I have an application that utilises the BouncyCastle framework, how can I package this application so that I don’t have to manually put BouncyCastle’s .dll on others computers? I’m assuming that this can be done with an installer or something similar? Where do applications look for referenced third party libraries by default?
Since BouncyCastle is a managed library, if you create an installer project in Visual Studio and add your application’s exe to it, the installer will automatically detect the dependency on BouncyCastle, and add it to the installer project. When users install your application, BouncyCastle’s dlls will be automatically copied to the installation directory and everything will be good.
