Check if Excel is installed? 1

[snuv]

Is there an easy way, using VB.NET, to check if excel is installed

"If it could have gone wrong earlier and it didn't, it ultimately would have been beneficial for it to have." : Murphy's Ultimate Corollary

 

[TipGiver]

ExcelApp = GetObject(, "Excel.Application")

If ExcelApp Is Nothing Then
ExcelApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")

If ExcelApp Is Nothing Then
' error with excel ****
End If
End If



**** : Any error trying to find it, or it is not installed.

You could also try...

try
dim app = new Excel.application
catch
msgbox("No excel")
exit sub
end try
