I have an msi I can deploy via SMS.

I also wish to deploy a configuration file in the local user profile (say, in the c:\Documents and Settings\Profile\Bob\Application Data\AppName\ folder)

Is this easy using sms2003? Or do i need some jiggery pokery?
 
I think this should be possible. When do you want the config file to be copied? After running the MSI file on the computers or before running?

Some people have roaming profiles.
Most people have local profiles.
Users share computers.

Ideally, the app is not installed to all computers except for a start-menu/desktop icon shortcut which when clicked, installed the app if not already installed and copies the config file if not already installed.
