I am creating exe file of windows application using c# that creats a word application. I am targetting framework 2.0 and microsoft.interop.words ver 12. Problem is that client apllication having framework 4.0 and word 2010 installed have microsoft.interop.words ver 14. Is ther any way I can embed above dll into exe file without using external tool or target to correct word dll version based on framework installed ??

  • High time you move ahead, using a 8 year old version of the framework doesn't make much sense anymore. Being forced into this by a conflict with a programmer that isn't stuck like that isn't unusual. This problem otherwise got cleanly solved in .NET 4 (and VS2010) with the Embed Interop Types feature. No interop library required anymore. – Hans Passant Jul 01 '13 at 13:55

In the settings area in you project under references you can reference the dll and set it to copy local, or you could limit you application to only use .NET 2.0

  • Hi Thanks for update.. actually I have already restricted this to Net 2.0 and working fine on system with this configuration. But when i try to run on 4.0 framework having words 2010 > application try to look for microsoft.interop.words ver 12 which is not present as replaced by ver 14. I am suppose to pass only one .exe file to client – skt Jul 02 '13 at 12:25
  • Okay , it's possible to set visual studio to only use a specific version of a dll see [link](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1063459/net-reference-specificversion-true-or-false) – InSane Jul 04 '13 at 08:33
