I've got Office 2003 (fully patched etc..)

I simply want to add a reference to word in my .NET application.

I started a new project, Add Reference and browsed to: MicroSoft Word 11.0 Object Library and clicked OK.

I've got 2 warnings:

Cannot find wrapper assembly for type library "Word"
The referenced component "Word" could not be found

Everything seems to be ok (i.e. I can open Word by itself and it's installed in the standard directory).

If I go to Project - Properties - References, it says that it can't find the reference specified.

I don't know how to solve this problem. I've been searching but i must be doing something wrong. Can someone help me please?

Thanks,

edit Actually, just out of interest i tried to add an excel reference and it's not working either so it's a general problem rather than specific to Word.
