It needs to be in InstallExecuteSequence.
Also I looked in the wix help file and I don't see a "Formatted" as a
topic ?
Sorry, I didn't mention -- it's in the Windows SDK (and on MSDN Online),
not WiX.chm.

No code is necessary. CustomAction/@Property,@Value creates a type 51 CA
which does exactly what you need.

Surely I can somehow set the path based on environment variable? Is
there a expand method within wix?
Use a custom action. @Property/@Value formats the value so you can use
