it

i found that adding dll to the assembly cache in the server would solve the problem is it so should i add the dll in the bin file or what dll should i use.

Suggest you try installing MS Word. HTH.

[sajithkahawatta]

can i solve it without installing ms word. because this is a product server.

[sajithkahawatta]

hey,
i solved problem by adding Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.dll to assembly cache in.net frame work configutation which is on the administrative tool.
thank anyway.

now i got another error,following is the error,

"retriving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {000209FF-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} failed due to the following error : 80040154"

is it a permissin error. if i add a com reference must ms word be instslled.can i do it without install ms office

Hi


Have you ever managed to solve that COM issue? I'm facing the exact same problem!! :-(

Thanks in advance.

[Frinavale]

You need to register the COM Object using the regsvr32 tool.
You also need to make sure that the component is in a directory that your ASPNET user account has permissions to.

[nafigueiredo]

Thanks for your reply.

I've solved it by installing the office suite in the server.

Although that solution does not please me...

[Frinavale]

Even though this solution doesn't please you, it appears that it is the only solution.

Apparently you cannot redistribute the Microsoft Office libraries when deploying your application. This is stated in the clause that allows you to develop applications using Microsoft Office (I actually just discovered this a few minutes ago).

This means that whenever you develop using Microsoft Office components your application will only work if Office has been installed on the system that you are deploying your application to.

In your case, it means that you have to install Office onto the web server.

A word of advice: make sure that you keep Office patched at all times while it is on the web server.

[nafigueiredo]

Thanks for your (very) quick answer.

I'll keep in mind what you've said about keeping Office patched up.

For the purpose (mailmerge e pdf) that i'm using it's going to be a little dificult to make my client have Office installed in his web servers, but that's life... :-P

Thanks, once again
