Dale,
Normally, you should stay away from scripting custom actions if what you want
can be done without using custom action. Have you tried escaping curly braces?

Thank you for the pointer Alex.
It looks like I'll be better off creating a script and embedding that in
my .msi rather than trying to do a "one-liner".
