PIA's Installed but still receiving interop error

Question

I am trying to use the Microsoft.Office.Interop.xxxxxxx namespace but Visual Studio 2010 is not providing an option for \"interop\". I have the PIA\'s installed for office12

Answer 1

You didn't pick the correct reference. Use "Microsoft Excel 14.0 Object Library" instead.

Note that VS2010 supports the Embed Interop Types property for an assembly reference. You really want to use that for an Office app, no PIA required. It is automatically set to True.
