Maintain directory structure
This maintains the directory structure for the files of an output group. Select
this option when the files in an output group need to maintain their directory
structure to function properly in the installation. This option is selected by
default for non-build output groups (examples: Content Files and
Documentation Files output groups).
Exclude dependencies
This excludes dependency files from the output group that are referenced by
the project. Select this option when you want to exclude dependencies from the
installation. If you clear this option, the dependencies appear in the parent
folder of the output group.
Note
You can change the Maintain directory structure and Exclude
dependencies options that you select for an output group on the Output Group
Details dialog box.
See
Working with the Visual Studio Solution page
When new output files are added to the solution, they are added to the installation
in the same directory as their output group, even if the output was moved from its
original directory. If you select the option to maintain an output group's directory
structure, when you add new files to the solution, they are added to the
corresponding directory in the installation.
