I have a programme that I wrote, which interacts with Excel workbooks. I wrote this on my current build of VS2010 Enterprise in Windows 7. I am testing the Windows 10 Enterprise evaluation to see what the impact of moving over to Windows 10 would be, and this solution is missing essential namespaces, namely Microsoft.Office.Core and Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.
I can't remember whether those namespaces were created by installing Office, but if that's the case, I have a problem. Office is installed on my WIndows 7 PC, and I can't afford to uninstall and re-install on the Windows 10 PC, just to see if these namespaces become available. This is going to trigger multiple attempted activations, which I presume would not be good.
So I am just trying to get any insight, as to whether this issue is down to a difference in VS editions, or whether it is in fact related to the installation of Office. I did try publishing (from VS2010 in Windows 7) and installing my application into Windows 10, but it failed to run... no doubt because of these missing references. So I'm presuming that the required assemblies don't get included in the published installation files.
Can anyone offer any help?
P.s. Trying to find the right category for this question was tricky, so I apologise if this is the wrong place. I didn't know if it was Visual Studio General because it was related to References or C# Language specific, because that's the language I use.
