I have a VSTO-Add-In for Outlook and need the information when i have to provide the VSTO-Runtime with the installation of the Add-In.
I have already found this article describing the prerequisites but I could construct cases which do not fit this description:
The article says "If Office 2010 Service Pack 1 (version 14, build 6029) or any newer Office version is installed, Office will take care of configuring the VSTO runtime."
=> This is telling me I do not need to provide the VSTO-Runtime in this case.
In the case that I have installed Office 2010 and manually install the ServicePack 2 I have the buildversion 7015 in my Outlook which is a greater version than 6029.
My installer recognizes this and does not provide the VSTO-Runtime.
But on starting Outlook after the installation I get an error saying, the .vsto-file could not be read.
This error only disappears after installing the VSTO-Runtime. Then the AddIn works fine.
What are the real cases in which i need to provide the VSTO-Runtime?
if you're using windows installer, just add it as prerequisite, which will create a Setup.exe, and add it as Launch Condition in your installer to show an error message, that Setup.exe should be run, or just make the Setup.exe run always, it will launch your .msi
have a look here - I guess this is also valid for Office 2013 .. just use the right components IDs !
I am trying to deploy a VB.Net application using the built in Click Once.
When a User tries to install the application they receive the following error message.

The machines they are trying to install to are Windows XP SP3 so I cant understand why I am getting this error.
Any help would be appreciated.
You should try the following steps:
Compile your program and copy the whole bin\Release folder (output directory) to the target system. Does your program run if it's not distributed via ClickOnce?
Build a simple "Hello World!" program and distribute it via ClickOnce. Can this basic app be installed on the target system by running the ClickOnce installer?
Even though this should not be a problem on any system running a later Version of Windows than Win2k, have your tried to just install Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2.8 SP1?
By doing so, you should be able to determine if your issue is either ClickOnce- or Application-related.
I have a small windows forms application created in Visual Studio 2012 that uses ReportViewer version 11.0.0.0.
The application target framework is .NET 4.0 and its deployment method is ClickOnce
On my PC it installs but on client machines, intallation fails with error
the application requires that assembly microsoft.reportviewer.processingObjectModel version 11.0.0.0 be installed in the global assembly cache first.
On the client machines, i have installed
.NET 4.0
ReportViewer 2010
Microsoft Report Viewer 2012 Runtime CTP
SQLSYSCLRTYPES.msi
in the project application files settings, i have set microsoft.reportviewer.processingObjectModel publish status to Include(Auto), in the references i have also set its Copy Local property to True.
what am i missing?
I have even followed the instructions here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms251723.aspx
Here is (arguably) the best way to deal with this issue... without downloading or installing any extras. This worked with Visual Studio 2012 (Ultimate)
Goto the main project within your solution(default/statup project)
Right Click and Click Properties / Select "Your Project">> Project>> Properties
Click on "Publish" Tab to see publishing options
Goto "Install Mode and Settings">> Click "Application Files" and Dialog opens
Go down and look for the items set with "Publish Status" > Prerequisite
You will find ReportViewer and Several Other Files set to Prerequisite
Change all the Publish Statuses to "Include" in the drop down
I know you only need the ReportViewer Only but this will eliminate other potential problems I came across
Now all the required files will be added to your installation setup good to go!
For interest, you can change include a desktop icon under "Install Mode and Settings">>Options>Mainfests>Create Desktop Short Cut
you are missing the ProcessingObjectModel.dll file find the version 11.0.0.0 in gac assembly C:\windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Microsoft.ReportViewer.ProcessingObjectModel and add it to bin dir.
We had the same issue, but the thing is, its automatically adding it to the references (microsoft.reportviewer.processingObjectModel), if u EXCLUDE it from the publishing properties(properties->publish->application files), It might fix it.
A better option would be to install the Microsoft Report Viewer 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package at:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=6610
Your users will need to have this package installed as well. If you just copy and paste a MS DLL, you'll have to redeploy it every time you upgrade your application.
If you are using WinForms, to me it seems pointless to worry about installing this DLL in the GAC when it's being used for a report viewer that is deployed via click-once. This isn't a big file and you're probably using it as a report viewer control on a form, nothing more. One possible solution is to do the following:
In Visual Studio, go to the reference in your project for the assembly Microsoft.ReportViewer.ProcessingObjectModeland locate the file path to the folder for that assembly. Mine was version 12 and so my file path was C:\windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Microsoft.ReportViewer.ProcessingObjectModel\12.0.0.0__89845dcd8080cc91
Copy the file path of the folder the assembly is in and remove the reference from your project (right click the reference and select "Remove").
Win + R to get a 'Run' prompt. Paste that folder path in there and execute to jump right into the folder of that DLL.
Find the DLL, it should be the only file in that folder, and copy it to your Visual Studio project folder. You shouldn't care about 100kb of extra space on your drive consumed, and I don't think this DLL is one you'll need to update.
Back in Visual Studio, right click References, Add Reference, and browse for that DLL in your project folder. After adding the reference, make sure that the Copy Local property is set to true.
Clean and rebuild, test the application on your local computer, than Deploy your ClickOnce again.
Now when users install your application with ClickOnce, the reference will not refer to the GAC at all and there won't be any need to rely on the prerequisite check/installation process for this DLL because you have included it directly in your published application.
It depends on the setup type you are using but basically, it means the required library is missing from your server or computer. To enable the application to download from the server (In a client-server architecture), you need to include the file(s) in the project.
Go to your application option and locate the "Publish" tab
Click on "Application files"
In the ensuing dialog, select to include all the libraries you want included (or that are required to run your application on the client machine and click "Ok")
Build your application and then publish to the server.
I hope this works for you, it worked for me in Visual Studio 2010 Professional
In case of Windows 10 it won't work installing Microsoft Report Viewer 2010 SP1 as describe by user1236560. First you need to install Prerequisites for SQL Server Management Objects (SQLSysClrTypes.msi) need to choose between x86 and x64 depending on your hardware. You could find it on: http://origin.www.ms.akadns.net/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=16BC778C-357B-46E9-8356-D575903AC831
After that you need to install MICROSOFT® REPORT VIEWER 2012 RUNTIME that you could find on: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35747
Both of this package will have to be installed.
I encountered this error
System Update Required
Unable to install or run the application. The application requires that assembly
Microsoft.ReportViewer.ProcessingObjectModel Version 11.0.0.0 be installed in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) first.
Please contact your system administrator.
this error popped out when installing an application made from Visual Studio
meaning I am one of the client
I have Visual Studio 2015 and a Microsoft SQL Server 2014 and didn't know about Crystal Reports and other related stuff to it. I do check the version of my .NET Framework which is version 4.6.2.
I have several extension files and distributable files downloaded and yet doesn't solve my problem.
I do not know if I solve the problem generally but I do become successful in installing the application
so I downloaded and installed the ff:
SAP Crystal Report for Visual Studio 2015(latest, just to make sure)
Microsoft System CLR Types for Microsoft SQL Server 2012
Microsoft Report Viewer 2012 Runtime.
the problem took me about 2 days to trouble shoot, Be careful on downloading and installing extension files and distributed files cause it will munch some space too.
The Best answer is:

It reduced all of my head aches.
I have created a VSTO application using office 2005 & visual studio 2005 professional.I found there a setup folder.While i am running the *.exe file in client machine,it giving me error."An add-in could not be found or could not be loaded."
What is the architecture of the client machine?
If Vista: do you have the UAC (Security Dialog) disabled?
Also check in the Registry if the Path to the Manifest File is correct.
Is it loading the right Framework Version?
Are you using the Publish feature, or are you trying to create your own MSI?
You need to do some debugging on your side to have this sorted maybe:
Try to uninstall VSTO SE completely and install it again.
Create a new VSTO add-in without any additional code and run it.
Evaluate what happens and perform actions accordingly
I just, quite anxiously, downloaded the spankin new WCF REST starter kit. The installed failed. Anyone else had this problem?
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/cc950529.aspx
Edit: The install fails during the template installation. The VS JIT debugger window pops up. Nothing else is running the PC, I am running as an admin on XP Pro, and the error occurs from either the EXE or the MSI.
Yes, it just failed for me too. Got a warning about replacing an existing file during the template install, then a hard crash after I told it to continue.
EDIT: Just tried again - it worked. Did 3 things different:
Closed all running VS2008 SP1 instances
Read the install guide closer and chose to run setup.exe instead of the msi, and did "Run As Administrator"
Didn't close the MSI installer until the delayed template installer had completed.
Here's the Install Guide:
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
Windows Vista OR Windows Server 2008 OR Windows Server 2003
Visual Studio 2008 SP1
INSTALL AND USAGE STEPS:
Before installing, remember to uninstall any versions you have installed on the machine (see the Uninstall section below for steps to uninstall).
Run the setup.exe in administrator mode (right click on setup.exe and select 'Run as Administrator')
The install process will launch a visual studio installer. Remember to click through the visual studio installer to install the templates. NOTE: You may miss the vsi that is launched, so be sure to finish both the vsi and setup.exe installs to ensure that the whole install process is complete.
While running the vsi, you will get a prompt, which you can safely accept to continue.
Once installed, build the Microsoft.ServiceModel.web project installed on your machine.
You need to reference the Microsoft.ServiceModel.Web.dll assembly from the template generated projects, as well as from the samples. Please remember to verify this while using your templates and projects.
Note that you may also use a project reference instead.
There is a solution that includes all the samples provided in the "WCF REST Starter Kit\Samples\WCF REST Starter Kit Samples" location. This gives you a way to easily try out all the samples from one place.
