Hey All,

I downloaded and installed the Office XP PIAs but when I reference them from
within VS2005, I get a yellow explanation point with no information beside
the reference.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

TC

Is this on a machine running Office 2002?

Hey Ken,

Yes. I have Office XP Pro installed.

Regards,

Todd

Well, I'm no PIA expert but it sounds like the PIA didn't install in the GAC
or didn't install correctly. Do the objects in the PIA show up in the Object
Browser? What happens if you try to compile using the PIA references?

Nope and Nope ;-)

I guess that I should try to install manually, right?

See if the information about the Office 2002 PIA at
http://www.microeye.com/resources/res_outlookvsnet.htm helps at all. I
realize it's for an earlier version of VS than you're using but it might
contain some clues for you.

I tried reinstalling the PIAs and it did not work. However, when I
attempted it manually, I recieved the following error on the command line:

'gacutil' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable
program or batch file.

For some reason these are not installing on my machine. I have WinXp Pro
SP2 and Office XP Pro.

OK. I just tried adding a reference from within VS2003 and I did not
receive any yellow exclamation.

It appears that it may be a VS2005 / Office XP PIA issue.

Anyone got any ideas or advice?

Thanks,

TC
