A couple observations:
1) You can delete a folder without a custom action. The RemoveFile
table can be used to remove an empty folder by specifying an empty
FileName column. The standard actions RemoveFiles and RemoveFolders
will process this table and the CreateFolder table to remove files and
folders when a component is uninstalled.
2) You don't need to call CreateObject to get the Installer object; it
is available in a script custom action as the global Session object,
which is also the default object.
3) You don't use the installer variable that you're trying to create.
4) The Property() call that gets the value of INSTALLDIR is using the
default, global object named Session to obtain this value.

I get the following error when MSI tries to run the this VBScript CA that
deletes a folder

Dim fso,InstallPath,tmp,res
Set installer = CreateObject("WindowsInstaller.Installer")
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
InstallPath = Property("INSTALLDIR")
tmp = Mid(InstallPath,1,3)
res = tmp & "ConfigFolder"
If (fso.FolderExists(res)) Then
fso.DeleteFolder(res)
msgbox "Left over folder found!Deleted!"
Else
msgbox "Folder not found!Nothing deleted!"
End If
Error 1720. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A script
required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support
personnel or package vendor. Custom action DeleteConfigFolder script error
