I have both Office 2003 and 2007 on my desktop.

I am tryin to force VS 2005 to use the 2003 version bit keeps getting a
refernce to 2007

Specifically:

When I select Excel 11.0 object library it references:

C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC\Microsoft.Office.Interop.E xcel\12.0.0.0__71e9bce111e9429c\Microsoft.Office.I nterop.Excel.dll

The runtime machine for this app only has office 2003 so the dll is not
found and an exception results

George,

did you get to the bottom of this problem? I have precisely the same issue
myself. I notice you posted this a month ago. Has nobody come up with a
resolution to the problem?

thanks. That's not really an option for me so I'm hoping that someone will
come up with a way round it.

I've posted the question on the MSDN forum, here's the link if you're
interested.

I received this solution to the problem from the Microsoft Communities Team...

This binding redirect policy is configured in a XML file which is actually
the publisher policy configuration.
You can open and edit this file using the following command in your
console window like this:
notepad.exe
C:\windows\assembly\GAC\Policy.11.0.Microsoft.Offi ce.Interop.Excel\12.0.0.0__71e9bce111e9429c\Policy .11.0.Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.config

After you opened the file, you can directly edit the binding policy, just
suit your self.

remove the row that reads

<bindingRedirect oldVersion="11.0.0.0"
newVersion="12.0.0.0"></bindingRedirect>
