I wouldn't, simply because some of the difficulties others have reported as well as introducing another dependency to your installer. A simple C++ CA DLL can be compiled for a minimal footprint and has no dependencies.

Hello Wix users, I have a very simple custom action something on the lines of validating a key as part of setup, the min requirement that the setup to run is on Win2k8 R2+. Now I can achieve the same thing in a dll but I feel its an overkill and is easily achieved in a script, for a while I was pondering over using vbscript until I read the warning in http://blogs.msdn.com/b/robmen/archive/2004/05/20/136530.aspx and decided against vbscript. Could folks point out if doing the same in powershell is ok?
