I am at the last stages of my first Visual Studio 2008 vb.net project. I use within the project PDFCreator to create a pdf file. All working fine. I am now trying to "setup and deploy" my project using the setup wizard.

On my test pc, it installs without error. However, when I run the program it comes up with an error saying that it can not find gsdll32.dll in the c:\program files\GPLGS directory. This a ghostscript file that pdfcreator uses. You need to install ghostscript before installing pdfcreator normally.
When I have a look at the deploy project's application folder, it has the PDFCreator files and dlls but there seems to be no ghostscript files.

Can I include the ghostscript install program in my project somehow??? Or the ghostscript dll's??? or will I have to install ghostscript and then install my program??

What should I do ??????





 
It really depends on the other program simply including the files if it is a com dll generally will not do it because they have to be registered in the GAC. That is the most likely so then the best solution then is to install ghostscript.
