Cannot install VSTO in VS.Net2005

Hi All !

I would like just to get the chance to see, how to develop an Outlook add-in
with VS.Net2005. I just downloaded the en_office_2003_VSTO.iso file, but if I
start the setup, I'll get only the message [~similar]:

"Setup cannot detect the required version of Visual Studio .Net on this
computer. Before you install this product, you must install a matching
regional language version of Visual Studio .Net 2003 or Visual Basic .Net
2003 Standard"

[Silly messagebox:The text cannot be copied by ctrl-c ... !! :-( ]

I am running "Windows 2003 Server R2 x64 Edition", en, "Outlook 2003", en,
"Visual Studio .Net 2005".

I even checked to set my language while setup from German to English, but
this does not help.

Can someone give me a tip/hint, what's wrong here??

VS has no Office related project templates.

Thanks and
best regards,

Hi !

Not to understand, why there are different versions and what my
"original" attempted one was really ..... I finally found the right one,
so it looks. But is is/was something like a nightmare. I had
additionally to install the whole Office package, add the SP1, ... uff.

Finally, what remains is:

Office Dependency Warning

You have successfully installed Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for the
Microsoft Office System but do not have the necessary Office components
installed to create a Microsoft Office 2003 project. To create a
Microsoft Office 2003 project, you must install an edition of Micosoft
Office 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1) that supports Visual Studio Tools for
Office, as well as the necessary Office 2003 primary interop assemblies.
The following primary interop assemblies are missing from your computer:
Graph.

I am right to think, that there is everything ok but something with
Graph? In this case, I can live with it. The Office Templates are there!

Thanks,
Manfred

Hi All !

Was my message read by someone at MS ?? I asked this via a registered
MSDN-Universal account, which should get support within some time. I saw
this NOT working for several other attempts also, so my question.

It's a bit annoying :-(

Thanks and
best regards,
Manfred

Did you follow the procedures here:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/managed/

to register your alias?

If not, you need to do that so the Microsoft folks monitor your posts.
If you did that, it's possible that they saw you answer your own question
within 12 hours, and did not think an additional reply to indicate that you
need to use VSTO 2005 with VS 2005 was necessary.

If you're sure your alias is registered, and you're not getting any
responses from Microsoft reps, you might want to enquire here:

Hello !

Thanks a lot!

I had that problem always!!!!!! I followed your link and ask, how I am
registered. There is not one place [so far I could found it], where my
alias is listed.

I KNOW, that I was registered and if I log in, I see my old threads [all
without any response :-( ].

Do I have to create this alis each time, I log on? There is also another
hint, that I can see my alias on the subscriber downloads. But it is not
there, but my downloads are working fine.

It could be really made easy!

Thanks,
Manfred

I agree it could be easier, but once you've registered an alias, all posts
using that alias (posts made *after* the alias is registered) should be
recognized and responded to by MS reps as long as your MSDN subscription is
valid.
In other words, no, you should not have to register the alias for each post.

Cannot install VSTO / error related to Office 2003 SP1 Merlin
8/9/2006 2:46:58 AM
I get a similar installation problem with VSTO2005, but related to Office
2003 SP1:

I have installed VS2005 Professional and Office 2003 with SP2 on a machine,
and the Office 2003 primary interop assemblies certainly work in VS2005 (when
developing without using VSTO). Now I tried to install VSTO 2005 from an
MSDN-ISO, but VSTO setup fails stating that Office 2003 with SP1 is not
present (what is partly correct, as Office SP2 is installed).

Are there any solutions to this issue (apart from completely reinstaling
everything)?

Best regards

Hi !

From my experience, you are using the wrong source! I was also using a
downloaded .iso file, but this was about SOME MB, while the right setup
has had several HUNDREDs, check this. This and settings up Office fully,
solved the problem for me.

Hope, this helps!
Best regards,
Manfred

Thank you for this hint.. I checked the source (it seems to be the correct
one) and also did a full install of Office 2003 and VS2005Pro on another
machine - but still I get the same error message. BTW: I am using a German
localized version of all products involved. Could the problem be related to
Office 2003 SP2??? What exactly does the VSTO install check for upon
installtation?

Hi !

Sorry, I don't know. I never install localized versions ;-)

Best regards,
