Create an immediate custom action that calls GetPrintProcessorDirectory()
and sets the property PrintProcessorDirectory with that location (appending
it with a "\" character if it doesn't already end with one). Schedule that
custom action in the InstallExecuteSequence table someplace before
CostInitialize.
Add the following code to your authoring:
<Component ...><!-- The component that installs the print processor dll -->
...
<File ...><!-- The print processor dll -->
<CopyFile Id="CopyPrintProcessor"
DestinationProperty="PrintProcessorDirectory" />
</File>
...
Schedule your deferred custom action that installs your print processor
someplace after DuplicateFiles.

Subject: [WiX-users] How to copy a file to a variable location?
I'm trying to install a print processor using WiX and a C# custom
action.
My custom action invokes the Win32 AddPrintProcessor() that expects the
print processor DLL to already be copied to the proper folder. But
different platforms store print processors in different folders. I can
get the location of the folder for the target system from Win32
GetPrintProcessorDirectory() but how do I tell WiX to copy the DLL to
the proper folder before WiX invokes the custom action?
Thanks,
Dave
