Adding Documentation Files to MSI Installer

Windows Setup projects have a folder/placeholder for documentation files. How
do I attach a CHM file to that placeholder. I am creating a setup for Windows
Forms App. I surely do not seem able to set a Help file for application. If I
am not wrong such functionality existed in VS6. Why such an essential
facility seems to have been removed from the system?

The whole setup projects actually seem more like teasers and an
advertisement for Installer products like WISE and InstallShield for any
serioous application.
