WiX 3.5 has a "LayoutDirectory\LayoutFile" mechanism for that. In 2.0/3.0
you will need to do that in your build environment instead of in WiX.

Subject: [WiX-users] adding arbitrary files to Wix solution

Hi,
I have a deployment mechanism which uses an XML file to deploy .MSI files.
I want to add the file to the WIX solution only for the sake of copying it
to the project Out folder (I won't use it in the WIX itself).
How can I achieve such behavior - when I add files to the project, the don't
have the "copy to output folder" option.

Eran
