You can't.  If you install the .txt file and you schedule the .exe late enough 
you can get this to work.

Subject: [WiX-users] How to call "A.exe -parameter B.txt" where A.exe & B.txt 
are not to be installed

Hi,

I have two files A.exe and B.txt that are helper files that are not to be 
installed on the machine but needs to be in the msi package to complete the 
installation. Also,  I need to run "A.exe -parameter B.txt". I looked into 
using <Binary> but couldn't figure out how to pass B.txt as a parameter without 
having B.txt on the machine. Does anyone know how to do it without writing any 
C++/C# code?

Thanks,
Derek
