just finished a program and I would like to make it just one file so its easy to hand out and not have extra files just laying around. I made a program using a framework that needs a .dll to be in the same location as the .exe. Could someone help on how i can embed it to make it just 1 file?
I tried to use the (Package Manager Console) with "install-package costura.fody" and that didn't seam to work then i tried (ilmerge) and that wasn't working also.
Made with: vb.NET

Did you try LibZ I linked you to?

Did you download an executable? If so just create a batch script to automate it:
LibZ Compressor.bat
Code
REM This script automates the LibZ compression process REM It automatically builds the LibZ command with exe and dll file names
@echo off
::Delayed Expansion will cause variables to be expanded at execution time rather than at parse time setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
::Path to the LibZ executable set LibZpath="PATH TO LIBZ\libz.exe"
::Declare variable to hold the path of the program set exepath=
::Declare variable to hold the name of the program set exename=
::Declar variable to hold the names of the dlls set dlls=
::Iterate over current directory and grab the exe name and path for /r %%i in (*.exe) do ( set exepath="%%i" set exename=%%~nxi )
::Iterate over the current directory and grab names of the dlls wrapping them in quotes for /r %%i in (*.dll) do set dlls=!dlls! "%%i"
::Execute the LibZ command plugging in the current directory, exe and dll names ::%LibZpath% inject-dll --assembly %exepath% --include %dlls% --move %LibZpath% inject-dll --assembly %exepath% --include *.dll --move
