FileNotFoundException Program can't find required assemblies

[necro1000]

Hi,

I have created a new project and have used the CrystalReports assemblies and the Microsoft Interop dlls. I copied my program to another PC and when I try to run the methods that use these assemblies I get a 'FileNotFoundException' where the program states that its can't find the assemblies required.

What do I need to do?

Thanks

Are the programs that you are using Interop for installed on the other PC?

[necro1000]

I am using the Interop.Excel dll and the other pc has Office installed aswell. Is there a specific way to install dlls?

[Curtis Rutland]

Hmm, the DLLs should be installed with Office. Perhaps it is failing because Crystal Reports is not installed? I don't know much about Crystal.

OK, are you sure that you have Office 2007 installed on the client PC? Because the dlls are different for each version.

[necro1000]

Hmm i'll check the version in that case.
Thanks

[Bassem]

You may create a setup project and involove the .net dlls in it, at client install instead of copy and past.

[necro1000]

How is that possible bassem?

I install the visual studio common files on the client and it worked though!

Thanks

[Bassem]

No, not all common files, but only the desired .net dlls .
I didn't do it before, but i'm sure of, at setup project you can choose to involve the required .net dlls.
My PC is out of work now, so i can't check it.
