Agreed. When I need to do this, I make the non-versioned file a CompanionFile of the assembly which has the API which consumes those files. At least for WCF web services, that works pretty well.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Component Rules As long as there is an appropriate file to use, I agree, although really it has the same result. It wouldn't be appropriate to make them a companion of a file they're unrelated to as that would introduce a bogus dependency and if that other file ever disappeared, then you could introduce some nasty issues.
