Custom Action Type 6 in the Windows Installer SDK Help
This custom action runs code from a VBScript file that is installed by this installation.
Use this to call the script file during installation, while leaving the file on the destination
computer as part of the installation.
Tips
Before you add this custom action, add the file to be called to the Files page in
Installation Expert.
Shaded areas of MSI Script indicate restricted placement for this custom action;
because this custom action calls an installed file, it must run after files are installed.
Use the script to read and write properties to the installation.
The destination computer must contain the script's runtime.
