Make copylocal=true in property window for that folder and make sure when u build the app this dll should get copied to ur bin/Debug folder.

[timosoft]

thanks for your reply. all dll files are in the bin/Debug folder. but am not sure they are being copyied when i build. how do i ensure that. on the setup and deployment there is a page for selecting project output. am only ticking primary output from my app. am i not supposed to tick others?

[Pgmer]

Delete the dll's from debug folder and build ur application again, if copylocal=true then all the dll's should come in debug folder again, And what is your way of deployement?

[timosoft]

all the dlls is set to coplocal = true on the references. i deleted the dlls from the debug folder and build my app again. the dlls did not come back to the debug folder. am using the setup and deployment to build exe installer. thats the way am deploying

[Pgmer]

you mean third party software to build the installers? And if copy local=true then when u build the app it should get copy to out put folder.check ur output folder its debug or release.

[timosoft]

no not third party installer, i use the studio setup and deployment to build exe file for the app. yes i can see the dlls now in my release folder. but still same thing error when i try to run d program after installation. i cant even find the application files on my computer program files

[Pgmer]

Change ur configaration debug. And check your project property pages. from where it is taking the files when you building the app.

[timosoft]

have changed that to debug folder, on the project property pages how do i chk where its taking files?

[Pgmer]

In property pages of the project Configuration should be active Debug,Build output path should be bin/Debug. Are you using the publish wizard of the visual studio?

[timosoft]

all recommended config. set. yes am using the publish wizard for visual studio 2008. i only get this dll not found problem when i build exe file with the wizard. when i click on build > publish and publish the app to my desktop i dont get the eror message.

[timosoft]

now cant publish ma beautiful app.. gosh..! because i used custom dlls

[Pgmer]

What you mean by cant publish? You can publish with any dll's. Make all the dll's Copy local property=true and or add them in Prerequisites of app and try to publish. in publish folder you should be able to see all the dll's

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.
