Fantastic idea, but it doesn't work --> Outlook Calendar Adapter for Blogwave 0.3

Hey... I was eager to try it, but it won't run at all. As soon as I click the Select (calendar to publish) button, it throws this error:

File or assembly name Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook or one of its dependencies was not found.

I tried putting another Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.DLL in the Adapters folder, but it doesn't work with your DLL.

Can you provide your complete compiled assembly?

Cheers,

Hmm - the complete compiled assembly is included. The Interop file isn't present in the output (or in my BlogWave Adapters folder when I run it).

What I *think* this means is that you need to install the PIA (Primary Interop Assembly) or possibly ".Net Programmability Support" if using Office 2003, through Add/Remove Programs, Advanced Customization, Outlook.

(Or words to that effect)

For Office XP, there's a standalone download available of the PIA's.

I don't do a ton of Office programming, so might easily be wrong about some or all of that!

Let me know how you go...

Yikes. Sometimes, when you use a thousand machines, you get a little confused-- or in my case, most times (and I don't need the machines). This one didn't have the .NET programmability installed...

It's just good that it worked, and that I'm not too far off!
