"Old format or invalid type library."

I am having the above error when I open an Excel spread sheet from C#. I
have read that it's because I am currently not in en-US culture. Ok I can
remove the error by switch back to en-US before updating Excel and then
swiching back but I really wanted to put non-English in the Excel spread
sheet that's why I was not in English in the first place.

Does anyone know if a work around has been found yet?

Regards,
John
