I don't think the 2826 error is the real problem. It's more of a warning about your dialog layout. I get that error in my logs too. What does Windows Installer quote as the error in the error dialog, or is there something else reported later on in the log?
The issue with your original custom action might be the fact that you've set Impersonate to 'yes'. I think after InstallFinalize, you're back to running as the user, so telling it to Impersonate might be tripping it up. That's just a guess though, as it generally looks OK to me.
