Out of Date Dependencies Dialog Box (Package and Deployment Wizard)

See Also

Lists the files in your project for which dependency information is out of date. The wizard determines if dependency information is out of date by comparing the version information in the .dep file to the version information in the component.

Note   The version information in the dependent file must be an exact match. Either older or newer versions are considered out of date.

Outdated dependency information can cause your application to fail to work correctly after installation. You can continue, using the dependency information even though it is out of date, or you can resolve the out of date dependency information in one of several ways:

• If the indicated file(s) comes from a third party, contact that party for updated dependency (.dep) files.
  
  
• If the indicated file(s) is a Visual Basic component that you created, restart the Package and Deployment Wizard, select the project file for this component, and choose the Dependency File option on the Package Type screen. Continue through all the steps to create the dependency file, then restart the Package and Deployment Wizard, and try packaging the current project again.

For more information about packaging and deploying your applications, see Solution Distribution.

OK
