I am glad you got the EmbeddedUI working. Thanks for coming back to me
with advice on the issues I am experiencing with references to other
DLLs. I did see the post build step in the WPF sample, and the embedded

Seems kinda overkill to pass the value of REMOVE
Custom action executables that return a non-zero exit code are treated as
failing custom actions. If that exit code isn't an error, you'd have to set the
custom action type to ignore errors.
