Instead of using the 'File' command to extract files to the InstallDir....
Is it possible to access them within the EXE resource ? I have an xml file within the exe that I would like to keep inside the exe's resources...
is this possible ?

Not that I know of.
You should extract it to $PLUGINSDIR.

To make sure it's extracted quickly, use ReserveFile rather than File. This will make the compiler store your file at the top of the compressed files list (so it's accessed quicker).
