Sorry, didn't have time to do anything with DTF yet, but from the MSI point of
view you need to use formatted
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368609(VS.85).aspx) value.
Depending on what exactly you need - file path or folder path, you use either
[#filekey] or [$componentkey]. Keep in mind that their value will be set only
after costing is done (your custom action is invoked after CostFinalize).
To get the value of formatted data you use the following (MSI API pseudo code):
PMSIHANDLE hRecord = MsiCreateRecord(1);
MsiRecordSetString(hRecord, 0, _T("[#filekey]");
TCHAR buf[MAX_PATH];
DWORD len;
MsiFormatRecord(hInstall, hRecord, buf, &len);
