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.

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