Aaaah, that link helped.  I actually need to run vsixinstaller.exe and pass it 
the vsix.  Now to find out how to schedule such an action...

Seems like there is special procedure to do that:  
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee332502.aspx
Also, documentation is saying that in order to install templates using .vsix, 
target system has to have SDK or Visual Studio installed.

As far as WiX code validity, CA declaration looks fine.

Subject: [WiX-users] VSIX after installation?

I'm trying to use Wix to drop some DLLs on the target machine and then run 
another installer, this being a .VSIX that installs some templates.

I'm not having any luck getting this to work.  This is what I'm doing right now:

<Binary Id="vsix" SourceFile="..\..\..\SolutionItems\sobmofogdfu.vsix"/>

<CustomAction Id="InstallTemplates"
                           Execute="deferred"
                           Impersonate="no"
                           ExeCommand=""
                           Return="asyncNoWait"
                           BinaryKey="vsix"/>

<InstallExecuteSequence>
       <Custom Action="InstallTemplates"
                     Before="InstallFinalize"/> </InstallExecuteSequence>

This doesn't work.  All I want to do is tell the operating system to "execute" 
the friggen vsix.  How do I do this?
