You can't use "\0" because the Windows Installer treats Properties as strings.
The WiX toolset uses a "MAGIC_SZ_CHAR" or something like that to separate it's
CustomActionData.

Subject: [WiX-users] Trouble adding /0 (via [~] to a property
I am trying to send my deferred custom action, multiple strings separated by \0
I tried �, but for some reason that gave me 0x0A (new line).
I read online that [~] is the proper way to add \0, but this seems to create an
entire string of \0 equal to the number of items in the string beyond it (+2).
For instance
<CustomAction Id="myaction.SetProperty"
Return="check"
Property="myaction"
Value="[~]A"
Yeilds 3 0s
Value="[~]AB"
Yeilds 4 0s
Can someone point me to where this is documented or better yet explain how I
would do something like
Value="foo\0bar\0baz\0"
Thanks,
- Matt
