This should be in the wix-users list, not on wix-devs. wix-devs is for development of the toolset itself.

Subject: [wix-devs] Custom action at cancel uninstallation
Hello, my question is:
How to define a custom action to execute when the cancel button (at
uninstallation) is pressed in WiX Toolset?
I have found that the cancel button should be defined like this:
<Control Id="Cancel" Type="PushButton" X="304" Y="243" Width="56"
Height="17" Cancel="yes" Text="Cancel">
<Publish Event="SpawnDialog" Value="CancelButton"/>
</Control>
And a publish event is defined to the custom action, which could be defined
like:
<CustomAction Id="CancelButton" Execute="immediate"
ExeCommand='Program.exe" Return="ignore"/>
An error shows up: **Unresolved reference to symbol
'Dialog:CancelButton'**
A Dialog element in WiX cannot have a custom action as child, so where
should be defined that custom action?
