WIX Custom Actions

Question

I need to create custom actions in WIX for my MSI. I want to be able to read from a txt,xml or ini file and pass them through into a configuration file.

My problem is I cannot use .net, as the scope for the MSI is to not have any .net interaction and I understand jscript is not a good idea for several reasons.

What options if any do I have left?
