It will by default set it to a relative path, if it’s within your project directory. I’ve seen cases where that does break though (either older versions, or possibly when you move it around) so you should just be able to edit the .*proj file and manually change the path.
This question raises a flag for me though, since it seems like possibly you’re linking to a non-standard .dll that is outside of your project, and thus not in source control. You should generally be able to check out a fresh copy of a project and compile it.. and if you’re linking to random DLL files in specific locations that are not included, it’s going to cause issues in the future..
