想要通过使用microsoft.office.interop将pptx或docx转换为pdf，我应该包括哪些文件以进行分发？

Question

Here is a simple question.

1. I made a VB.Net (framework4.0) software for converting pptx and docx files to PDF files.

2. It uses Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint and Word for converting files.

3. I want to distribute this software to a closed group.

4. But, when people run the program, it does not work. It crashes.

5. I think that I didn't include proper DLL files. (I already included Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.dll files)

plus, I want to make this program executable on a computer without Microsoft Office. Is it possible to use the Office.Interop on a computer w/o Office?

So, what DLL files should I include for distribution?

or is there any other problem?

Thanks a lot!!

As Prahlad notes, you cannot use Office.Interop without having Office installed. Office.Interop is just the bridge for your .Net types to consume Office's COM types
