    I have couple of applications which generates report with word or excel.. I have used DSC to link my application package to Office package but it doesn't work..

    I did read few forums and made changes to vbe6.dll path to use long name but still its not working..

    Any ideas or workarounds?

    • What does "it doesn't work" mean exactly? What's the behaviour?
    • DSC is designed for middleware (Oracle client, JRE etc), not for linking primary packages such as Office. Potentially you are hitting limitations of DSC

    Basically primary application generates a report and then you get an option to either open it up with word or excel... If you select any one of them it gives out an error (different for different application)...

    So there is no way we can have dependencies between office and other application packages??

    Hello,

    1. Office is not supported as a secondary package. Include Office in the primary package

    2. You could potentially be opening Excel via a COM-object. That's a different topic and the only suggestion I have is to set LOCAL_INTERACTION_ALLOWED = TRUE. If that doesn't resolve the issue, I suggest you open a Microsoft call.
