MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / May 2004Microsoft Word Development on Web Server
I am creating an application that creates Microsoft Word Documents on the fly for the user. I have developed this as a web page, and tested it on my machine. It works fine, but when I publish the page to the server, it won't work. I have Microsoft Office 2003 installed on my machine, but no Office products installed on the server. My assumption was that the deployment package I created would package all the necessary dependencies to allow the project to run on the server. It doesn't seem to be the case. I am getting errors that certain classid's aren't registered. Usually this means that the Office isn't installed (which is true in this case of course). My question is; Is it necessary to install Microsoft Office 2003 on the server, or can I just package the necessary DLL's Thank you in advance for your assistance Jon Ebersole Hi Jon Ebersole I'm not sure you can do what you want, I've never tried it. But if you can you'll obviously need Office installed. Just packaging the DLLs wont do it as they wont be correctly registered, plus you need a license for Office for the Server. Office requires a user context (account). The first time you use Office you need to start it manually so that it is initialised correctly.
