I'm new too, so I'm gonna be verbose. Here's the steps I took using VS2008.
Create a new WiX installer project.
Add a new project to the solution - C#/VB/C++ custom action project.
Add the code to the custom action project to generate the file you want.
Compile the custom action project.
Reference the custom action from within your WiX markup.
<Binary Id="myAction"
SourceFile="..\CustomAction1\bin\Debug\CustomAction1.CA.dll" />
Use the CustomAction element and specify the call.
<CustomAction Id="DoMyAction" BinaryKey="myAction" DllEntry="CustomAction1"
Execute="deferred" Return="check" Impersonate="no"/>
Ensure the call is only run on install.
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom After="InstallFiles" Action="DoMyAction">NOT Installed AND NOT
PATCH</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
