I need to add some files that are required only during the setup
process. For example, I need to store the banner image for the
installer. But, there's no such Special Folder like "Temp" in the sub
menu items of the [Add speciall folder] menu. I added a "Custom
folder" and named it "temp", but I've found that it was copied at the
installation destination. Where am I supposed to store temporary files
such as an banner image for the installer? Thanks.

A custom banner image for your installer, if it has been configured
correctly, will be compiled into the final MSI installer file. No "temp
folder" should be needed.
