Good morning,

I have a .Net 2.0 runtime DLL that I am trying to load from Excel (it’s correct regasm’d). I’ve verified with the Fusion Log Viewer that it is trying to load with the 1.1 runtime instead o 2.0, which explains why it’s failing.

One solution is to put an EXCEL.EXE.config file next to excel that looks like this:

<?xml version='1.0'?>    <configuration>     <startup>      <requiredRuntime version='v2.0.50727' />     </startup> </configuration>

However, I do not have admninistrative priviledges on the machine. What are my alternatives to Make Excel 2002 use the 2.0 runtime instead of 1.1?

Regards, Alan.

  1. The behavior you encounter is a bug in both Office XP and 2003. For a fix, you basically have to install the KB908002 update from Microsoft.
