Wix installer custom action which runs a WPF application

koleraba asked:

Hi
I have an existing installer based on Visual Studio Installer Setup project. The installer on install phase executes a custom action which opens a WPF application which allows the user to configure the application being installed(changes to configuration file, create / modify SQL server databases...). Since the Visual Studio Installer is no longer supported in Visual Studio 11, I need to re-implement the installer with Wix. I managed to create an installer but I am having difficulties with custom action which runs a WPF application. The WPF application used as a custom action is installed together with an actual "target application".
If a user cancels a custom action the install process has to be canceled.
Any ideas will be appreciated.
