2. I have been messing around trying to learn about resources per Castro's suggestion. Right now I have something that is working fairly well. I made the three files a resource and then they are written to the current working directory of my bootstrapper, so they may be referenced properly. Then they are removed from the machine when the install finishes. I have one concern though, what if the user is trying to run the install from a directory that they do not have write access to? Is there a way to update the reference to the dll so that i may write them to the users temp folder instead of the working directory?
