[wix-users] MSMQ issue during DB install

[Edwin Castro]

Not having looked at the code, I am going to guess that the custum action
is executing in immediate mode to determine if the is something todo. That
it is executing at all is not of itself suspicious. But I would expect it
should not generate the error popup you are describing. I'll defer to
somebody with more experience though since I haven't looked at the source
and I am only guessing.
