Is there a way to do what I want to do.  I would think that this can be done.  Many installers do this, but maybe they use a C++ custom action which does the registry for them.  Any thoughts?

Here is my problem everyone.  I have a msi that installs several files into the gac.  I DO NOT create a shadow copy of these files on the file system until my property called CREATESHADOW has a value of 1.  These assemblies have installers in them that I need to call.  (I know managed installers in not recommended but have to get done quickly)  When I put my custom action in and call InstallUtilLib the file isn’t actually on the file system.  Is there a way to have InstallUtilLib refer the file via its temporary location that is used by the installer?  Thoughts?

There is no temporary location. Files to be installed into the GAC aren't put down until the install is being committed.
