If you have a property in you msi package (for example, INSTALLDIR), you may pass in as parameter using syntax: [PROPERTYNAME].

So, you should find your custom action and add into exe String list of properties (for example, "[INSTALLDIR] " "[COMMONFILESDIR64]" etc)

Run msi installer with command line: msiexec /i(or x) setup.msi /l*vx log.txt - and see the log file. msiexec will write ALL properties to this file.
