Question

I’m trying to install some folders along with my app – folders with help files. How should I do that? Right now I’ve added two files to a setup projects as assemblies, though I don’t know how to get to those files in the Install method of my installer class, and copy them to correct folders…
I even don’t know if those files are being added to installer, so if someone would explain me how to install custom files along with my application – step by step, I would be grateful.

You can add a setup project to your project and mention what all items should be copied to the destination install directory when you install it. I did the same thing and written it here for anyone wish to do it.
