If you are trying to run a batch file, you might want to use a custom action (EXE with a path referencing a directory). For your working folder, you'd want [SystemFolder]. For your executable and command line args, you'd want cmd.exe /k "batchfile.bat %commandlinearguments%", where %commandlinearguments% is equal to you args you need.

I'm actually not sure if that would work... but it would be where I'd start if I needed to run a batch file from an install.
