I have a WPF application in which I am utilizing a third party component. It came packaged in a .msi file so there was an actual installation. I am assuming it registers the component during the install. I've added a reference to the component inside the project. I can compile and run with no problems but when I install the project to another machine I get exceptions. The reason being is the dll/xml files for the component are not being included.
I use two other third party components as well. VS seems to be smart enough to generate copies of these dll/xml files and place them in /bin/release. Why does it not do this with the other? Is this something I have to explicitly setup?

I think I stumbled upon the answer to my own question. Right clicking on the reference and selecting properites gives me an option of 'Copy Local'. Setting this to TRUE copies the files to the output directory on build.
