The Exit dialog happens at the very end after the InstallExecuteSequence. Is it not part of the InstallUISequence? Or is some of the UI sequence delayed till the end?

If you change something & don't have a time machine handy would you expect to see it change before you changed it?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Scope of a property I've never needed to feed anything back to the UI sequence from the Execute sequence so I'm not sure of the limitations, if any. However If you enable logging you'll be able to see when and where properties are changed/modified, just search for "PROPERTY CHANGE:" in the log.
