Hi Michael,
You cannot use Property elements within the Property element.
Instead, use this:
<SetProperty Id='MYEXE' Value='[INSTALLDIR]MyExe.exe' After=' '/>
Another approach is just:
<CustomAction Id="DoSomething"
Directory="INSTALLDIR"
ExeCommand='[WindowsFolder]command.exe'
Execute="immediate"
Return="check" />
If your app is in the INSTALLDIR folder, remove [WindowsFolder]
