prerequisites

I had media files require in the project so i did this + set built action to content

Now here are my problems

I would like my app to check for .NET and to check for other installs which is fine now that i made a prerequisite
I would like to copy media files when i publish
One of these files is a config file i like the user to edit

Problem is after doing 1 which gives me a publish folder with a setup.exe + files i have no idea where my installed files are and if i modify the file.ext.deploy i get an error about the hash of the file modified.

Is there a way i can have plain non deploy files or distribute the bin/release folder as i normally do but add something to check my prerequisite?
