Reference in the manifest does not match the identity of the downloaded assembly

Question

Hi,

I am creating an Outlook addin. I tried to run this on a 64 bit machine with 64 bit Outlook 2010.

I am getting the below exception. In the App I am referring to PIA 2007 assembly(12.0). 

************** Exception Text **************
System.Deployment.Application.InvalidDeploymentException: Reference in the manifest does not match the identity of the downloaded assembly MyApp.dll.
   at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Applications.Deployment.ClickOnceAddInDeploymentManager.DownloadAddIn(TimeSpan timeout)
   at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Applications.Deployment.ClickOnceAddInDeploymentManager.InstallAddIn()

Can anybody provide a solution for this?

Hi Jorge,

Thank your for posting in the MSDN Forum.

As you mentioned, you're developing Add-in for Outlook 2010 however in your project you're referencing to earlier version of PIA. I suggest you add reference to the PIA that corresponds to your Office version.

Hope it helps. If there are any new circumstances please feel free to let me know.

Best regards,
Quist
