Note

This article applies to Visual Studio 2017. If you're looking for the latest Visual Studio documentation, see Visual Studio documentation. We recommend upgrading to the latest version of Visual Studio. Download it here

A deployment manifest is an XML file that describes the deployment settings of an Office solution and identifies the current application version.

The Office development in Visual Studio uses the ClickOnce deployment manifest schema defined in the ClickOnce deployment manifest reference.

Remarks

The deployment manifest file for Office solutions, identifies the current version and other deployment settings. It references the application manifest, and describes the current version of the solution and all files within in the solution.

File name syntax

The name of a deployment manifest file must end with the .vsto extension. Although it is a standard ClickOnce deployment manifest, the extension differs to enable the Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime to handle the file.

Example

The following code example illustrates a deployment manifest for a Visual Studio Tools for Office solution.
