<SetProperty Id="CustomActionName" Before="CustomActionName" Sequence="execute" Value="[#fileid]"/>
(since CustomActionData is the alias for the property named the same as the deferred custom action itself). See http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/aa368609.aspx for details on when this is will work and what you will get: If a substring of the form [#filekey] is found, it is replaced by the full path of the file, with the value filekey used as a key into the File table. The value of [#filekey] remains blank and is not replaced by a path until the installer runs the CostInitialize action, FileCost action, and CostFinalize action. The value of [#filekey] depends upon the installation state of the component to which the file belongs. If the component is run from the source, the value is the path to the source location of the file. If the component is run locally, the value is the path to the target location of the file after installation. If the component has an action state of absent, the installed state of the component is used to determine the [#filekey] value. If the installed state of the component is also absent or null, [#filekey] resolves to an empty string, otherwise it resolves to the value based upon the component's installed state. For more information about checking the installation state of components, see Checking the Installation of Features, Components, Files.

Also, would this filename include the full path? Any help appreciated.
