You can use the below vbscript in custom action
Option Explicit
Extract "<SourceLocation>\MySource.zip", "<DestinationFolder>\"
Sub Extract( ByVal myZipFile, ByVal myTargetDir )
Dim intOptions, objShell, objSource, objTarget
Set objShell = CreateObject( "Shell.Application" )
Set objSource = objShell.NameSpace( myZipFile ).Items( )
Set objTarget = objShell.NameSpace( myTargetDir )
intOptions = 20
objTarget.CopyHere objSource, intOptions
Set objSource = Nothing
Set objTarget = Nothing
Set objShell = Nothing
End Sub

The answer is; you can't. InstallShield can control the properties of the files, so you can extract them from the ZIP file, add them to your MSI, and set the file properties.
