Both customactions are executed during UI for the mentioned buttons (browsefile and execute managed action) I publish the DoAction.
The original problem was: 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 created this small project with an almost empty managed action (it just opens a messagebox) and it is clear that if I select a file in the browsedialog action, the installer fails when the managed action should execute (but the messagebox is not displayed). The messagebox shows correctly if i open the browse dialog and not select a file (just canelling the dialog) or if I not press the browsefile button.
