I have created Windows Forms application and setup project for it in VS.NET
2002.

After I recompiled Windows Forms application in VS.NET 2003, setup project
has detected that my Windows Forms application depends on a dozen of
framework DLLs (e.g. System.Dll, System.Data.Dll, ...)

Setup Wizard wants to install these system files into application folder as
dependencies of the main application file.

Why system Framework DLLs are included as part of my application package by
default ?

  They shouldn't  be getting added as dependencies if they are part of the
framework. We keep a place holder for the framework in the form of an
excluded merge module. You can go ahead and exclude all those files, if
they are already in the framework.

Thank you for reply. Here is how to reproduce this problem:

1) Create setup project in VSNET2002.
2) Add assembly compiled in VSNET2003.

Its probably because VSNET2002 cannot automatically exclude FW11's system
libraries.
