For a simple local network (share) VS office application and project. Where
should the registered PIA Office interop files be located and referenced from?

Should they be located and referenced from the developers machine
(harddrive) or should they be located and referenced from the network? My
real question is after referencing them properly and compiling does my
program need access to these files on the network to run..- or after Release
compiling are all in dll files are in one happy assembly
 
Steve,

If you keep the PIA on the network, that shouldn't be an issue.
However, you will have to make sure that the COM components are on the local
machine (through a valid installation of Office). The PIA is nothing more
than a shell that references the installed COM components on the local
machine.

Hope this helps.
 
Thank You Nicholas

Right now there in the root directory of the my project folder on the share
which is wrong and very messy. I'll make a PIA subfolder within the share
project folder. and yes that does help
