location of TurboActivate.exe + .dll

[Using TurboActivate with C# - Step-by-step walkthrough]Next we'll copy "TurboActivate.exe" and "TurboActivate.dll" from the x86 folder we extracted. Put these files in both your project's "Debug" and "Release" folders.

--------------I got no "Release" folder in my projectbut got 3 Debug folders. bin > Debug > ...> Debugand prj > Debug

two questions:

1, which "Debug" folder should I put in?

2, Why do the .exe and .dll need to put in 2 places? Is it redundant?

1, which "Debug" folder should I put in?

Wherever your application is being built to so you can just run your app from your debugger.

2, Why do the .exe and .dll need to put in 2 places? Is it redundant?

You don't have to so long as your deploy TurboActivate.exe, TurboActivate.dll and TurboActivate.dat with your app to your customers. It's just a convenience thing.

I am getting confused. First, Step-by-step walkthrough says to put all 3 TurboActivate files in "Debug" and "Release" folders. Now you said "You don't have to".

But still need to "deploy TurboActivate.exe, TurboActivate.dll and TurboActivate.dat with your app to your customers", but how?How is this different from Step-by-step walkthrough instructions?

I am not as smart as you guys, so please give me a clear guidance. Thanks.

I'm saying if you have experience, and you know why the step-by-step walkthrough is telling you to do that, then you don't have to. If you don't know why it's asking you to do that, then yes, you should follow the step-by-step walkthrough.

But still need to "deploy TurboActivate.exe, TurboActivate.dll and TurboActivate.dat with your app to your customers", but how?

When you create an installer to release your app you'll include your application files. Also include TurboActivate.exe, TurboActivate.dll, and TurboActivate.dat.
