You don't say what, if anything, you want the file to contain; but one thing to keep in mind is that the InstallScript action should be scheduled for "deferred execution".
The InstallShield help mentions the syntax for an "entry-point function"---that is, an InstallScript function to be called as a custom action---but beyond that the particulars depend on what you're trying to do...
