targeting framework 1.1 from Outlook Addin

Hi,

I have an Outlook addin component which was build with VS2003, so it uses framework 1.1, now I need to install framework 2.0 in the same machine and I have problems with this addin because Outlook uses framework 2.0.

is there any way to targeting framework 1.1 programatically (because I can not find the way to load a valid config file for this addin....)

Thanks,

Mauricio.

    You should be able to create a manifest file for the Outlook .EXE and create an assembly dependency on the .NET 1.1 framework ...

    Have a look at this article on MSDN. It talks about migrating Word and Excel solutions to 2.0, but the same ideas should apply to Outlook.

    Ok,

    so the solution for this case is createing an OUTLOOL.EXE.CONFIG file with the tags mentioned earlier in this post

    I'll test it and confirm later, thanks!

    if a manifest file will work, is not better solution use a config file for outlook.exe using the next tag:

    <startup>

    <supportedRuntime version="v1.1.4322"/>

    <supportedRuntime version="v1.0.3705"/>

    </startup>

    thanks,

    Mauricio.
