Newbie InstallScript question

I just started working with InstallShield a few days ago. Now I'm trying to get InstallScript custom actions to work. I'm having difficulty getting them to execute properly. I'm creating a Basic MSI project.

I edited the setup.rul and only added a line in the empty myFunction to display a message box. I created a custom action for this function, and set a DoAction event on a dialog control to execute it. This works.

I created a second script called test.rul, wrote the same code except changed the function name to testFunction. Created a custom action for it as well and replaced where setup.rul was called with this. When I try to execute, the installer goes to the Installation Setup Interrupted dialog. When I try debug the debug window never comes up like it does with setup.rul.

I'm having trouble running the scripts in the sequence, I think I'm missing something obvious...help please!

Have you found the InstallShield white papers? http://www.flexerasoftware.com/resources/whitepapers.htm

Maybe "MSI Sequences and Standard Actions" might help?
