Hi,

I have created a Word Style Extractor to extract formatting styles
from Word document. This application is created using VS 2002 (English
version) and used the Microsoft Office 11.0 Object Library (office.dll
English version).

If the application compiled with the Microsoft Office 11.0 Object
Library (office.dll English version) reference, will the application work
when it is installed to the machines that has Word 2003 (German version)?

Not necessarily. There are differences between the English and German
versions. The only way to find out whether your code trips up on these
differences is to test it on the German version.

Hi,

It seem you're right, Jonathan. I have tried to install the
application in a machine wih the following configuration:

1) Windows XP Professional (English version)
2) Windows XP MUI pack (German language)
3) Office 2003 Professional (English version)
4) Office 2003 MUI pack (German language)

When I installed the application, it has the following error:

Error 1935. An error occured during the installation of assembly
component.

Although I only try on the MUI pack ,not the German copy of the
office. I believe that it has a very high chance that my application will not
work in German version of the Office.

If that is the case, does it mean that I need to compile my
application with the german verions office dlls?

Is there anyway for me to do one compilation and works in both
English Office as well as German Office? Any suggestions?

This isn't necessarily an OFFICE-specific problem. It could also have to
do with the version of .NET installed. You should pursue this in the
Office.developer.Addins newsgroup and possibly a dotnet group where
you're more likely to encounter people with experience installing managed
code COM Addins. They really have almost nothing in common with VBA.
