So either include it in both components (relying on WiX smart cabbing to

You can't prevent cancellation, since closing the dialog will have that
effect. Otherwise, you need to remove the buttons from a custom
FilesInUse dialog; there's no option to remove them

No. If you omit the component guid, MSI forgets about the component
and will never uninstall it.

You need to replace the stock dialog set you're using (WixUI_Mondo in
this case), not just add to it. What's happening is that your Publish
values are mixing in with those in WixUI_Mondo.

It works as you've described. You then have to set up project
