Excel API in .NET

Hi,

Does Excel have to be installed on my machine in order for
me to use the Excel Library in .NET.

I simply want to call some of Excel's functions such as
PRICE and pass in some values and geta result back.

I DO NOT want to use the Excel Application (Workbooks etc)
itself.

Any ideas?

Clive.

To use methods in an API it must reside on the system you are using. So the
answer is yes Excel would have to be installed on your system.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
