Ok, thanx to kind people in here i now know the way to pass the INSTALLDIR to a deferred CA executing an VBS in the binary table. YEAH  

So, now the question for convenience:
I need to start several deferred CAs that launch installed executables depending on installed features. Do i have to do the CustomActionData immediate CA for everyone of them, or does somebody know a more convenient way?

Maybe also a vbscript that holds the code to start all, and can enable/disable depending on the installation selected?

Thanx for every hint!

Cheers

In the InstallExecute sequence, prior to InstallInitialize I have created an immediate CA with lots of MsiGetProperty calls and store the values of any properties I need in script global variables and then use them as I please without having to use the CustomActionData mechanism.

Not strictly Kosher, but still tidier considering the alternative.
