Hi,
1.
You cannot run a DOS command directly. Only EXEs, DLLs and scripts can be used as custom actions.
In order to do a copying you could use an executable that copies a file to a location. Both would be received as parameters.
2.
You can run a script on those systems, provided that Windows Scripting Host is installed on them.
Regards,
Mihai
