Just guessing: Are you sure it is spelled "dotfruscator"?

Change the command in "dotfuscator" and try again.

I think it's spelled correctly. This is a combination if words ".NET", "obfuscate" and "frustration". :-)

You could even try using Eazfuscator to protect your exes. The best thing is , its free. Make a google search and you will find it.

You're wasting your time. The version of Dotfuscator that comes with Visual Studio is the least capable of pretty much any obfuscator out there. Spend the money and buy something better (and "something better" isn't necessarily the retail version of Dotfuscator).

EDIT =======================

Voting my answer a 1 isn't going to change the fact of the matter - it is WIDELY recognized that the dotfuscator version that comes with VS is crap. It is also widely recognised that obfuscation of any kind is a waste of time. Anyone with the right tools can defeat obfuscation. Anyone that DOESN'T have the right tools, isn't interested in looking at your disassembled code in the first place.
