Hello,
do you know what libraries i should include with my installer for an application that uses Microsoft Word ?
I have found on the internet a file called "Office 2003 Primary Interop Assemblies" o2003pia.msi.
Should i include this file or is there another approach ?

Thanks

Redistributing the Office 2003 PIAs

The only supported redistribution method is to use the Office 2003 Update: Redistributable Primary Interop Assemblies.
Redistributing the Stdole.dll, Adodb.dll, and Msdatasrc.dll PIAs

Unlike with Microsoft Office XP, the Stdole.dll, Adodb.dll, and Msdatasrc.dll PIAs are included with Microsoft Office 2003, as shown in Table 3. As with all Office 2003 PIAs, the only supported redistribution method is to use the Office 2003 Update: Redistributable Primary Interop Assemblies.

Looks to me,that as long as yopu use the linked redist, it should be OK.

But of course the users must still have Wrod installed.
