如何为 MS Office 2007 加载项创建清单？

Question

Hello I have the Addin for Word 2007 that is creted using VSTO. I would like create installer for add in and found short manual for registry entries ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc442767.aspx ). According to manual we should create Manifest node in the registry and specify path to manifest file:

Required. The full path of the deployment manifest for the add-in. The path can be a location on the local computer, a network share (UNC), or a Web server (HTTP).

What is manifest file? Could you please describe me how to create manifest file mo ms office addin? Thank you

Answer 1

The manifest files should be generated automatically by Visual Studio in the output folder:

• the file with .vsto extension is the deployment manifest
• the file with .dll.manifest extension is the application manifest

Edit: I found a tutorial which may help you with the deployment: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/cristib/archive/2010/11/01/deploying-a-vsto-word-2007-add-in-to-all-users-visual-studio-2008-sp1.aspx
