I want to deploy (click once) an .net / entityframework application without requiring the user to install the .net connector package on the target machine first.
Searching the web tells me that this should be possible by copying the mysql.data.dll and the mysql.data.entities.dll to the /bin folder which I did. Unfortunately the application doesn't run on the target machine. However,It runs perfectly if I install the connector package prior to the install of my app.
I'm sure I forgot something simple but cant figure out what...
BTW: If I remove the entity framework part (i.e. just using a plain MySqlConnector for testing) it works without a problem.
Thanks for any help
