If this is an exe that you're installing, why not use Execute Target instead?

i have to put that xyz via "expand this archive" (so it does not show up in "execute target file")
+ I have to pass the arguments to it.

I think that the correct syntax should be something like

CMD /C "$USER_INSTALL_DIR$$\$xyz.exe arg1"

So it's slash C and not backslash C and also assuming that your USER_INSTALL_DIR contains spaces you need quotes around.
