I think you have it right. While it is best practice to preserve the baseresource file, keep in mind to get the client to use your customresource file, you will need to modify the config file so it will use your new file. You can modify the server config file with the ConfigEditor.exe in the Client folder and then use the ClientZipInstaller to include the config file in your deployment zip as well.
