Does anyone know how to have a custom action run conditionally based on whether the product is being installed or uninstalled (maintenance mode = remove)? Or does anyone know how to access information about whether an install or uninstall is happened in a JavaScript or VBScript Custom action so as to be the condition of an IF...THEN statement?

You can use
$Component Name - Action State of a component
?Component Name - Installed state of a component
&Feature Name- Action State of Feature
!Feature Name- Installed state of Feature
$Component Name - Action State of a component
?Component Name - Installed state of a component
&Feature Name- Action State of Feature
!Feature Name- Installed state of Feature
Conditions using these are valid in the sequence table after CostFinalize.
It is not always sensible to use the REMOVE property because situations arise where one feature is being removed and another being installed.
