[wix-users] wix powershell extension?

[Edwin Castro]

See http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/xsd/ps/

These elements are for installing Powershell snapins and other resources.
They are not for executing Powershell scripts at install-time. If you're
installing Powershell resources, then I'd recommend moving away from
snapins and using modules instead. A module can carry all of the resources
that can be installed with the WixPSExtension.dll but modules can be xcopy
deployed.

If you're looking to run a Powershell script at install-time, then you
should likely check

NOTE: I don't know of any tools that allow you to interact with the Windows
Installer with Powershell like you can do with native, managed, vbscript,
or jscript custom actions.
