Interop versions

[The God's Awful Truth]

I wrote an application on my dev machine ( XP, Office 2002 ) that uses
the Excel type library 10.0

Now I want to deploy on a machine that runs w2k, Office 2000...that's
type 9.0 right?

How can I deploy?

Hi,

I had the same assumption about Office XP and 2K3 interop assembles and I
was wrong :(.
I don't think that you can that - if you want to use your app, you should
make a second build for Office 2K or at least try to rewrite the code that
initializes and check the version with reflection. Then for all of the compatible
events/delegates etc. you can attach the appropriate event/delegate/etc and
try to find another way for those that doesn't match. I tried that with our
app (it was about 6-9 months ago) and most of it worked. However it was a
small app - in a bigger one, it can get pretty messy :)

Good luck,
Branimir

Oh dear. You will have a lot of trouble! You need to have Office 2002 on the
target machine. Simple as that really. Unless of course you want to try an
access your component via Remoting???

Can I install the Excel/Office Type Library 9.0 on my development
machine ( just the library, not the applications ) and compile there,
then deploy to the w2k/Office 2000 machine ?
