The problem is I am using an EXE binary custom action. However, it seems to work if I place another DLL custom action right after my last EXE custom action and before InstallFinalize. This DLL custom action doesn't do anything except return ERROR_SUCCESS. But the installer seems to catch the "cancel" request now...is this OK?
