Hi everyone,
I have this problem, I developed the program in C#(winform) in my computer, when I try to publish it and install in my computer, it works fine. But when other users with different computer install, the are receiving this error : unable to install or run the application. The application requires that assembly microsoft.office.tools.excel version 8.0.0.0 be installed in the glibal assembly cache first.

I know that microsoft.office.tools.excel version 8.0.0.0 should be installed in their computers GAC, but the thing that I dont know is, what should I install? should I install .net framework in their computers?

Thank you very much.

While publishing you should add the necessary frameworks and assemblies, so add the assembly for excel in Applications tab while publishing..

Add microsoft.office.tools.excel DLL file

My advice is not to use publish, Use new project->other project types-> setup and deployment. I will be quiet clear and easy. Try this. Add the necessary assemblies and framework. Add framework using Prerequisites tab.

I couldn't trace the error. Right click on the solution explorer of your project and ADD-> New project->other project types-> setup and deployment and continue the same process that you followed in Publish

Hi samueal,
Okay, this solved my problem, it seems that other computer's microsoft.office.tools.excel version is v9 or that they dont have that kind of dll. I opened the "applications" tab and included the required dll's as well as prerequisites.

I cleaned, I build, then re-published, the error was gone.

Thank you very much for your help.
I appreciate it so much!
