Hi,

In my C# .NET application developed using VS 2005, I am automating EXCEL. Office version 2003 has been installed in my machine(windows XP version 2002).

1) To deploy my project is it enough to release my application.exe and interop.Excel.dll (generated by myself using VS) ? will it be compatible with all other versions(at least versions 2003 and above)? Will there be any issues with windows versions NT, XP, Vista?

2) I have downloaded O2003PIA.MSI Should I strictly use this PIA instead of interop.excel.dll ? How to use this PIA? should I release the interop.excel.dllalong with this PIA?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Sanjeevi

1. Yes, yes, yes, no, no.
2. You don't have to, install it, no.

A PIA is required when you call a method, passing one of the office types, in another assembly that wasn't built with your interop.excel.dll assembly. Please use this forum only for questions about 64-bit .NET programming.
