Take a look at code similar to this (this may or may not come through):
<Publish Dialog="InstallDirDlg" Control="Next" Event="DoAction"
Value="WixUIValidatePath" Order="2">NOT WIXUI_DONTVALIDATEPATH</Publish>
<Publish Dialog="InstallDirDlg" Control="Next" Event="SpawnDialog"
Value="InvalidDirDlg" Order="3"><![CDATA[NOT WIXUI_DONTVALIDATEPATH AND
WIXUI_INSTALLDIR_VALID<>"1"]]></Publish>
<Publish Dialog="InstallDirDlg" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog"
Value="VerifyReadyDlg" Order="4">WIXUI_DONTVALIDATEPATH OR
WIXUI_INSTALLDIR_VALID="1"</Publish>
1) The DoAction attribute causes the WixUIValidatePath custom action to be
called (the validation can be suppressed by defining the WIXUI_DONTVALIDATEPATH
property;
2) WixUIValidatePath sets a property, WIXUI_INSTALLDIR_VALID;
3) If the path is not valid, InvalidDirDlg is displayed;
4) If the path is valid, the next dialog in sequence, VerifyReadyDlg, is
displayed;

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Return to Dialog Screen on Custom Action Error
In looking at InstallDirDlg I don't see anything that would return control to
the dialog on an error. I am not sure what support code to look at.
Can you tell me what I should look at?
