Add the file to the installer project separately (instead of as a project output) and mark it as permanent in properties.

Hi,<br />
<br />
I understand adding the files in the installer section but the problem is these files need to be in the LinkFiles folder after I install the application and I can't seem to add a folder in that section. How do I fix this problem?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.
