2005 Deployment including zip file -

We have a client who is asking if it's possible to have the installer unzip a zip file to a folder in the target path that's created by the installer.

The zip file will always have the same name and will be located in the same folder as the MSI file.

Is this possible?

What's going on is, the installer makes a a couple of folders inside the user specified target path. Then after the installer extracts it's files (the exe file and supporting dlls and templates) they want a separate zip file to be extracted by the installer (they want to be able to change the files in the zip file without recompiling the installer) to a directory made by the installer.
