VBScript? Absolutely not!
Why do I say that? Because among other reasons you then place an
additional dependency on the installation (the scripting runtime). True,
VBScript custom actions are supported, but I think you'll find comments
from people who should know (E.g. Rob Mensching - see his Blog entry in
the WiX help entitled VBScript (and Jscript) MSI Custom Actions Suck -
that strongly advise against it).
Do it in something like C++ that you have full control over and can be
built in a way that doesn't require external dependencies. You'll be
thankful later.
Regards,
Richard

Thanks for your help.
Do you think a safer approach would be VBScript or other easier
file-manipulating language should be used instead?
