As per licensing, my company is very aware of what we are doing with regards to the different licenses. For example, the IP we are adding is to a BSD licensed package. We have a flagship product that isn't *nix based and we've been very careful there too, as we have utilized BSD licensed code

I appreciate the help here. But the question at hand is how do I add a file to a CD and get the file to install at install time? It shouldn't be as mysterious as it seems to be, i.e. I should be able to edit a file and say add this file. Or am I going about it wrong? Do I need to set up the
