Extract DLLs at Runtime

[SeanDugdale]

Hi there,
I am currently working with ZeroMQ in order to stream data asynchronously into Excel cells. This is working as expected however, I encounter issues when it comes to packaging and installing. I have to pack both the native libzmq.dll as well as the .NET wrapper ZeroMQ.dll however, when I install the 64-bit addin there are exceptions thrown due to not being able to correctly load the native library. I was wondering if there was any way to extract the binding and native dlls to the addin directory or if there is a more appropriate method for this case (we can have the two dlls unpacked but would rather they be packed within the xll for cleanliness). Thanks very much.

What is the .NET runtime version you are targeting, and the Excel-DNA version you're using?
I think we currently support native library packing only for the .NET core targets, not .NET Framework.

Ahh we're using version 1.7.0 of Excel-DNA from NuGet but are targeting .NET Framework 4.7.2 which I suppose is the issue then, thanks for the info!
