How to use a Support File

I have an executable that I want to run during installation, but not have it be installed on the destination machine.

So far I have tried unsuccessfully adding it to Support Files under English. Then I am attempting to have a Custom Action run it. But I have failed to do so. There is always an error.

Can anyone give me insight on the proper way to do this?

Thank you.

I have solved this. For anyone who wants to know...

The Working directory in the Custom Action needs to be:
SUPPORTDIR

with no brackets and no quotes.

The Filename needs to be:
"[SUPPORTDIR]\"

SUPPORTDIR with brackets and the whole thing in quotes.
