Bob, as far as I understood your CustomAction simply set the Property='BackupFiles' with the value specified. Try create another custom action of the type 50 (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372048(VS.85).aspx), probably like this: <CustomAction Id="DoBackupFiles" Property='BackupFiles' ExeCommand='/e /c /y h:\Sites h:\BackupSites ' Execute='immediate' Return='ignore' Impersonate='no' /> but in this case, most likely your CustomAction should be like this: <CustomAction Id='BackupFiles' Value ='c:\xcopy' Property='BackupFiles'></CustomAction> and include both CustomActions into the InstallExecuteSequence.
