<vstoRuntime> Element (Office Development in Visual Studio)

 

The vstoRuntime element of the vstav3 namespace contains a supported version of the Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime for a specific Office solution.

<vstoRuntime  
    release  
    version  
    supportUrl />  

The vstoRuntime element is required and is in the vstav3 namespace. If an Office solution supports two versions of the Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime, there are two vstoRuntime elements in the application manifest.

The vstoRuntime element has the following attributes.

AttributeDescription
releaseRequired. The release version of the Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime.
versionRequired. Version number of the Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime.
supportUrlOptional. Link to the installation location of the Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime.

vstoRuntime has no elements.

The following code example illustrates the vstoRuntime element in an application manifest for an Office solution deployed by using ClickOnce. This code example is part of a larger example provided in Application Manifests for Office Solutions.
