There are other options, involving custom actions.  Using the "SourceDir" and
"TARGETDIR" properties successfully, and writing a custom action that
operates at the right time could potentially place files next to the MSI at
install time into the installed location.  That sounds like what you'd want
to accomplish.

I've done something slightly similar in the past, but not quite the same.  I
used the "SourceDir" property and an API call into the installed application
to patch a file in a very specific case where it made sense to do it this
way.  The pieces are definitely there in the WiX/MSI world, but as is
sometimes the case with MSI, the timing of the CAs and finding the right
properties are what is more difficult.

Anyway, I just wanted to bring up another option to consider.  In your
particular case, if there aren't that many different versions and the build
process can just generate those versions once and then you can deliver them
to sets of customers, I would go the separate MSI route.
