No "Add ArcGIS Runtime Deployment Manifest" option

HuyHo — Thu, 09 Oct 2014 16:44:02 GMT

After installing the latest .NET SDK, I do not see the option to "Add ArcGIS Runtime Deployment Manifest" option in my VS2012 solution explorer. Anyone else having this issue?

What edition and version of VS2012 are you using? Note that the add-in is not available in the express editions.

I am using Visual Studio Professional 2012.

Visual Studio version looks right. Make sure you right-click on the project name in the Solution Explorer and not on Solution Name. For details refer to Create an ArcGIS Runtime deployment—ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET | ArcGIS for Developers

topic. Let us know if you still can't find it.

...Just to make sure: Did you install the setup, or did you use the Nuget package? (It's unfortunately not available with nuget)

I have tested that. I created a new project from the template, but no luck still.

On my machine, I also have previous version of the SDK installed (10.2.3), and the WPF SDK installed -- any chance that can cause a problem? My Extension and Updates window does not show the ArcGIS extension, is that normal?

I ran the setup.

So is it suggested we use the install, not nuget?

If you require local server or full visual studio integration, then yes.

Hi,

The deployment tool does work in VS2012 but unfortunately only when VS2013 is also installed. We hope to be able to address this limitation in the next release.

Cheers

Thanks Mike. Any way to get around this in the mean time? How do we build our deployment package (other than copying the entire arcgisruntime10.2.4 directory)?

Hi,

Do you have anything preventing you from installing VS2013 as well? (Even VS 2013 Express is sufficient).

Cheers

Mike

I have this same problem but I have Visual Studio 2015 installed. I installed the latest release of the ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET using the setup program I downloaded from ESRI.

What is the trick for VS 2015?

10.2.6 release doesn't support VS2015 since it was released before 2015 got live. We are now working to get 10.2.7 out which will support VS2015. If you need to prepare deployment before that, you can create it by hand but I suggest waiting 10.2.7 if possible.

Re: No "Add ArcGIS Runtime Deployment Manifest" option

StewartMcGuire — Thu, 21 Jan 2016 13:50:50 GMT

That would explain it. I can't wait for 10.2.7 unless you are releasing it today! 🙂

I am building a strictly 32-bit .net application, so I don't think I need to include the local 64-bit client or server. How can I find out what files to include in my InstallShield LE installation?

My application is a Windows Desktop Application with the ESRI stuff in a WPF assembly. I am displaying a locally cached base map plus shape files. I am then generating content on the fly on top of the maps to display points, circles, arcs, etc. and do spatial math.

Have you thought of using Nuget package instead of SDK install? When you build solution with nuget install, it will copy the minimal deployment to the output folder. This should work well if you don't use any extensions.

Have a look https://developers.arcgis.com/net/desktop/guide/deployment.htm and all way on the bottom is some information what you need to do if you want to copy the files manually. Sounds like you don't need the local server folders.

Actually, create new wpf solution, add ArcGIS Runtime from nuget package, build. Move to bin folder and open arcgisruntime10.2.6 folder. Delete client64 folder. Copy arcgisruntime10.2.6 folder to your own application bin/output folder and test.

That should work.

Thanks. I'll try that.
