To clarify Rennie's comment...
Yes, you will need a custom action, but not one that you code
manually. The already available "Type 51" custom action (see the
<CustomAction> element, specifically the "Property" attribute) should
be able to handle what you need if the user just enters the server
name. (I.e it should be possible to build the actual URL - the value
attribute would contain something like
"tcp://[USER_ENTERED_SERVER_NAME_PROPERTY]:11232/", possibly using
other properties for the protocol and port areas.)
Of course, this may not be appropriate in your scenario, but I'd
certainly recommend it over a string manipulation custom action you
create yourself.

Richard

I believe that you will need a custom action.
You don't necessarily need a custom action -- it depends on what you
need the value for. For example, any field that supports formatted text
can take multiple property references:
tcp://[SERVER]:[PORT]
So unless you need to set a property to use in many places, you can just
refer to the "long" formatted value. That works fine in Registry
elements, for example.
