I’m creating a plug-in for Office 2010 and need to detect on install whether the Office 2010 PIA’s are installed.

I have done this for 2003 and 2007 but cannot find the Component ID’s for 2010 does anyone know what they are?

thanks,
Ed

    Do a search for the component ID for the PIA (primary interop assembly) applicable to the component of office you need from the list below: 

    {EA7564AC-C67D-4868-BE5C-26E4FC2223FF}   Excel
{4153F732-D670-4E44-8AB7-500F2B576BDA}   InfoPath
{1D844339-3DAE-413E-BC13-62D6A52816B2}   Outlook
{EECBA6B8-3A62-44AD-99EB-8666265466F9}   PowerPoint
{3EA123B5-6316-452E-9D51-A489E06E2347}   Visio
{8B74A499-37F8-4DEA-B5A0-D72FC501CEFA}   Word
{957A4EC0-E67B-4E86-A383-6AF7270B216A}   Project
{B2279272-3FD2-434D-B94E-E4E0F8561AC4}   Forms 2.0
{011B9112-EBB1-4A6C-86CB-C2FDC9EA7B0E}   Graph
{7102C98C-EF47-4F04-A227-FE33650BF954}   Smart Tag
{64E2917E-AA13-4CA4-BFFE-EA6EDA3AFCB4}   Office Shared

    E.g. if you are writing a Word add-in, then you only really need to check for the PIA with the GUID {8B74A499-37F8-4DEA-B5A0-D72FC501CEFA}

    From here

    Microsoft have recently released the PIAs for 2010 seperately. Available here

    If you need to support Office 2013, the component Ids are documented here:
