I have written a simple Excel automation add-in using c#. It works
fine on my WinXP PC, but does not work on my MediaCenter PC. The
sympton is that the add-in is shown in the add-in list but all the
functions are not available (i.e. when you open the function help
dialoug, these functions are not displayed, actually even the assembly
is not shown in the category.)
I have tried (1) recompile the code on the MediaCenter, (2) manually
register the code compiled on XP, (3) run a setup program created using
visual studio. None of them worked.
I guess there may be something specific on the MediaCenter machine or
some Excel configuration (e.g. security etc). But I just couldn't
figure it out. Any suggestions and recommendations , or even wildest
guess, are welcomed.
My environment: Visual Studio 2005, Excel 2003
3  1337 
BTW, I have also tried sign my assembly, didn't work either.
My interest,
I would rather point the fingers to the environment. Did you verify if all
support assemblies you are using - or COM objects - are properly installed
and have the same version as you have on the XP machine.
In fact, Media Center it's almost the same Windows (to not say the same) as
the XP. It only has the Media Center application added to the system. As
well as a notepad application.
If you are using VSTO, make sure everything looks the same as your XP
machine.
I hope it helps.

I don't think that is the case entirely. There are other things added
to the system, typically by integrators such as dell. My system came
with way too many extra MCE add-ins. Those add-ins could potentially
introduce incompatibiliti es.
And of course, MCE comes with .NET framework.

I have VB.Net code that opens Excel files and imports data from them. It
works fine for all versions up to 2003 and has for over a year. We have
users updating to Office 2003 and the Excel automation breaks on those
machines. Does coding to the earliest supported version of Excel not apply
once you get to 2003?

Hi,
I am currently creating an instance of Excel using VB.NET Automation.
dim xl as Excel.Application
xl = new Excel.Application
However, how can I have more control over the starting of Excel. For example
I want to specify command line switches, or prevent certain ComAdd-ins from

I want to write an Excel file (.xls format) from some database data.
I don't want to use Excel.exe because of all the automation and security
issues.
Does Microsoft document the .xls file format anywhere?
Is there any c# class that will let me do this?

How controllable from Access VBA is Excel? I'm currently using automation
to dump 2 columns of data into an Excel spreadsheet so that the end user can
create a line graph based on it. Could the line graph be created from
Access as part of the automation process? Is it also possible to rename the
Excel worksheets from Access?
Thanks.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
