Assembly Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word, Version=15.0.0.0 uses Microsoft.Vbe.Interop, Version=15.0.0.0

Question

I just downloaded MS Visual Studio 2010 solution and get that error.

Error 1 Assembly 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' uses 'Microsoft.Vbe.Interop, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' which has a higher version than referenced assembly 'Microsoft.Vbe.Interop, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' c:\PROJECTS\UHelper\Assemblies\Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.dll AcceptService.Web

I have MS Office 2010 installed. I have reference to local copy of Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.dll within project.

Any clue how to fix it?

Answer 1

First I got this page that I assumed should be useful. But it was not. :( Anyway I put that link so it CAN be useful for someone else.

Second point was to use advice that I found here

So I navigated to http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=18249 And installed Microsoft Office 2010 Primary Interop Assemblies Bootstrapper Package.

And finally I deleted Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.dll reference in the project and added another one

Visual Studio installs these copies of PIAs to the following locations:

On the development computer: %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Visual Studio Tools for Office\PIA\Office14 (or %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Visual Studio Tools for Office\PIA\Office14 on 64-bit operating systems)

%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Visual Studio Tools for Office\PIA\Office15 (or %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Visual Studio Tools for Office\PIA\Office15 on 64-bit operating systems)

And yeah!!! Error gone! :)
