To clarify Rennie's comment...
Yes, you will need a custom action, but not one that you code manually.
The already available "Type 51" custom action (see the <CustomAction>
element, specifically the "Property" attribute) should be able to handle
what you need if the user just enters the server name. (I.e it should be
possible to build the actual URL - the value attribute would contain
something like "tcp://[USER_ENTERED_SERVER_NAME_PROPERTY]:11232/",
possibly using other properties for the protocol and port areas.)
Of course, this may not be appropriate in your scenario, but I'd
certainly recommend it over a string manipulation custom action you
create yourself.
Regards,
Richard

I believe that you will need a custom action.
WiX creates MSIs. It does not replace or enhance Windows Installer, and
it is Windows Installer that drives the UI during the installation.

Subject: [WiX-users] WiX and string formatting
Hi All,
Does anyone know if it is possible to format strings via WiX?
I'd like to be able to manipulate a string entered via the UI so
that it conforms to a certain format. The scenario I have is that I
have a URL value that I want to insert a port number into).
E.g. from
tcp:\\server\
to
tcp:\\server:11232\
I figured I'd have to use some sort of custom action for this,
but thought I'd check if WiX handled this sort of stuff...
