OWC deployment

[AAbraham]

I have a OWC chart in my application that runs on any pc that has VS .net
installed but not on clients that only have the framework. I've tried to put
all the dlls in the project directory and distribute them with the executable
but it does not help. I've also installed the office xp PIAs in GAC and
registered. Still not working. The error message says : Application has
generated an exception that could not be handled.

Not sure why that is the case. They really have nothing to do with each
other.

but it does not help.

Don't do that. You are in direct violation of the licensing agreement for
the components use. See the black book for the full reasons.

The error message says : Application has

generated an exception that could not be handled.

I suspect your components are not correctly registered. You will need to
install the office web components on any pc that needs to use your
application. And No, you can't give the dll's to the user, you have to
explicitly point them to the office web components download site on
microsoft. See the black book for more details
