Question

My problem is with one simple application project and a class library project with some GAC references, that I add into the Files section (Primary output on the app project only). The problem is that the installer REALLY wants to add all the non-Net GAC'ed files from the project into the installer even though they are explicitly set to Copy Local false (false in the project file).

How do I tell InstallShield to only take the dependency files that has Copy Local true and not everything in the list?

Was it helpful?

Solution

And I found the answer here: InstallShield LE (with Visual Studio 2012) completely fails to detect dependencies

Using the properties on the "Primary output" element under Files.

enter image description here

I just unchecked the GAC files from the that list.
