If you are using Windows 7 RC and VSTO you better read this

Saurabh blogs about how to work around an error you get if you published a VSTO solution using VS2008

Had this same issue publishing a custom (VSTO 3.0) Excel Add-In from VS2008 on Windows 7 Beta.

Thanks for the workaround!

I was having to publish from VS2008 on an XP machine to eliminate that "missing .Net Framework 3.5.1" error on install.

FYI: Issue with Windows 7 RC and VSTO…

The VSTO team has a post which details an issue that you might see when trying to deploy a VSTO solution

I triedd to use this fix but was unsuccessful. The file is NOT missing on my Windows 7 RC1 machine, but it is only 8K. The same file on Windows Server 2008 is 24K so I tried to replace the 8K version by the 24K version but found that the file was protected extremely well. Even when I rebooted in safe mode I could not change it!!

I installed the Windows XP virtual sustem on Windows XP RC1 and tried to publish my VSTO addin from there. The publish seemed to work ok but the installed addin did not work properly. It failed to recognose my Custom Form Regions and displayed the Custom Tasks using the standard Task form. I then tried to install Windows Server 2008 in the RC1 VM but that would not install. I couls go back to Windws 7 BETA but that expires very soon!

Sorry hadn't seen the comments section in a while. I have updated info on replacing the file when its

protected. The 24k file size is actually the correct .Net 3.5 SP1 file.

Win 7 RTM should not have this problem :)

Thanks
