There are several questions similar to this, but none have answers

I found the answer here and transcribed here for the case of the link die.
In your App.config
file, insert this:
<configuration>
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<probing privatePath="lib" />
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime>
</configuration>
Then go to Project -> Properties
--- right click in your Project
, then in the ContextMenu
select Properties
.
Now go to Build Events
and add the following code inside the Post-build event command line
text box (as you can see in the bellow image).
; Move all assemblies and related files to lib folder
ROBOCOPY "$(TargetDir) " "$(TargetDir)lib\ " /XF *.exe *.config *.manifest /XD lib logs data /E /IS /MOVE
if %errorlevel% leq 4 exit 0 else exit %errorlevel%
After
Build your project and say good bye to your OCD!
