tl;dr:
How do I find the origin of a dependency in a Visual Studio Installer Project?
I’ve created a Visual Studio Installer Project in VS2022 to package my Unity game as an .msi
Visual Studio automatically creates a list of dependencies, including 2 instances of netstandard.dll:
However, one of these is to version 2.0 of .Net Standard
resulting in a game-breaking exception:
TypeLoadException: Could not resolve type with token 010001f1 from
typeref (expected class 'System.Collections.Generic.CollectionExtensions'
in assembly 'netstandard, Version=2.0.0.0
When I exclude this library directly in the Solution Explorer, it resolves the issue, but I don’t want to have to do that manually.
How do I find the component or library that is triggering this dependency so that I can resolve it without importing the redundant dll?
