microsoft.office.interop.word.dll portability

[Jodin]

Hello, I wish to use microsoft.office.interop.word.dll in an application,
but I also need to install it where no office is installed. Is it possible to
deploy this DLL with my application without installing office? If so, do I
need to pay a license? If so, where's the information about that? thank you
very much!

Hi Jodin,

No, it is not. The Microsoft type libraries *require* the Office application
interfaces in order to run. And (with the exception of the Access run-time)
these are not available as redistributables.
