My Visual Studio 2005 setup project (vdproj) is satisfying it's Project Output dependency using files in the obj directory. I expected it to pull from the bin directory. This is a problem because I have a post build step that modifies the project output (it ILMerges all dlls into a single exe, if it matters) and updates the bin copy only.
My plan is to copy the post-processed exe from bin back into obj. But is there a better way?
(I could replace the Project Output dependency with a File dependency. But I do not think I could make that dependency switch between debug/release versions of the file.)
