Is it possible to use C# console application for detecting existing Prerequisites

I want to detect existing prerequisites by using "Search done by a custom executable" option. Is it possible to add a C# console application for this purpose?

I have a C# console application for detecting prerequisites. But using "Search done by a custom executable" for detecting prerequisites, I was only able to select the .exe file but not the additional files required to run the console application. How can I add the required additional files for the C# console application?

Can you also elaborate on what type of executables I can use for this purpose?

Hello,

You need to build your application as a single EXE output file.

In order to achieve this, please take a look at the Single-file deployment and executable article.
