Replacing DLL in Windows Installer Project

I have a Windows Installer project built for my VSTO add-in. However, I have to run one of my DLLs through an obfuscator at the end, but if I try to build the setup project with the modified DLL, it just rebuilds my original DLL and overwrites the modified one. Is there a way I can build the setup project and use my modified DLL?

Thanks.

You should be able to run the obfuscator in your post-build event:

if $(ConfigurationName) == Release <obfuscatorprogram> $(OutDir)$(TargetFileName)

Post-build events are in your project properties, under Build Events.

if you're already doing this, I'm not sure what's wrong.

Can you simply add the DLL to your installer project the way you'd add a static file? Treat it as 'content'.
