Hrm, alright - suppressing the GUI prompt itself is out of the question,
then.
Can anyone give any advice on what the best way to do this would be?

-  optional file might be placed in the distribution directory (eg. a logo
file), with a specific name and location
-  at MSI runtime if the file exists, the MSI will copy it to the
destination
-  if not, continues on without bothering the user

My approach at the moment is to simply create a dummy file in my source
directory when harvesting with heat, and setting its Vital flag to false.
This works fine, apart from the GUI popup.

cheers,
Andrew
