Subject: [WiX-users] custom action to modify a file

I've been googling this for a couple days and maybe I'm just not looking for
the right combination of words, so can anyone point me to a custom action
that would let me modify a text file during install? I need to update it
with the selected installation path that the user has chosen.

Thanks!
