You've probably got an error in a script. You generally cannot run
scripts as if you were running them from the command prompt because the
command line run uses the Windows Script Host engine and MSI does not.
A typical error in a custom action is to call Wscript.Echo or
WScript.CreateObject or other WScript methods.

Subject: [WiX-users] How to run wsf/vbscript files as Custom actions?
Hi All,
I am able to set all the IIS Settings via the IISExtension for Wix 3.0.
Now, I need to set a few more settings which the extension doesn't
provide and hence would like to invoke a WSF file called iis.wsf which
sets additional settings of the website. When I include the file as a
Binary and invoke it in a custom action, I get the below error:
MSI (s) (14:DC) [19:00:54:212]: Product: MS.ESPS.WebApps.Marketplace --
Error 1721. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A
program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact
your support personnel or package vendor. Action: UpdateIISSettings,
location: C:\winnt\Installer\MSI33AB.tmp, command: cmohan-dev
C:\Depots\ESPS\mls\private\Deployment\iis\EdComWeb-dev.xml
<CustomAction
Id='UpdateIISSettings'
BinaryKey=d.wsf'
Execute='deferred'
ExeCommand='param1 ComWeb-dev.xml'
Return='check'/>
The binary files are defined as :
<!-- xml2iis files -->
<Binary Id="setaccess.vbs"
SourceFile="$(var.IIS_DIR)\setaccess.vbs" />
<Binary Id="a.vbs" SourceFile="$(var.IIS_DIR)\a.vbs" />
<Binary Id="b.vbs" SourceFile="$(var.IIS_DIR)\b.vbs" />
<Binary Id="v.vbs" SourceFile="$(var.IIS_DIR)\c.vbs" />
<Binary Id="d.wsf" SourceFile="$(var.IIS_DIR)\d.wsf" />
In the similar lines, when I include a VBscript file, say
updateConfig.vbs, and include it in a customAction, it gives the same
error. If I change the VBScript to call a function then the sample
works, but I would like to run the script as if its run from command
prompt.
Any help on how to invoke the wsf and vbscript files would be highly
helpful.
Thanks,
