You could store the config file in the binary table as a dependency for
the MSI to run.
Take a look at the "Binary Element"

Subject: [WiX-users] Immediate Custom Action - Reading Config File
Is there a way to access an xml file (packaged within the msi) from a
custom action that is executed immediately.
I am trying to see if it is possible to update Properties from values
within a config file. Therefore a deferred custom action is not
appropriate as I will not have full access to the properties, but I want
to package the config file within the installer package and therefore a
packaged file will not be available on disk at the point that an
immediate custom action is executed.
In a nutshell I understand that any files will not be on the file system
when an immediate custom action is executed, but is there a way of
storing (and accessing) the file some other way?
Any feedback on this would be most appreciated
