Deployment of dll along with project

I have a question regarding Deployment of Dll along with Project using Visual Studio

My scenario is that i have an application project for barcode scanning in visual studio. I can deploy the project without any problems. But i have to manually copy a dll named MCSSLibNet.dll (which is the barcode library for .net) in Windows directory of device.

Is there any way i can deploy the dll along with deployment of Application. Because i have 500 Devices where i have to deploy it. And copying a file seperately on every device is a pain.

Please Provide Complete Steps on how to include the dll file in visual studio 2008 that it copies it to Windows Directory of the Device during project deployment

Thanks

Sorry, I can't provide complete steps, but you can add a Setup Project to your solution which will allow you to include the DLL and any other files that need to be deployed with your application. The Visual Studio help pages provide all the information you should need to implement this.
