How do I specify the Help Link, Support Link and Update Information?

There's a bunch of Windows Installer properties to take over this. They all start with ARP (Add Remove Programs). Take a look at the full list with description of each. In WiX this will look like any other property set:

<Property Id="ARPHELPLINK" Value="http://support.mycompany.com" />
