How to include config file in WSP?

I use NLog for logging and now I'm trying to also use it for my SharePoint solution.
How do I instruct WSPBuilder to include NLog.config in WSP and place it in the same folder as solution dll?

EDIT:

Okay, another option is to put it as Web.nlog in SharePoint 80 directory.
Do I need a separate feature for this? What should I write in elements.xml?

Solution

  • I don't think this can't be done - I assume for security reasons.

    DLLs can only be deployed to GAC (signed assemblies only) or to the bin directory of the web application (deployed via the solution manifest, along with any required CAS policies).

    If you want extra files alongside the assembly in the bin directory, you'll need to copy them manually.
