If you are truly succeeding in launching your app from a deferred CA that
isn't impersonating, it is running in Session 0 on a non-UI desktop (and
without a user profile), so you can't ever see/interact with it. If you

I am creating a MSI using WIX 3.0 for the first time. Is there any way for
me to add text to the screen where the user selects the installation
directory? I want to prompt them to select the folder that needs to exist
for the application to run.
Thanks

This is where you probably want to attach a debugger on your custom action.

Also, before the first call to WcaAddTempRecord, what were the values of

Here is the wxs file content:-
