Dotfuscator output in setup project

Hi all, I'm having a problem with this and haven't found an answer in
these groups or the Preemptive FAQ.

I have an assembly from my main project that is dotfuscated (CE
version) as a post-build event. This all works fine. However, my
deployement (setup) project takes the primary output from the main
project and the setup build therefore rebuilds the main project
overwriting the dotfuscated version. Looking at these NGs, this is
expected behaviour.

The only fix for this is, as I have read, to include the dotfuscated
file (rather than the primary output) in the setup project. This is OK
but with one problem: I then lose the ability to differentiate between
Release and Debug builds because the file include option has no
understanding of (Active), AFAICT.

Is there a way around this that anyone knows?

TIA
Mark

I have a solution with 6 or so projects, some dts dll's, a couple images, etc. I have a working setup project that creates a nice installation msi. Cool.

Then I build the setup project (while not re-building anything else, of course). That seems to...

Hi I have a c# project who load some other c# assemblies. I took one of the dll assemblies and ran the Dotfuscator and produce the output assembly. I added this assembly to the project (add reference) and the project doesn't compile. It doesn't recognize the new added assembly. Whats wrong? Do I have to use the Dotuscator on the entire project or can I have only some of its assemblies Dotfuscator?

How can we obfuscate without disabling renaming and using a setup project a project which includes a custom dll? If I attempt to do so after I change the reference path to the obfuscated dll the project bombs. If I disable renaming it appears to work, but the project simply looks like it was never obfuscated.

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,

Experts, I am using dotfuscator to obfuscate a C# project whose output is a set up(installable). The location where the setup project recieve binaries is quite different from the place where dotfuscator stores the project. Will the Setup produced after building the project will be a proper one? If not how to switch the setup project between the two locations ? I am using Visual Studio 2005.
