MSWord Interop problem VB.NET 2003

[Bill S.]

Hi,

I compile my program and install it on another machine, but I get this error
"File or assembly name interop. Word, or one of its dependencies, was not
found." I can install VB.NET on the other machine and compile it and still
get this error. However, when run the program from the IDE, on this other
machine, it runs fine. Is there something that I need to register? If so,
what? I remove all the references and replace them, which still results in
the same error. (I am "driving" MSWord through my VB.NET program -
obvisously).

Please help.

What version of Word are you using?

If XP (2002) then download the PIAs, extract to the same directory that they
are installed on the development machine (System32 for example) & run the
batch file to register them all.

Office 2003 on the other hand comes with the PIAs.

You can download them from here:
