C# creating ".exe" with libraries

I'm using some dlls in my project. To make a '.exe' file i only used 'Released' in Solution Configurations. In my computer exe file works, but in another there's an error: "Can't load file X...". X is a dll file. How can i solve this problem? I copied all dlls into project-bin-realese.

The above answers are generic for loading dependency libraries. However, it may also depend on how the exe loading the libraries. For example, MEF has a DI engine to load catalog libraries from a specific folder. If the required libraries are not there, you may get similar exception. Check your .exe requirement for its specific dependencies.

If you don't need the dependency on the DLL, then right-click it under "References" in your project and remove it. If you do need the dependency, then it will need to go to the other computers with the EXE.

Copy the DLLs into the same folder as the EXE. It you put them in a sub directory then you are going to have to use the <probing> element in an app.exe.config file so that the CLR can find them there.
