Maybe it would be better to implement a 'Import data' utility in the application instead of a setup.

Hello, I am building an installer where we distribute our regular software on a CD. Then the user has an option of getting another DVD with data files on it that I would like to go into the existing directory structure of the software install. Would it be best to use a Patch? I do not want the existing install to be available on the data DVD, just the data, so would a patch even be possible? Perhaps it would be better to have a separate installer and just look for the installation directory registry key and go from there? Any suggestions on the best way to handle this. It would be nice if those data files would be removed if the user does an uninstall of the original product.
