Hi,
I'm trying to configure an Excel sample written with C# on Visual Studio
2002. I just can't on Windows XP Family Edition but I could on Windows XP
Enterprise Edition. Does it makes sense to you or could there be another
cause?

The program use Office XP via a reference to its COM library: the "Microsoft
Excel 10 Object Library". You can download it from
"ftp://ftp.sybex.com/4320/4320ch05.zip". The project is located under
"Chapeter05/StartExcel". My problem on Windows XP Family Edition is that the
program throws a COMException when invoking
Excel.Application.Workbooks.Add(1).

Hope you can help...
