I am facing problem when I insert a custom action ( which creates registry entries ) in UI sequence. The ReadytoInstall Dialog terminates with out copying the files.  I am calling this custom action in CustomSetup dialog next button. Does anyone knows why the ReadytoInstall terminates?.

Hi,
If you don't check in the Custom Action Wizard box "Ingnore custom action return code" and your custom action failed for any reason then Windows Installer receives any bad error code and terminates the installation. It maybe a reason.The Windows Installer will not analyze an return code from your custom action if you'll check this box.
Good luck!

Thanks Irina, It works fine with that check

Just a comment.  You should not be creating registry keys in the UI.  Any action that modifies the target system should take place in the execute sequence.
