Hi there! As an option, you can try to move manifest from embedded resource to external file and then delete that file on the post-build step.
Disable manifest question?

Hi,
I need to ignore manifest file while building vsto .exe file. (for Word)
but I don't know how to do this by customizing the Project configuration.
Is it the app.config file? because its syntax is really foreign to me.
How do I achieve this?
Thank you!

2021-09-10T23:19:46.993+00:00 Hi @P a u l ,
do you mean I should click on the resource file?
But I'm not sure how to create that file.
Can you tell me more?

2021-09-10T23:42:40.41+00:00 By default I don't believe Class Library projects include a manifest. Windows & Console apps do, but unless you've added + configured a custom app.manifest file it will use a default template.
If you build your Class Library and then open it in VS "File > Open > File > \bin\,,,{YOUR_LIB}.dll" you shouldn't see a manifest listed. If you do the same for a Console/Windows application you'll see an "RT_MANIFEST" listed though.
