Automatically adding non-referenced dll's to ClickOnce publish

[jayrooney07]

Hi,

I'm working on a C# project in which there's a conflict between two dll-files (office automation dll's, version 2.1 & version 2.4), forcing me to manually copy the second dll to the "bin/Debug" folder instead of referencing to it in the solution. The problem is that the project needs to be distributed using the ClickOnce publish feature in Visual Studio 2005, and the second dll is not added to the distributed version of the project.

Now I need this file to be included into the publish procedure, so it is added in the result and can be used. I have been exploring VS 2005, but I didn't find any solution up till now.

Is there a way to auto-include non-referenced dll files to a publish, or will I need to solve the dll conflict in another way?

Both dll files have a different name and the project runs as it should, but the "old" dll file does not completely support the features we are using. And upgrading the old functionality to the new Office dll is also not an option :-(.

Any help is appreciated! ;-)
