VSTO deployment

[Michael]

I've created a VSTO solution that includes a Telerik control. When compiling the solution Visual Studio produces a *.manifest file that contains a reference to Telerik.Windows.Controls:

<dependency>
  <dependentAssembly dependencyType="preRequisite" allowDelayedBinding="true">
    <assemblyIdentity name="Telerik.Windows.Controls" version="2010.2.812.40" publicKeyToken="5803CFA389C90CE7" language="neutral" processorArchitecture="msil" />
  </dependentAssembly>
</dependency>

Additionally several language dependent assemblies are being referenced:

    <dependentAssembly dependencyType="install" allowDelayedBinding="true" codebase="de\Telerik.Windows.Controls.resources.dll" size="12288">
    <dependentAssembly dependencyType="install" allowDelayedBinding="true" codebase="es\Telerik.Windows.Controls.resources.dll" size="12288">
...

When double clicking on the *.vsto-file to install the addin the installer requires all languages (de,es,it, nl, tr) to be present in the installation directory.

Is there a way to limit this requirement to one certain language? I only want to support german and do not want to deploy the other languages.

Thanks,
Michael

Hello Michael,

There should be not problem to reduce the number of language-dependent assemblies. Have you tried modifying the manifest to include the German-specific assemblies only?

The manifest file is automatically generated by Visual Studio. After editing the manifest file's signature is broken.

Hi Michael,

Maybe Visual Studio scans all languages that are available and automatically includes all languages. Could you please try to remove the other language-specific Telerik folders to see if Visual Studio would only include the remaining one.

Hi Milan,

removing the folders solved the issue.

Thanks,
