If you've read my previous post How to Deploy a VSTO Word Template Application you would probably be thinking cool, nothing else to it. But...
If you were like me and were trying to install it into an environment that had absolutely none of the pre-requisites then I'm guess you would be getting an exception that went along the lines of "The common language runtime could not be loaded by ... "
What the heck does this mean? If you were like me, you'd be scouring the web and coming up with pages that reference the pages you've already looked at. Useless!
It wasn't until a mate at Readify, Jake Ginnivan, that if the box doesn't have the .net framework then it can't even read the VSTO file to know what to do.
The solution: the user needs to run the Setup.exe manually! Once this is done, the user can then go and open up the office document (mine was a word template). Now that the pre-requisite assemblies are there the VSTO app can now get installed. Hallelujah!
I hope this has helped.
Enjoy!
