You shouldn't need a manifest.  I don't generate one for add-ins.

Hi,

The source of that message is written in :

1) Right click the project in Solution Explore.

2) Left click the 'Property'.

3) Left click the 'Compile' tab.

4) Left click the 'Build event' button.

5) You can see it in the 'Build event' window.

This error occurs when mt.exe is not installed. You should install Windows SDK or such like it.

Hello Jjstr8,

The addins works fine. I just wanted to avoid this error message.

Thanks

Just delete that part of your post-build event.  Assuming you're building a single DLL with all resources embedded, you wouldn't need a manifest.
