MSI installer - invoke PowerShell script

I have a blocker in MSI installer package creation, please find the below details and let me know if any solutions,

I wants that PowerShell script as MSI installer package
Working in visual studio 2017 community version to make MSI installer package
For that I used WIX installer commands and created wxs file to make MSI
Successfully created MSI installer using WIX but while installing that MSI, it’s not invoking PowerShell script
o But I could see that application installed ( listed in control panel & installation folder is created in C:\programFiles)
Used wix SetProperty, CustomAction & InstallExecuteSequence cmd but no luck with invoking Powershell script

wxs file :

<Property Id="POWERSHELLEXE">
  <RegistrySearch Id="POWERSHELLEXE"
                  Type="raw"
                  Root="HKLM"
                  Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PowerShell\1\ShellIds\Microsoft.PowerShell"
                  Name="Path" />
</Property>
<Condition Message="This application requires Windows PowerShell.">
  <![CDATA[Installed OR POWERSHELLEXE]]>
</Condition>

<SetProperty Id="InvokeTestPS1"
         Before="InstallFinalize"
         Sequence="execute"

<CustomAction Id="InvokeTestPS1"
