VS2005

hi,

I have an application in VS 2005 C#2.0. In the main project properties under debug option:-
Start Action- Start External Program (Path e.g. C:\\program Files\FingoX\fingo.exe)
This external program is executed 1st when we run the application through Visual studio and run successfully. This program actually called our application.

when I run this application in release mode then it through message:-
The Debug target is missing. Please build the project and retry

I want to know how to add the external program to our application while releasing the application.

Release to customer:
Add a setup project, add the exe as a file besides your project output. Only add a shortcut to the exe in the Programs menu, and there you go.

Run in release-configuration:
When testing your application in VS, and you press "Start Debugging", you must remember to set your "Release"-configuration to start external program as well.
