Hi everyone,
I have this problem, I developed the program in C#(winform) in my computer, when I try to publish it and install in my computer, it works fine. But when other users with different computer install, the are receiving this error : unable to install or run the application. The application requires that assembly microsoft.office.tools.excel version 8.0.0.0 be installed in the global assembly cache first.

I know that microsoft.office.tools.excel version 8.0.0.0 should be installed in their computers GAC, but the thing that I dont know is, what should I install? should I install .net framework in their computers?

Thank you very much.

Okay, this solved my problem, it seems that other computer's microsoft.office.tools.excel version is v9 or that they don't have that kind of dll. I opened the "applications" tab and included the required dll's as well as prerequisites.

I cleaned, I build, then re-published, the error was gone.

Thank you very much all for your help.
I appreciate it so much!

Without frame work your application will not run so yes install framework first if not installed already. Now about the error which you are getting to fix that just install excel on the client system(there might be another way also but this one is easiest)
