Add ability to push down additional files or a directory

For example, by trying to install jre7 on win2k8r2. From http://wpkg.org/Java:
"On 64-bit hosts installing the exe doesn't work: the silent install on a 64-bit host is still looking for the msi in the *System32* directory, so the best thing to do is to install the msi package."
Problem is that if you obtain the extracted .msi by running the .exe and finding the temporary extracted directory (outlined at http://goo.gl/wCzMI), it also needs the accompanying Data1.cab
file in addition to jre1.7.0_25.msi
.

Yes, I'm looking for this feature as well. Our backup solution contains an msi along with a data1.cab among other files. I would love to be able to move the entire directory. I could see this also being useful for installing larger applications such as MS SQL or Exchange.
