Redistribution rights of interop assemblies

14 New Member
I have developed an application that creates Excel and Word documents, hence, Interop.Word.dl l and Interop.Excell. dl asre being included into the installation package.

May I redistribute these dll's with my application package?
And how does the Developers Licenses work?

I live in SA and have heard that the redistribution rights may be different.

It looks like you're going to have to include the Redistributable Primary Interop Assemblies into your installation. I would assume that you are allowed to redistribute this package since Microsoft has include "redistributabl e" in the name of this package...but if I were you, I would contact Microsoft to be sure (there is a "contact us" link at the bottom of the download page for the package).

Rossouw, I think you misunderstood.

Why would I want to contact Microsoft about your question when it is your question to ask?

I would contact Microsoft to make sure that you are not going to run into any problems.
