Dotfuscator and vb.net

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.

Play around with the different test versions of available obfuscators
and take a look at their feature sheets:

Hi,

With a dll obfuscated with the dotfuscator comunity edition and
renaming disabled reflector shows all the methods. You get errors when you
try and disassemble the code.

In the reflector it allowed me to see the code for all subs involved.
