It's because the olders you're installing files to can be in per-user or
per-machine locations depending on the value of the ALLUSERS property. For
example, your start menu, or the AllUser's start menu. Since the package

You can certainly do that. You should include both the C# dll and the

element that defines the custom action. Make sure to use the FileKey

The problem with this method is that you will have a very difficult time
participating in the reference counting and transaction when applying changes
to the machine.
Scheduling after InstallFinalize also likely won't work because your install is
not elevated at that point in time.

Rob makes some good points below. In the long run you are much better
off using the WiX extensions to do that stuff because they support
rollback, uninstall, etc. properly. If you want to use your own custom
action and do things properly, you should make your executable/DLL
support different action
Does somebody knows if exists a custom action to dump the content of a
