I have two DLL files which I’d like to include in my EXE file

  • 0

I have two DLL files which I’d like to include in my EXE file to make it easier to distribute it. I’ve read a bit here and there how to do this, even found a good thread here, and here, but it’s far too complicated for me and I need real basic instructions on how to do this.

I’m using Microsoft Visual C# Express 2010, and please excuse my “low standard” question, but I feel like I’m one or two level below everyone else’s expercise :-/ If someone could point out how to merge these DDL files into my EXE in a step-by-step guide, this would be really awesome!

    For .NET Framework 4.5

    ILMerge.exe /target:winexe /targetplatform:"v4,C:\Program Files\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.0" /out:finish.exe insert1.exe insert2.dll

    ILMerge

    1. Open CMD and cd to your directory. Let’s say: cd C:\test
    2. Insert the above code.
    3. /out:finish.exe replace finish.exe with any filename you want.
    4. Behind the /out:finish.exe you have to give the files you want to be
      combined.
