I'm not a WiX or install expert by any means, but this worked for me:
<!-- The custom action to launch the ReadMe.CHM file when the
installation
completes. -->
<CustomAction Id='LaunchReadme'
Return='asyncNoWait'
ExeCommand='hh.exe "[INSTALLDIR]ReadMe.chm"'
Directory='TARGETDIR'>
</CustomAction>
<!-- Perform the custom action only if it's an new install and the UI
level
is INSTALLUILEVEL_FULL (or completely interactive).
-->
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action='LaunchReadme' OnExit='success'>
(NOT Installed) AND (UILevel=5)
</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
