1.you can add Bundle.wxs as  payload,the payloads files are extracted to the temp folder
2.I think the standard way is to add info to the "BootstrapperapplicationData.xml"

Thanks Tom

i was actually looking for the files themselves, but they are only available after Apply (as far as i can tell)
but "BootstrapperapplicationData.xml" (in TempFolder\{WixBundleProviderKey}) is exactly what i was looking for it has the Display name and Description, etc.

Thanks
doron.
