VS: Dependency content files not picked up

I have an Setup project that installs App.exe.

App.exe depends on 1) A third party library NLog.dll which comes with NLog.xml. 2) another project in the solution which has content files Lib.xml.

To the setup project, I added "Primary output from App" and "Content Files from App". The installer didn't pick up the third party lib config (NLog.xml) and the content files of its dependency (Lib.xml). How do I instruct VS to pick up those two?

Note that all these files are available in App/bin/Release/.

Thanks.

Since config files are .config and your dll are using XML, VS assume that those files are the help files for the class.. You should add the files manually to the setup project. VS will not add them.
