Hey Sudripta, No, there is not a direct way to do this during a running installation. If you are only focused on a single file you could put the file in the Binary stream table and then pass it to a CA (immediate CA -> deferred CA) that both writes it to this location AND removes it. This file would not be managed by Windows Installer at that point. Rather it would be up to you to handle install/rollback/uninstall.
