I planned a software on Visual Studio 2002, in C#. The software has a series of dependencies and nuget packages to which it affixes. I finished the software and I would need to create an installation package to insert it in the stations, making all the necessary DLLs (OLEDB, Interop word, etc ...) are also installed. I tried to do everything with the Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Project 2022 extension, which should easily create a package. The problem that when I pass the project it does not detect any dependence. I also tried to make a simple program of a mere empty form to see if the problem was my project. But even in this trivial software no dependence is ever detected. I'm desperate ...
You've put much effort into it, those dependency issues can be real roadblocks. Have you considered checking the project settings or perhaps trying a different installer tool? It might help to dive into some forums or communities where others have faced similar challenges, they might have some insights that can help you move forward.
