Short answer: [#myDirId] might work.
Long answer:
I've done it by setting a property like so for file Ids:
<CustomAction Id="Set_MyExeString" Property="MyExeString"
Value=""[#myFileExeId]"" />
<CustomAction Id=" MyExeString " Execute="deferred" BinaryKey="WixCA"
DllEntry="CAQuietExec" Return="check" Impersonate="no" />
...
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action=" Set_MyExeString " After="CostFinalize"
> </Custom>
<Custom Action="MyExeString" After="InstallServices" >
</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>

Subject: [WiX-users] How do I reference Directory Id's in custom action's
exeCommand
If I have a Directory tree:
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="$(var.ProgFilesId)">
<Directory Id="AAA" Name="AAA">
<Directory Id="bbb" Name="bbb">
<Directory Id="ccc" Name="ccc" />
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
And a custom action:
< CustomAction Id="xxx" Directory="PowershellLocation"
ExeCommand="powershell.exe -NoLogo -NonInteractive -WindowStyle Hidden
-Command " APS-Cmd -Path Full-path-of-directory-ccc-here""
Execute="deferred" Impersonate="no" Return="check" />
Is there any way to use a variable where I have Full-path-of-directory-ccc-here
above? I know you can reference a directory Id in
the Directory property, but how about the ExeCommand? I don't want to
hard-code the full path if I don't have to. Also, there's a
possibility directory "AAA" could be overridden from command-line too.
