Thanks Rob. But I really do need the runtime behavior in this scenario. I won't know which localized version of "release notes" to install until user selects the preferred locale in one of the install screens.
Is there a way to construct the file table entry dynamically during runtime? And would that be automatically uninstalled? Thanks.
