    During the P&D process, you will get a window titled "Package & Deployment Wizard - Included Files". There is a button on that window that allows you to add other files you want included in your setup package.

    After a couple of Next clicks, you will see an "Install Locations" window. You can tell the setup package where to install the additional file. Select the file from the list provided, scroll to far right to change the installation path of that file, if necessary.

    As an alternative to putting including in your setup as Lavolpe suggested you could put it into a resource file, no installation needed
