Multiple PPT interop references

Hi all:

Several years ago I wrote an application which used Powerpoint Object
Library 11. Now I'd like to update the application for Office 2007 users.

While using Library 12 works fine in the app for users with Office 2007,
those still using Office 2003 receive an error (because, of course, they have
an older version of PPT.)

Is there a way to install both Object Libraries in my app or do I need
create an installer that determines which version of Office and installs the
app containing the proper reference?

TIA for any help.

you don't need to have both object libraries installed, since office 12 will
have backward compatibility with office 11. so if you just install office 12
and creates an installer that will install your application with required pre
requisites it will works. recompile your application, remove old references
of office 11 and put new references of office 12 and it will works
