  Based on a <a href="http://wix.sourceforge.net/mailinglists.html#wix-users">wix-users</a> report, I added debug output logging to the WixUIValidatePath custom action (normal MSI logging doesn't work because it's a custom action triggered from a <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368322(VS.85).aspx">DoAction control event</a>). I also added the WIXUI_DONTVALIDATEPATH property to suppress WixUIValidatePath calls.
