Each MSI custom action pops-up a message box in the _DEBUG version
before commencing execution. This opens a time window for developer to
attach debugger to the msiexec.exe process, set the breakpoints before
custom action proceeds with execution.

While those pop-up dialogs are targeted to a limited audience, they were
very sparse. With this patch, they become more informative and they also
provide PID of the msiexec.exe process to attach debugger to.

"Makes sense" :-) - I have only looked at the code and built a non-debug
build (because I'm lazy) but that looked reasonable, and there is nothing
in the _DEBUG block that looks suspicious.

Your patch has been applied to the master branch.
