i'm currently working on a C# VSIX project. In the solution there is a VSIX-project with ItemTemplate files, and also a ProjectTemplate-project which outputs as a class library.
The ProjectTemplate-project references to a local .dll file, and the VSIX project references to the ProjectTemplate-project. When launching in the experimental instance everything works how it is supposed to, when making a release build and installing it on my own machine everything is still fine. When i install the .vsix file on another machine, all the templates can be added like they are supposed to but the project template cannot find the .dll reference anymore.
I don't have high enough rep to post an image but the error i get is the general missing directive or assembly reference. (errorcode: CS0246)
How do i keep the reference from breaking?
It's worth noting that the reference to the projectTemplate is done with the SideWaffle extension.
TL:DR: reference to local .dll-file in ProjectTemplate breaks after running the .vsix-file on another computer.
edit: So basically i want to have a way to also deploy the .dll-file on the target machine so the reference does not break. But I only want to need to send the .vsix-file
