[wix-users] Getting binary file's path

[Alan Sinclair]

if it's a file in your MSI then you can use [#filename] which resolves to
the fully qualified name of the file
see  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/msi/formatted

if it's a binary on the target machine you have to use AppSearch to locate
it
