Need to solve above Error but without Installing Microsfot Office. Is there any
dll available for Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.

At my machine, Word 2007 is installed and code is working fine there, on my server machine Microsoft Word is not installed?

Hi,

You need to install Microsoft Word. Without Microsoft Word, your application don't will work.

Yes, but if you add a reference to this DLL file, your application will still throw an exception, because Word isn't installed.

You can't.

Hope this helps.

A "DLL" won't help you.
If you really want to work without Office installation, you can consider using 3rd-party products which do that.

Please see my past answers to related topics:

You will need an office installation to use office interop.
Unfortunately, there is no workaround available for this.

The best you can do is not use interop - this blog[^] gives a solution.
