Hi Team,

What is the purpose of Aspose.Cells.msi file, Can’t we copy paste the aspose.cells.dll and use it?

Hi,


Well, we do provide two versions each time we release our official product (Aspose.Cells) i.e.
1) MSI Installer
2) Dlls Version

Yes, you may pick Dlls version downloading form the site and directly use it in your project without any problem. You may get the Dlls version here:
http://www.aspose.com/community/files/51/.net-components/aspose.cells-for-.net/entry396824.aspx


The Dlls version only provides Dlls for the component(s) where as when you install Aspose.Cells for .NET using its MSI installer, the demos, help documentation files and other files are also copied with the product's Dlls.

thank you.

Hi,

Thanks for your question.

Yes, you can copy/paste Aspose.Cells dll and use it.

The purpose of msi file is to create necessary directories on your hard drive e.g demos and it also registers the dll in GAC.

Also, it registers the type libraries into your registry so that Aspose.Cells dll can also be used by unmannaged code like COM, VB6, C/C++ etc.

Hi,

Thanks for the response… i am using the dlls version in SSIS package. Its working fine in Local machine, But when i moved to Server it is giving error that
<span style=“font-size: 10pt; font-family: “Arial”,“sans-serif”;”>Could not load file
or assembly ‘Aspose.Cells, Version=5.3.3.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=716fcc553a201e56’ or one of its dependencies. As per one of your colleague suggestion i have placed the dll (C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727) and attached the reference still it is not working.

Hi,


It looks like an issue with registering the Aspose.Cells.Dll on to your Server GAC. We recommend you to try installing with MSI installer of the latest version v7.3.0 and let us know your feedback.
