Hi buddies...

I have used the 3rd party software the DevExpress .
It has some extra features over Visiual Studio.
I have used those fetures ..
Now in my .sln file (in VS 2005) in refrences it shows all dll's that I have used ...
Now, I must add those dll files into my .msi ...
I have checked the PreRequsite menu in advance installer...
I cant find any way to add the 3rd party dlls to add in the project ..
How to add those .dll files in my msi ?
Is there other way to add those dll's ?

Hi,

If you are referring to dependencies, you can add them by following these steps:
- go to the "Files and Folders" page
- select the file which has these dependencies
- right-click it and select the "Add Dependencies" context menu
- in the Add Dependencies dialog choose the dependencies you need

If you simply want to add the DLLs to the project you can use the "Add Files" button or context menu.

Please try writing in the same thread if the posts are related (you created three different threads on the same subject).

Regards,
Cosmin

Hi...
I have added the prerequesite .Net Framework 2.0 in to my project ..
on clients machines it works fine(while executing the my applications .msi file, First .Net Framework installed ....No Problem with that)
Now,I want to add the dll's same way as the as we add the .Net Framework 2.0 ...
I want to add the dll's into .msi,can I do that ?
I follow your steps as your previous comments .. adding depedencies of .dll to .exe file
but it gives Visial studio error and Advance Installer application closes immidiatly...
(after adding dependencies it dont shows the file sizes of that dll's, question mark appears insted of file size..)
What should I do ?

Please note that this is not possible. A prerequisite is another installation package which needs to be installed before your package. Perhaps you are referring to installing the DLLs. Please note that the User Guide contains some tutorials which may help you:

Perhaps the dependencies are not configured correctly or they cannot be found. Let me know if the tutorials I mentioned do not help you.
