renaming a file with install time argument

[Eric Napier]

I need to install and invoke an executable file.  I also need to specify the
file name at installation time (some of the arguments are taken from the
file name).That is, at compile time I can include 'myfile.exe'.  But at
install time, I need to rename this file to SomeArgument.exe where
SomeArgument arrived via msiexec param.
What is the best way to do this?

Thanks,
Eric Napier

There's no support in MSI for that.
