You can use Publish feature of VS. Note that you can change settings in the Publish section of the console application project to remove some features that you don't need. For instance the renaming of .dll and .exe files by appending the '.deploy' extension to the name of the files or publishing in a new 'version' folder each time. Go to "Project Properties"->"Publish" and remove "Automatically increment revision" checkbox at "Publish Version", click "Options..." button and clear all checkboxes there too.
