deploy dll in subfolder

[unknown]

I have a plugin dll, with References to 3 other dlls. I'd like these in a subfolder under the folder with the main dll, but cannot figure out how in the install project part of the solution. Thanks...

Setup projects have a File System view listing folders - if you right-click
on the main one you can add another. Is that what you mean? Then you just
add the Dll to that subfolder.

Thanks, I did that, I guess I did not word my question totally correctly. It does install them in the subfolder, but when I run the app, I get the:

"Could not load file or assembly 'Control_Name, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=Neutral, PublicKeyToken=efjdiekjffj' or one of its dependencies. The system could not find the file specified."

So, I guess my real issue is how to configure this when I'm developing. I have tried to mirror the install dirs, so I do have a subdirectory in my project named the same as the dir will be when installed, and the reference dlls are in there, but it's obviously not correct. Thanks...

That's weird, I cannot see my quoted paragraph. Here is is again -

Could not load file or assembly 'ControlNameHere, Version=x.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=e444157244638e02' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

If you client exe is in one folder then it will not locate a dependent
assembly in another location. That's the way private assemblies work. So if
you want dependent assemblies in a subfolder of the client app you can use
privatebinpath in a config file, something like this:

<configuration>
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<probing privatePath="bin;bin2\subbin;bin3"/>
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime></configuration>
