Setup: Include all Debug Symbols with Installer

[sonnyz]

Hi everyone,

(Using Visual Studio 2005) Assume I have a project with a single class named "MyClass.cs " and a setup project in the same solution. I know that if I want to include the debug symbols (MyClass.pdb) for that class in the installer then I add "Debug Symbols" to the Application folder. Thats the easy part.

Next assume I am referencing a dll named "YourClass. dll" in the project. When I build the project I see 4 files in the debug directory:

MyClass.dll
MyClass.pdb
YourClass.dll
YourClass.pdb

But when I run the installer my installation directory is missing YourClass.pdb. Does anyone know how I can have the installer include pdb files from referenced libraries?

Thanks in advance,

S. Zubia

The solution seems to be to right-click in the file system view for that destination folder and just add them.
