In a WiX Bundle, how can I supply a settings file for an ExePackage?

I am authoring a WiX bundle that installs several other pre-build packages, some are MSIs and some are EXEs.

One of the EXE packages requires a settings file to be supplied which I have to give the path to on the command line.

  <ExePackage Id="exePackage"
              Description="Executable Installer"
              PerMachine="yes"
              InstallCommand="-settings=TheConfigurationFile.txt"
              SourceFile="RedistributablePackages\TheInstaller.exe" >

How should I package TheConfigurationFile.txt so that the EXE installer can find it? It isn't clear to me how to do that as I can't seem to find any way to specify a file in connection with the ExePackage...?

Check out the Payload element.

<Payload SourceFile="TheConfigurationFile.txt"/>
