add a file to an .msi on the fly? is this possible?

5
Ok, so the project that I'm working on is a generic program and will be distributed to many people via the web but i need to be able to add a personalized image to the .msi before distribution...

So what would happen is that a person will go to the website, enter a code that they were given, and once they are confirmed I then need to be albe to add a specific image based on their code to the .msi (this needs to happen on the fly), then allow the person to download the program.

I guess the only way that I can think of to add an image to a program is in the resources...but you might think of other ways...and I'm not sure if I can do this on the fly though.

I tried searching the net a couple times and couldn't find any articles on exactly what I need to do.

Let me know if this wasn't specific enough...
