Excel distributables?
 

Hi all....

I have developed a web application that exports some information to Excel.
It works in my development environment because I have Microsoft Office
installed, but in production I don't have it, so the application didn't work
because it could not instantiate Excel.Application class, and in fact, that
class isn't registered in it. I tried by installing Office 2003 web
components but that class isn't registered either.

I know that class is present in EXCEL.EXE file, so, how can I distribute
applications that uses Excel.Application to generate excel files?

Thanks a lot in advance
Jaime

Hi Jaime,

I believe that your users will need to have a copy of Excel.

You can't distribute the Excel program, so each use would have to
have Excel installed on his local machine.

But this is a web server that generates the Excel file... so.. what's the
goal of Office Web Components then? I don't think that I must install Office
application in production environment. Do you know if I can use other
component to generate XLS files?

Web components require that the user have a licensed copy of Office. They
are intended as a convenience - not as a free replacement for Excel.
