I have an application that executes a shell process which is actually an open source standalone executable.

At the moment people installing this application have to first copy the executable onto their PC, and the set the PATH environment variable.

Is it possible to include this 3rdparty.exe binary so that when the user has installed my application, the executable is also transferred?

Maybe something like the same programs directory my application is installed in.

I have read the help files for C# Express, MSN and hunted the web, but nothing obvious sprang up.

Thanks in advance.

I doubt if Express editions would let you create a Deployment package. However, if you are using a Professional edition, you can create a Setup project and add this 3rdparty.exe file to the deployment package.
