Could not load the file or assembly Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel

I have deployed a website on Virtual Machine with Windows server 2008 r2,iis 7 and .net framework 3.5.1 installed.

I have been getting the following error.

========================================

Server Error in '/' Application.

Configuration Error

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.5466; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.5456

========================================================= The application has features where excel reports are generated. I have not installed Office so i have been having trouble getting the website started.

  1. I have tried many things like installing .net framework 1.1 redistributable package.
  2. I have also installed Office Open XML as i read it somewhere that the problem might get solved.

Please help me with this. My website is developed using vs 2005 and i do not have vs 2005 installed on the Virtual machine that i have mentioned above.

I have not installed Office

You need to install MS Office (or at least Excel) on the machine executing your Excel handling code. It won't magically work without Excel.
