Have you had a look at the ShellExecute custom action? From the manual:
"ShellExecute CustomAction
The WixShellExec custom action in wixca (part of WixUtilExtension)
lets you open document or URL targets via the Windows shell. A common
use is to launch readme files or URLs using their registered default
applications based on their extension. Note that WixShellExecute can
only be used as an immediate custom action as it launches an
application without waiting for it to close. WixShellExec reads its
target from the WixShellExecTarget property, formats it, and then
calls ShellExecute with the formatted value. It uses the default verb,
which is usually "open." For more information, see ShellExecute
Function.
Here's how you could use WixShellExecute to launch a readme file based
on its File/@Id attribute value using WixUI's support for adding a
checkbox to the final dialog: <CustomAction Id="LaunchReadme"
BinaryKey="WixCA" DllEntry="WixShellExec" Execute="immediate"
Return="check" Impersonate="yes" />
<Property Id="WIXUI_EXITDIALOGOPTIONALCHECKBOXTEXT" Value="Open readme" />
<Property Id="WixShellExecTarget" Value="[#readme]" />
<UI>
<UIRef Id="WixUI_Minimal" />
<Publish Dialog="ExitDialog" Control="Finish" Event="DoAction"
Value="LaunchReadme" Order="1">NOT Installed</Publish>"
</UI>
If you want to run more than one command line in the immediate
sequence then you need to schedule WixShellExecute multiple times and
set the WixShellExecuteTarget property (using a type 51 custom
action) right before you want each of them executed."
