Is there ANY way to make it work without th MS Office installed at live server? I'm using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word ver. 12. / ASP 3.5 / C# and the error I'm getting is at live server

Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' or one of its dependencies.

I have shared server so i have no permission to install office so any other way for same?

Using interop for Office is generally seen as a "no-no" in ASP.NET. You should rather use the OpenXML libraries provided by Microsoft. You can read more about it here[^]

Quote:
Microsoft does not currently recommend, and does not support, Automation of Microsoft Office applications from any unattended, non-interactive client application or component (including ASP, ASP.NET, DCOM, and NT Services), because Office may exhibit unstable behavior and/or deadlock when Office is run in this environment.

Microsoft does not reccomend using automation in ASP.NET: MS Support[^]
