Hi Matt!

You mean like this?

 <ExePackage Id="TTUpdate" SourceFile="C:\Downloads\setversion.EXE"
PerMachine="yes" Vital="yes" >
        <Payload Id="Versiontext" SourceFile="C:\Downloads\version.txt" />      
  
</ExePackage>

This is the way I have it today, and both files are copied to the same
package cache folder, but since the installation process of the exe isn't
started from that folder it's not going to find the text file. The process
is started from the path where the BA.exe is, and that's where it's looking
for the text file.

When I have the same case but the payload is a dll, then there is no problem
(maybe the dll gets registered in GAC?)
