I have no idea how you would do this with the package and deployment wizard. You may have to invest in something a little more costly to acheive this.

I've often wondered (though obviously not enough to go and look) - does the wizard give you options like running a program before/after install? If so, presumably that would be ideal for this kind of thing.
