You can use Custom actions to add your own routines:.
There are 4 phases of the setup process:
1. Install: Occurs before installation starts.
2. Commit: Occurs after installation succeed.
3. Rollback: Occurs before uninstallation starts.
4. Uninstall: Occurs after uninstallation succeed.

If you are using a VS setup project, right click the project in the Solution Explorer, select View, and click Custom Actions.
