I need to generate a list of all the files which are enough to run my application on any machine. I need this for a setup program. When i go to bin/release folder i'm able to see some pdb files and some configuration files, which i think will not be needed. I tried to disable generation of pdb files too but it still generates pdb for the other projects present in the solution.
So i need a way in visual studio 2008, which can get me all the files (the .exe and .dll and other files) required by my application to run.
Thanks.
Have you tried publishing the application (Build > Publish [app])?
This should just copy all the essential files to the specified folder.
