I don't know the direct answer to your question, but taking a step back,
have you considered any alternatives instead of adding a custom action?
Custom actions are notoriously difficult to write correctly, and very, very
easy to get wrong. A custom action that invokes an external process (such

I don't see any option to use a predefined wix element. I think you'll need to
write your own code for a custom action. There are lots of good sources
showing you steps for doing that. I'd start with the WIX tutorial, here:

Take a look at that folder and the file at
C:\cygwin\home\build\current\EUROPA\MyProgram.msi .
That looks like a user-created folder, and it seems that the install fails
as soon as it switches to the service to do the install. That file/folder
may not allow access by the SYSTEM account.

Per your request, I removed all the variables, simplified the problem to

The usual thing to do here is generate wix file with everything in
componentgroup , then include a componentgroupref in a feature in your main
wxs file.
You can use Orca or Insted to open an msi file to see if contains what you
want.

Hello everyone,
I'm a new to WIX and I'm a little lost.
I want to create a .msi file from my project (with lots of files and

If this is a major upgrade, you can add another custom action that reads the
value from this file and sets a property in the installer that your dialog can
use for displaying to the user. The new custom action would have a condition
that makes it run only during upgrade.
