OK I figured out the issue.
I was writing
<Publish Dialog=" MyDlg " Control="Next" Event="NewDialog"
Value="InstallLocationDlg"/>
instead of
<Publish Dialog=" MyDlg " Control="Next" Event="NewDialog"
Value="InstallLocationDlg">1</Publish>
I did not know that upon multiple <Publish> from same control, I have to
add 1 as return.
I assumed that selfclosing <Publish/> is enough.
