deployment dotfuscator help ??

Need help with windows form setup project. I used dotfuscator(fre e version
with vs 2005) and do not know how to add the output (renamed assembly .exe)
to the setup project. If I remove the original .exe and replace it with the
dotfuscator version it will not work.

thanks for any help,

I am not sure but some free versions of obfuscators don´t allow a tight
integration in the build process. So, instead of using Add\Project Output,
use Add\Assembly.

If everything else failes you can also build from the command line: build
the exe project, obfuscate and build the setup project.

OK, I'm trying to understand the need for this. If I understand correctly without this anyone can reverse engineer and obtain the source code of my application - is this correct?

I am using Dotfuscator Community Edition to obfuscate an application for Pocket PC written in C#. When I made the first pass with Dotfuscator, the app threw a MissingManifestResourceException. Of course, since the app has been obfuscated, the only information I got about what caused the error pointed to resource aq. The Dotfuscator listing window had WARNINGs about all the forms in my app, so I excluded them on the 'Rename' tab and...

I have a dll created from an asp.net component I wrote. I want to distribute it to other developers but I'm told it can be reverse engineered.

The External Tools dialog box comes up, I highlight Dot&Fuscator Community Edition, Hit OK and nothing happens. What am I...

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,
