Build exe without manifest question?

Sat Sep 04, 2021 6:03 am

Hi admin,
Long time no see. My question is related to vsto.
Can I build the C# program without the manifest file?
How should I set up the project so that the product information is minimal.


------------------------------
Thanks you!

Hello,

I am not quite sure how to achieve that, but I found the following article from Microsoft:

Manifest Generation in Visual Studio

which I believe you will find useful.

Hope this helps!

Hi,
Thank you.
I found this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/666 ... t-manifest
but it's not clear to me.
can you show me how to remove manifest file via custom app.config? (I'm using vsto .net)

Hello,

Unfortunately, I am no expert in this subject either.

I have tried to havea look right now and I have found the following:

- open your VS solution

- right click on your project --> "Properties" --> "Applicaiton" tab

- under "Icon and manifest" --> "Manifest" --> click on the dropdown button and select "Create application without a manifest"
