Are you compiling with UNICODE defined? If so I believe you have a buffer
overrun here:
ofn.nMaxFile = sizeof(szOriginalPath);
You should use countof() instead of sizeof().
Otherwise, I'm not really sure what the issue is. Showing the part of the log
file that has the error might be helpful.

Subject: [WiX-users] CustomAction following specific CustomAction fails
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.

thread 5388
Action ended 10:15:36: BrowseFileDialog. 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:

Thanks you all!
Best regards,
