If it's a regular file, then it should be installed on disk.  Just schedule 
your custom action to run after InstallFiles, then you can read it from disk 
where it was installed.

Subject: [WiX-users] Read file content from CA

Is it possible to get the contents of a file from a custom action (managed
code)? I know I can get the contents of a binary item, but is it possible to
somehow do the same for a regular file included in the installation package?
I want to do this in an immediate custom action executed in the ui sequence.

I'm guessing no since I've searched and googled extensively, in vain, but
I'm still rather new to wix so perhaps I've missed something.

Thanks,
Niklas
