Ok,

I try to give some more information. On my development machine I have
.NET 1.1, .NET 2.0 and .NET 3.0 installed. On this machine I use OO 2.3 and all development is done using OO 2.3. I use OO to create documents on demand and on my machine everything is working as expected.

Original on the target machine was only .NET 2.0 but I also installed .NET 1.1 on that machine. Installed was also OO 2.2. I've several machines like this in our network ... and all have the same behaviour.

If I deploy my application I've learned, that I have to deliver my
versions of (based on OO 2.3) the following four libraries:

* cli_basetypes.dll (1.0.7.0), * cli_cppuhelper.dll (1.0.10.0), * cli_types.dll (1.1.10.0), * cli_ure.dll (1.0.10.0)

I have a very simple deployment - I put all my files into a single
directory and add these four libraries to this directory.


If I do NOT add these libraries, the .NET (e.g.) gets a request to bind version 1.1.10.0 of cli_types.dll and it fails, because it has only version 1.1.7.0 (the version from from OO 2.2) and there are no rebinding instructions to rebind all the stuff to version x (based on OO 2.3). The result is a simple error message on the target machine:

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Die Datei oder Assembly cli_types, 
Version=1.1.10.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=ce2cb7e279207b9e oder eine 
Abhängigkeit davon wurde nicht gefunden. Das System kann die angegebene Datei 
nicht finden.
Dateiname: cli_types, Version=1.1.10.0, Culture=neutral, 
PublicKeyToken=ce2cb7e279207b9e
  bei OpenOffice.TextDocHelper..ctor(Boolean hiddenFlag)

=====================================================================

If I add these libraries the .NET framework searches in the executing
directory and find my deployed versions of these dll's and seems to bind them but errors come later on the target machine:

System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException: Eine externe Komponente hat eine 
Ausnahme ausgelöst.

  bei OpenOffice.TextDocHelper..ctor(Boolean hiddenFlag) in 
D:\programmierung\ES2005-1\OpenOfficeConnection\OpenOfficeConnection\TextDocHelper.cs:Zeile
 25.

(does not matter if admin or normal user)
=====================================================================
If I add the OpenOffice 2.2 installation path (...\program) to PATH I get a different error on the target machine:

unoidl.com.sun.star.uno.RuntimeException: 
[map_to_uno():[]com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue] conversion failed
[map_to_uno():unoidl.com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue.Value [map_to_uno():any] 
could not convert type!

D:\programmierung\ES2005-1\OpenOfficeConnection\OpenOfficeConnection\TextDocHelper.cs:Zeile

=====================================================================
Then I installed OO 2.3 on the target machine (changed the PATH variable to the
original content - this means: NO OO 2.3 in the path) and get the same XComponentContext exception as mentioned above.
=====================================================================

Then I change the PATH variable to point to the OO 2.3 directory (..\program\)
all is working.

=====================================================================

Following my experience on some other machines here I have to make sure, that
ALL machines have OO 2.3 and PATH must include the OO2.3 program directory
and then the stuff may work. Another problem here is, that it is not possible
to retrieve the installation path of OO 2.3 when working as a normal user -
the security issues with that simple deployment do not allow this.

After all I would say, that the whole deployment for .NET based system 
concerning
OpenOffice simply does not work.

But perhaps you have some hints to make this work ...
