That's good to know, I'll have a peek inside that code as soon as

I know I was damned surprised that MsiProcessMessage could result in
cancel being gobbled up.  It never felt right to me that the MSI
runtime depends on the custom action code to properly bubble out the
cancel, but then again I suppose by doing that it allows for the CA to
prompt the user to confirm the cancel and continue on if that's not
what they really meant.
