I don't know the direct answer to your question, but taking a step back,
have you considered any alternatives instead of adding a custom action?
Custom actions are notoriously difficult to write correctly, and very, very
easy to get wrong. A custom action that invokes an external process (such
as java.exe) is *especially* likely to result in a product that doesn't
reliably install or repair on all machines, and may also be difficult to
service or patch.

What problem is your custom action meant to solve? Perhaps there is another
way to solve that problem, without having to write and maintain a custom
action at all.
