Dotfuscator and Deployment

[Guest]

OK, I have successfully obfuscated the .exe in my bin folder. When I build
my deployment project, the obfuscated .exe is rebuilt to its original
unobfuscated state. How to I prevent this from happening so that the .msi
file has the obfuscated .exe? Build SetUp Project still insists on
rebuilding the .exe, presumably because it is a dependent of the setup
project.

What switch or setting am I missing?

Thanks,

John

Hi,

Create a new setup wizard project (not added to a project) and add
the obfustated exe to the files to include. The wizard will automatically
detect any dependancies and add them to the project.
