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!

    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.

    If you open the project properties, under the Application tab at the bottom there's a Manifest field. If you set that to "Create application without a manifest" it should skip including the manifest file.
