The WiX IIS custom actions don’t cover your needs?  What will the external command do specifically?

I’m trying to deploy web services to an IIS site running Sharepoint along with some templates that will be loaded as documents into the Sharepoint library.

 

Looks like just executing an external command would be easier then.

You’d have to do it via your own custom action.  What is your scenario?  In general you should avoid custom actions because it’s very difficult to write one properly/securely.

I see, so say I want to use temporary files during install as part of a custom action, but don’t want the files to be on the system after execution.  Is there a built in way to do this?  Or do I have to make my own custom action and perform its own extraction and cleanup?

Files in the Binary table get extracted by the installer to a temporary folder upon execution.  Is there a way to get the full path to the temporary file using just an Id from the binary table?

No. MSI extracts the files only for the duration of the custom action call.
