Compiling applications using MS Office Interop assemblies

Question

I need to build a C#-application that uses the Excel interop assemblies on a dedicated build-computer. Is there any way to do that without installing MS Office on the build-box?

Answer 1

You could use the OpenXMLSDK and use that without having to use the Office binaries on your build box.
