Hi Simon,
You can get halfway there; you can request for a shortcut not to be
highlighted by specifying the following shortcut property.
System.AppUserModel.ExcludeFromShowInNewInstall
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd391568.aspx
Or add a ShortcutProperty element with
@Key='System.AppUserModel.ExcludeFromShowInNewInstall' and @Value='1'
to your Shortcut element, assuming you're using a version of WiX that
supports this element.

Only deferred, rollback, and commit actions use CustomActionData set
from the matching property's value. Immediate actions (all UI actions
are immediate) have full access to properties so this is unnecessary
and unused.

Just make sure you install a component to that directory - it doesn't
even need to contain any files. Then Windows Installer will remember
it for you, loading it back into the DirProperty.

The underlying storage for the .msi database cannot handle sizes over
2GB, so your assessment seems correct. Unfortunately the only
workaround I'm aware of is to move the large data outside the .msi,
necessitating external files (either .cab or raw source files).
