Excel

[Rajeev]

I have added reference to Excel in my application, and the framework
has created the interop. Now when i install the application using
and .msi installer, excel.exe is also installed to the client
application folder. Though I guess it is not used. Qs:
Is this a Microsoft EULA infringement issue?
How to avoid it
How to tell the application to look for the client's Excel library
(client machine has MS Office installed)

Any help would be much appreciated.

Re: Excel

You should not add a reference to excel directly you should add a reference
to the Excel Primary Interop Assembly.
