Sometimes I wonder how a customer is supposed to know the right answer to these kinds of questions anyway.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Multiple actions when a launch condition fails A launch condition displays a single message using a modal dialog box and aborts the install. Instead you'd have to write a custom dialog. But you can't literally run the exe and dll right after because you are in the UI sequence and you shouldn't make system changes until the execute sequence. Still you can pass the users choice in a property down stream for later processing.

If no is pressed exit. What is the best way of doing ths?
