Author Branding files

I have an application which requires different branding options. At present
the branding files (bmp and txt files) are being copied across to the
platform via the CAB installation file. This is fine, but does potentially
allow the user to corrupt the files. I do not wish to add the branding files
into the exe as this will mean creating a new exe for each customer, but I
would like to avoid the possibility of the user corrupting files. i.e
Changing the bmp file etc.
Is there a way around this?

compile them into a .dll, or specificly a .mui file. you can load them
as resources, but don't need to comple your main app for each branding
