You added a COM component to your project. The IDE automatically generated the interop assembly for it. Yes, you'll need to deploy that DLL along with the EXE. The greater effort however is in making sure that this COM component gets deployed on the target machine as well. You'll need the vendor's installer if this is not a one of the COM servers that are available on any Windows machine. "t1" certainly doesn't sound like a standard one.
