There are many variations of this question, but my question is specific to libc.dll. I am not concerned on resolving the dependency. I want a work around to avoid that warning.

I have 30 projects in my Forms Application. When I publish the setup using InstallshieldLE I am getting ISEXP : warning : -6248: Could not find dependent file libc.dll, or one of its dependencies of component Sample.CommonModules.ChangeUnit_.Primary_output

warning for each primary output.

Due to this warning the publish is taking longer and killing my time. Is there a way I can bypass this warning in InstallshieldLE?

I just want get rid of that warning. I don't mind creating a mock libc.dll file and placing it some where to let the InstallShieldLE assume that it has that file.
