Possible to package a config xml file with ps1 packaging tool?

Tool: Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, PSScriptPad, PowerShell Module
Version: 5.21.1

Is it possible to package an xml file to be accessed by the script when running? I have a script that references an xml file I have created for certain functions and would like to know if there is a way I could package that with script when I package it into an exe. I am using the vscode extension to package the script.

You could store the xml in a string rather than as a file.

$MyXml = @‘
<xml>
...
</xml>
‘@
