Added the mentioned NuGet package, but temporarily I got these different errors
The "LoadFromBytes" parameter is not supported by the "CreateExcelAddIn" task loaded from assembly: ExcelDna.AddIn.Tasks, Version=1.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=f225e9659857edbe from the path: xxx\exceldna.addin\1.8.0\tools\net452\ExcelDna.AddIn.Tasks.dll. Verify that the parameter exists on the task, the <UsingTask> points to the correct assembly, and it is a settable public instance property.
The "CreateExcelAddIn" task could not be initialized with its input parameters.
Since the error message said version "1.8.0" I believe there was just some cache issue, from me playing around with the different versions, and a re-build solved the issue.
So thanks, yes adding the
ExcelDna.Interop NuGet package did solve the problem.
