Copy additional files on build

Hi, my setup package should include additional files (such as setup instructions, HTML bootstrap and so on), to be copied directly in the build folder when building.
Is this possible in IA? Or I should keep copying them manually after building?
Thanks

Dear User,

I am sorry but your question it is not enough clear to me.

do you want to include a file at build time to be used later during setup process?

Regards.

Actually, my setup package is part of a complex disc layout. Right now, once I finish the build, I have to manually copy several files and folders in the output folder (readme files, setup instructions, other setup packages).
This is something I'd like to automate in some way, to avoid distributing an incomplete package.

Dear User,

I'm very sorry but that is not possible with InstallAware.

The only possible suggestion that I can figure is to use a batch file.
With this you could execute the IA project build from command line and subsequently, the copy operation that you need.

Regards
