[wix-users] How to get the return value of customaction in wxs file?

I'm using 'backup' method in customAction to back up some files. This method
reads the install path from the xml file.
I would like use this install path in product.wxs file . How to get the
install path value from customAction to product.wxs file?

What's the approach? Is there any way customAction returns the value to
product.wxs file?

I'm very new to wix toolset. 

Thanks in advance.

Hello All,

 

How to accomplist this? Is this possible?

 

I want to call a custom action and it should returns the path of the install
folder to wxs, so I can use it in wxs file?

 

Thanks,
