Hello,

Does anyone know how to include additional dlls in a DNN Install file?

I've tried adding the dll to the manifest as shown below, but that doesn't work. flexicontent.dll is picked up, it's the main project file.
EF.dll isn't, it's in a separate visual studio project, but the dll is in the bin directory of the dnn installation.

              <name>FlexiContent.dll</name>
              <path>bin</path>
            </assembly>
            <assembly>
              <name>EF.dll</name>
              <path>bin</path>    
              <sourceFileName>EF.dll</sourceFileName> 
            </assembly>

Hello Aderson,

Thank you for your answer to my question.

I made the changes as you suggested but with a small change and it's now working :-)

I had to change:
<Copy SourceFiles="$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\bin\[YOUR DLL NAME].dll" DestinationFolder="$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\Package\bin"/>

To:
<Copy SourceFiles="$(MSBuildDnnBinPath)\bin\[YOUR DLL NAME].dll" DestinationFolder="$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\Package\bin"/>
As my project doesn't have a bin file

I suppose something like this would work too (NOT TESTED!):

<Copy SourceFiles="$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\[YOUR PROJECT DIRECTORY]\bin\Release\[YOUR DLL NAME].dll" DestinationFolder="$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\Package\bin"/>

Thank you once again.

Best Regards,

Steve
