Is it possible to invoke a nested console application through powershell custom action ?

Hi there, 

Can anyone give me some advise whether it's possible to invoke a nested console application through powershell custom action ?

The reason why I wish to do this is I'm using "XML File Changes" to create a config file during installation. Inside the config file there are some sensitive information such as account & pwd which I wish to encrypt. Currently I used some Property so such information can be key in during installation and then saved into the config file.

I'm considering may be I can use customer action to encrypt the value in property before it gets saved, and I also created a simple console application which can do the encryption.

I read through the manual, and I can now use the powershell to set property, but I have no idea how to make use of the console application.

Any suggestions ? 

Really appreciate!

- Randy
