I'm trying to create a clickonce deployment for my .NET Framework (4.8) application in VS2022.
The application is using some COM components using a side-by-side configuration (having several entries in my app.manifest file: some 3rd-party components and one reference to "Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls" 6.0.
Building and running the application works and the side-by-side components can be used.
As soon as I try publishing the app using clickonce, suddenly the app won't build anymore because I get MSB3113 errors (File so-and-so not found) for all the assembly references in my application manifest.
Does anyone know what's going on and how you can deploy such an application using ClickOnce?
Edit: Added more detail information. It's a .NET Framework (4.8) application. The app.manifest contains this dependency (among others)
<dependency>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls" version="6.0.0.0" processorArchitecture="*" publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df" language="*" />
</dependentAssembly>
</dependency>
When I start publishing, git shows that the .csproj entry <GenerateManifests> gets changed from false to true.
The build process then fails with this error:
2>------ Erstellen gestartet: Projekt: foobar, Konfiguration: Release x86 ------
2>C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Enterprise\MSBuild\Current\Bin\amd64\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets(4164,5): error MSB3113: Die Datei "Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=*, PublicKeyToken=6595b64144ccf1df, ProcessorArchitecture=*, Type=win32" wurde nicht gefunden.
I get the same error for every other dependency I have in my app.manifest and for which all the neccessary files are being copied to the output folder during a regular build.
