I have a project using several customactions schduled during the UI as immediate. It actually works for almost everything but I have one issue left.
In the UI the user can select to install a license file. I have a C++ customaction which opens the OpenFile dialog and sets it to a property. Later in the UI is invoked some managed CustomActions for IIS or MSMQ stuff depending on the user's selections. If the C++ customaction is run the next customaction (no matter which one) fails with the error code 2896 (Executing action xxx failed). If the C++ custom action is not run, it works as it is supposed to. I have to made this custom action as C++ as it didn't worked with a managed custom action - and that probably makes sense that DTF can't open a dialog for the msi handle, I guess. While logging the installation I do not get any notices around the actions and the C++ OpenFile dialog action closes the MSIHANDLES correctly. Below is text from Logfile regarding the OpenFile dialog Action 10:15:34: BrowseFileDialog. Action start 10:15:34: BrowseFileDialog. MSI (c) (CC:0C) [10:15:34:475]: Creating MSIHANDLE (28) of type 790542 for thread 5388 MSI (c) (CC:E8) [10:15:34:475]: Invoking remote custom action.

Return value 1. I guess the problem is around this BrowseFileDialog CustomAction as the result is the some for my next two different customactons and they work without this BrowseFileDialog. I attach the sourcecode of my C++ custom action: http://n2.nabble.com/file/n2292259/CustomAction.cpp CustomAction.cpp Thanks you all!
