See the CustomAction element in WiX. I don't remember the exact syntax.
You'll also need to add that custom action to one of the execute
sequences.

RE: [WiX-users] Cannot run "The Definitive Guide to Windows Installer"
sample and "Variable is undef
Hi Kelly,
Thanks for your response. You mean I need to run this script through
installer. I am using WIX installer. That means I need to create some
kind of CA to kick off this VB script. Is that right? Would you give me
some sample how to do it?
Thanks,
Kai

This vbs is meant to be run by windows installer. You can't just double
click it - windows installer defines 'Property' as a member of it's global
object. This is a feature of windows script hosts - they can register an
object to act as the set of 'globals' for the hosted script.

[WiX-users] Cannot run "The Definitive Guide to Windows Installer" sample
and "Variable is undefined: 'Property'
Hi all,
I am wonder whether anyone bought the book named "The Definitive Guide to
Windows Installer" and try to run GetARPLoc.vbs sample from Chapter 5 and
keep getting the "Variable is undefined: 'Property'". In the Charpter 5,
there is a vscript sample named GetARPLoc.vbs.
Here are the codes behind the GetARPLoc.vbs file.
option explicit
dim installer, msg
Set installer = CreateObject("WindowsInstaller.Installer")
msg =
installer.ProductInfo("{B3E1B56E-D853-4780-BF62-47B95195CD6B}","InstallLocation")
Property("TARGETDIR")=msg
set installer=Nothing
msgbox msg
Since this is a VB script, I launch it by double clicking it. However, I
receive "Variable is undefined: 'Property'". Does anyone know how to
solve this issue?
Thanks in advance.
Kai
