Question : What is needed to read EXCEL file fom Visual Basic 2008 without Office installed?
On my development PC (Windows 7 prof. with Visual Studio 2008 using VB) i develop an application that opens and reads an Excel file using die reference to Microsoft.Office.Interop.E
xcel . That works fine.
(On the development machine Office 2007 ultimate is installed).
Bringing the program .exe to the target machine under Windows 7 prof. too, everything works fine, but the EXCEL section does not work. What do i have to install to read Excel files without Office installed?
