Looks to me as though your custom action is trying to run:
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe"
C:\InstallDir\SampleScript.ps1
I think Powershell needs the "-File" argument to specify a script to run
on the command line. Try
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -File
C:\InstallDir\SampleScript.ps1
Are you aware that Powershell doesn't support running scripts by
default? I'd suggest you open Powershell and type:
help about_signing
help Set-ExecutionPolicy
Your installer would be relying on the user to have *manually* set their
Powershell execution policy to something other than the default.
Best regards,
