How do I add a file to VS2010 template that is not in the project?

Question

I built a new VS2010 project template (based on MVC2, but it's not important). Most of the files are, of course in the project, but there are a few that are not. For example, T4MVC.setting.t4 and instructions.pdf. Although they are not in the project, I would still want to put them in user directory when new project is created.

However, the files seem to be installed only if they are list in .vstemplate and .csproj. Is this observation correct? If no - what am I doing wrong. If yes - is this a bug?

Answer 1

Unfortunately that is what I have observed. I would vote this question up but I do not have enough rep.
