You'd need to put it in the Binary table, and then extract it in your custom action before interacting with it. It's easy enough to get the file in to the table (<Binary .../>), but extracting it will take a bit of leg work. I don't believe there is any automated/existing code to extract the payload.

I need to call this file in a C++ Custom Action, where would I locate it? Is there a such a directory/property?
