Here's something to think about. The feature selection dialog executes after 
CostFinalize and yet we can configure Directory paths based on user input that 
occurs after CostFinalize. I have to wonder what you are trying to do (other 
than run your UI dialogs too early) that might cause problems. I have to assume 
that you tried it the normal way first and it didn't work as you expected 
because what you expected did not match the way Windows Installer works.
