Hi all, For posterity's sake, the problem turned out to be that I had changed the 'Publish' action that generates a 'Return' event when you press the 'Finish' button. In the original source of WixUI_InstallDir it is:
<Publish Dialog="ExitDialog" Control="Finish" Event="EndDialog" Value="Return" Order="999">1</Publish> But I removed the condition, so it had become <Publish Dialog="ExitDialog" Control="Finish" Event="EndDialog" Value="Return" Order="999" /> Now according to the WiX documentation the condition of Publish is "optional", but it does not say what it defaults to when it is not present. I assumed it would default to "1", but apparently it doesn't. I still don't really understand what it does default to. It looks like the event is issued only when no other 'Publish' element matches when you don't specify a condition.
