I have a Church Database and the current version has a lot of data in subfolders that one cannot get rid of even in a new installation. When packaging the solution, access doesn't allow me to carry photos, slides etc that are in sub-folders. For example, I have .ppt slides of songs that are stored in the installation path. Access doesn't allow me to include them in the setup. This is because it doesn't allow me to include paths that are inside folders.
Is it possible to create a Sample Data App that runs after the installation is complete and copies the pics, slides etc to the respective folders? Or should I handle the whole issue differently?

Is it possible? Yes, of course it is.
Should you handle it differently? Well, there is no such thing as "should", really. Can you imagine a way to do it differently? You could include associated files as attachments or Blobs, but doing something you don't know how to do, of course, is extremely costly. What you should do is what you know how to do, and we can't advise you on that.
