donet versions required for pia 2003 / 2007

[sgarratt]

i have a c# addin developer for outlook that was using dotnet 1.1 and 2003
pia's. as such it was compatible with ofiice 2003, 2007.
i had a requiremrnt to stop using dotnet 1.1, and it seemed the 2003 PIA's
required 1.1, so i upped to using 2007 pia's. now installer runs on a pc
without dotnet 1.1 ok, but only works with office 2007.
how can i make an addin using dotnet 2.0 only that will still use the 2003
pia's ?

If you are using VS 2005 you most certainly can use Framework 2.0 with
either the Outlook 2003 or Outlook 2007 PIA's. Just make sure Office 2003 is
installed on your VS 2005 development system.

thanks ken.
ok .. im using vs2005 to build my add in..
using 2003 PIA's
installer says only dependency is dotnet 2 when looking at [dependencies] in
installer project but when we go to install it on a pc without 1.1, it
requests 1.1 during install. (and presented link to that is 404, btw)

only thing in the instal project is
my project output (c# project)
ver 11 (2003 pia's)
microsoft.office.core
microsoft.office.interop.outlook (from memory, not there right now)

no other stuff.
so any ideas where the 1.1 requirement comes from ? my assumption has been
2003 PIA's as when i moved to 2007 PIAs this went away. (and now my devl pc
has office 2007 on it)

any exact instructinos on how to use 2003 PIA's and not have a 1.1
requirement ?
i assume im going to have to roll back to office 2003 to use 2003 PIA's also.

thanks

You can install Office 2003 on a VM or uninstall 2007 and reinstall 2003 on
that computer.

I don't know for sure but my guess is there's some manifest file for your
code that's specifying to use Framework 1.1. You'd have to check for
something like that.
