Change a logo for each install w/o rebuilding?

If I use "Place files unpacked" could I change a resource file such as an image for my app for each install without rebuilding the install? For example, if I have an application that displays a company logo on the form (my application, not the installer setup), and I want each client to have their own logo, can this be done without rebuilding the install? SO I could just change some image file with the same name and burn a new CD.

Hi,

I have tested this and it works fine, but I don't think it is recommended since all the file informations (like file size, etc) are stored in the MSI database.
