I either table drive the custom action (usually) or if that doesn't really make 
sense, I reference the properties in the custom action indirectly (using 
properties set to properties).

Subject: [WiX-users] Custom Action Reuse

The e-mail below is from an external source.  Please do not open attachments or 
click links from an unknown or suspicious origin.

This is probably more of a coding-style question, but what's the best approach 
to reusing C# (or other) custom actions that use properties?

Is it better to have a separate method for each declaration of the custom 
action that access properties specific to that declaration and use a common 
method to do the actual work, or is it better to use the same custom action 
declaration, and use WiX scheduling to set the properties then run the custom 
action, then set the properties again, and run the custom action again, etc?

Or is there something else?
