I have a project that relies on several dlls and once I compile it, it requires that I run the .exe in the same folder with the dlls. Can I package them together so I don't have to do that?
For reference, I'm using C#


You can use ILMerge to combine them into one.

Embedding an external executable inside a C# program
(8 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
I have an executable with dll dependencies that I am using in my program and I want to be able package the other exe and dlls together with my application. This is a c# application and I am not sure what the other exe is (c# or c++).
As of now, I am just referencing an external file (C:\blah\bin\blah.exe) with the exe and dlls, but this won't work once other people start using the application and will need the exact exe file location.
Is there a good way for me to embed this exe into my application?

You can't. You'd need to create these as separate projects. It might however be possible to merge to create a single assembly on build using ILMerge.

Merging .net managed dlls
I create a test project in which I referenced a dll from some other project. When I build my test project, I see different dll for test project and the referenced dll. I want to wrap both dll's in a single dll.
How can I do it.

Take a look at ILMerge:

With ILMerge you can merge a bunch of assemblies by running the command like:
ilmerge /out:MergedAssembly.dll ProjectAssembly1.dll ProjectAssembly2.dll ProjectAssembly3.dll
This will merge 3 assemblies into a single one.
