Can you ignore specific versions of strongly named references?

Question

I am doing some addons on a product which has strongly named references. If I select false in Specific Version, the program complains that the reference is installed already.

Is there any possibility to ignore specific strongly named references?

Answer 1

You cannot ignore it, but you can redirect a request from one version to another version.

See:Redirecting Assembly Versions

The Specific Version property is only applicable for references to assemblies that don't have a strong name.
