Here's a quick example of how you would use a foo.dll method called
foobar.
<Binary Id="FooDll" SourceFile=".\foo.dll" />
<CustomAction Id="DoFooAction" BinaryKey="FooDll" DllEntry="foobar">
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="DoFooAction" After="InstallFiles"/>
</InstallExecuteSequence>

That tutorial is a very good place to start messing around with WiX.
http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson3.php#3.3
That section in particular deals with custom actions using dlls.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Beginning Question
Well here's what I have right but still not quite sure about several
things.
What is the wix equivalent of the UsingTask line so it knows to look in
those dll's?
In MSBuild:
<UsingTask TaskName="MSBuild.Community.Tasks.AssemblyInfo"
AssemblyFile="MSBuild.Community.Tasks.dll" />
<UsingTask TaskName="MSBuild.Community.Tasks.Math.Add"
AssemblyFile="MSBuild.Community.Tasks.dll"/>
<UsingTask TaskName="MSBuild.Community.Tasks.Zip"
AssemblyFile="MSBuild.Community.Tasks.dll"/>
<UsingTask TaskName="Sedodream.MSBuild.Tasks.GetAssemblyVersion"
AssemblyFile="Sedodream.MSBuild.Tasks.dll"/>
So far in Wix:
<CustomAction
Id="UpdateAssmebly"
FileKey="not sure what to put here"
Return="ignore" />
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom
Action="UpdateAssmebly"
After="InstallFiles"
<GetAssemblyVersion AssemblyPath="path to exe">
<Output TaskParameter="Major" PropertyName="Major" />
<Output TaskParameter="Minor" PropertyName="Minor" />
<Output TaskParameter="Build" PropertyName="Build" />
<Output TaskParameter="Revision"
PropertyName="CurrentRevision" />
</GetAssemblyVersion>
<!-- Bump up revision number -->
<Add Numbers="$(CurrentRevision);1">
<Output TaskParameter="Result" PropertyName="NewRevision" />
</Add>
<!-- Checkout AssemblyInfo file in preparation for version
increment
-->
<Exec Command=""$(TeamBuildRefPath)\..\tf.exe"
checkout
$(AssemblyInfoFilePath)" />
<!-- Generate new AssemblyInfo file with new version -->
<AssemblyInfo AssemblyCompany="company"
AssemblyCopyright="Copyright"
AssemblyFileVersion="$(Major).$(Minor).$(Build).$(NewRevision)"
AssemblyProduct="product"
AssemblyTitle="title"
AssemblyVersion="$(Major).$(Minor).$(Build).$(NewRevision)"
CodeLanguage="CSharp"
OutputFile="$(AssemblyInfoFilePath)" />
<!-- Checkin AssemblyInfo file to preserve version increment -->
<Exec Command=""$(TeamBuildRefPath)\..\tf.exe" checkin
/comment:"Auto-Build: Version Update" /noprompt
/override:"Auto-Build:Version Update" $(AssemblyInfoFilePath)"
/>>
</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
