Can't find Excel Interop assembly
-
Hi, I am using Visual Studio 2005 C++/CLI. I have also posted this on the Visual Studio IDE message board. I have been developing an application on my PC at my desk. This application uses the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel assembly that I included by adding a new reference in the project properties page by clicking the 'Add New Reference' button and selecting it from a list. I then copied the project to another machine that has Visual Studio 2005 installed on it and the compiler choked on the Excel reference. I went to add the reference to the project properties page but could not find it in the pre-defined list. I went back to my original machine and could not find Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel in the pre-defined list either. Shouldn't this assembly be in the pre-defined list or is it defined differently? How do I get this assembly in the Visual Studio 2005 reference list? I did it once and I'm almost positive it was in the pre-defined list. What happened to it? Thanks Buck
