Installer framework questions

Hi, all -

I created an installer today. Seems to be mostly OK, with a couple of minor issues. I got a bunch of files in the installation directory that I wasn't expecting:

components.xml
installer.dat
maintenancetool.[dat|exe|ini]
nextork.xml
a text file I'd put into my com.vendor.product/data directory to remind me of something

How do I tell the installation tool not to include any or all of these files? (This is an offline installer, so no repository is configured.)

Thanks...I hope everyone is safe and healthy.

BTT: anyone?

I'm also curious as to whether I can override the default installer behavior of disallowing installations into existing, non-empty directories.

And...as a bonus question: how can I get Creator to automatically copy my .exe into the installer area? If I understand the docs, this should work:

installer.path = ../installer/packages/com.vendor.product/data
INSTALLS += installer

But, it doesn't copy the file.

Thanks for any help...
