Mongo DB Driver - DLLs copied to Addin Directory?

[lwlXUTTT]

Dear Community,

My question concerns the copying of all DLLs related to Mongo DB Driver to the Addin Directory of Revit - is it neccessary to copy all those files or is there any alternative of doing so? Btw, Connection with Mongo DB works great, but when any of those aasemblies are missing in Revit Addin Directory, exception is thrown... Is there a way to somehow bound those assemblies to my ExternalApp DLL?

Below DLLs that I need to copy apart form my ExternalApp DLL:

I went through the discussion (below), but I couln't find an answer there:

Sorry if it is a trivial question....

Any help much appreciated,

Hi @lwlXUTTT,

I doubt there is a straightforward solution to achieve this easily in Revit. you could use Fody.Costura to embed the .dll references automatically.

Also, you may follow  this forum thread on the same and see if you may get some insights to achieve a solution.
