I can only use "properly supported methods" if they do exactly what we want to. Since they don't, we're using custom actions. I don't think it's reasonable to expect that WiX does *everything* that us users would potentially need for all our install needs.
So, my question still stands. Even the slightest hint would be greatly appreciated!
