Building the installer package

I have a problem, I am trying to build a msi setup for windows C# application. Its a windows desktop application. When I build the setup using the Visual studio 2010, its successful its working but whenever I use Advance installer its giving me an error. It jumps to middle of the application and generates an error. Here is what I am doing:

I have configured the first part, means the application information clearly using the tutorial.
In application folder, I added the whole release folder,[ I have built my application in the release folder]
I have made a shortcut too for the executable file.

It builds successfully but when I run it, its giving me error after the installation?

Any help is appreciated!

Re: Building the installer package

Hi and welcome to our forums,

So the error appears after the installation? i.e. when you launch your installed application using the shortcut, yes? If so, it seems that you are missing some dependencies for your assembly. Have you tried the option "Add dependencies" for your main executable? Just go to Files view, right click on it and you will find it in the context menu.
