VSTO Deployment Error: The required version of the .NET Framework is not installed on this computer

leave a comment »

I’ve been going crazy to try and solve a problem with a VSTO package I was publishing. Users were receiving the error “The required version of the .NET Framework is not installed on this computer” even though they had the correct .NET Framework version. It turns out that there is a file missing from the .NET Framework 3.5 installation in Windows 7 Beta/RC that causes any packages published from a Windows 7 Beta/RC machine to display this error.

For more details and the workaround read:
