--- Comment #12 from Zebediah Figura <z.figura12 at gmail.com> ---
Thank you for your comments, Dmitry. Yes, you are correct in that I should have
arranged my patches better, and I should have been more rigorous in testing
what APIs do and don't work from a custom action. I thought I had found that
MsiSummaryInfoGetProperty() didn't actually work, and thus neglected to do
anything with it, but clearly I did so incorrectly; in any case I will try to
add some more explicit tests for APIs that shouldn't work.

Nevertheless I'd ask you to please try not to take such an accusatory tone; we
are all working on the same project after all :-)

Anyway, with regards to this bug, Hans Leidekker has found that on Windows the
ProcessBranding action in fact takes over 5 seconds to execute. This is
apparently because it triggers native MSI to rebuild the string pool. Obviously
this is not a behaviour we would want to try to match, so I'm sort of inclined
to resolve this WONTFIX, unless anyone has any other opinions.
