUA in the following URL states the issue: http://neilsleightholm.blogspot.com/2008/08/customised-uis-for-wix.html
The 'CustomAction's in WixUI_Advanced.wxs must be renamed or else they will result in conflicting names in the original WixUI_Advanced.wxs, so it's some sort of scope issue with CustomAction. I stopped having issues after making the following replacements through out the file: WixSetDefaultPerUserFolder to WixSetDefaultPerUserFolder2 WixSetDefaultPerMachineFolder to WixSetDefaultPerMachineFolder2 WixSetPerUserFolder to WixSetPerUserFolder2 WixSetPerMachineFolder to WixSetPerMachineFolder2 Now I can change things around.
