    What should I do when the "Missing Dependency information." window pops up?

    Well...like it says, if you want to mark the file as permanently missing the information, go ahead; otherwise, just click "Next"

    Ok, whats the significance of doing one or the other? Also, this question related as well, when I get to the Installation locations part some locations are marked $(WinSysPath) and some $(AppPath).

    Also, again. I have some folders that need to be installed with my app, how to I get these to be added to the deployment.

    What should these be?

    I think (which doesn't necessarily mean this is right) that if you mark a file as permanently having no dependencies it will never ask you again for that file and will always make that presumption; whereas, if you don't mark it you'll get prompted every time, but if it is a component that you have developed and you make upgrades to that component and it later has dependencies (which the system fails to locate), you wouldn't know until you deployed the app. and discovered it was broken. -- I hope that's all clear as mud, and if I'm off, one of the more educated will enlighten both of us.

    Also, this question related as well, when I get to the Installation locations part some locations are marked $(WinSysPath) and some $(AppPath).

    A file that goes into the $(WinSysPath) -- e.g. Windows/System32 -- is most often a .dll file that is referenced in your project that is not proprietary. Files that go into the $(AppPath) are files specific to the application (.ocx, .dll, etc.) and any proprietary references as well. Based upon what you are saying, and I would presume you mean that you want some files to be included with the install, they should go into the $(AppPath) -- when you add them in, and click "Next", it will most likely make that association for you though.
