Setup.exe: Could not load file or assembly

[chuckwuthrich]

Hello -

I have a project that references another project. Admissions requires the Admissions.Extensions .dll to work correctly.

I have installed shimmer for my project using nuget and followed the instructions for adding an dependency to the installer, located here.

However, when I run the Setup.exe file, the installer crashes with an exception:

Additional information: Could not load file or assembly 'Admissions.Extensions, Version=1.0.49.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Both Admissions and Admissions.Extensions have the <BuildPackage>true</BuildPackage> nodes in the .csproj files.

Admissions.nuspec:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<package xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/packaging/2010/07/nuspec.xsd">

  <files>
    <file src="..\Admissions.Extensions\bin\$configuration$\Admissions.Extensions.dll" target="lib\net451\" />
  </files>
</package>

packages.config:

  <package id="Admissions.Extensions" version="1.0.49.0" targetFramework="net451" />
</packages>

How do I get the Setup.exe file to contain and install the required Admissions.Extensions.dll?

Thank you,

Chuck

It appears this version of Squirrel is dead. I have found an alternate solution, so you can close this.
