Problem when trying to open sample project from the 101

[ryodoan]

I recently got Visual Studio 2005 and was browseing the sample projects when one caught my eye, "WorkingWithChartsinExcel". I go to open it, and get this error:

So, I opened the readme, and found that I needed to have these things installed:

• Visual Studio 2005
• Microsoft Excel 2003
• Adventure Works sample database

I have the first two, and I downloaded the third from the supplied link and made sure it was installed in the correct location, and.... I still have the same error.

I put this in the VB.net forum because its a VB.net project, but if this should have gone in the Visual studio forum i am sorry.

It's from the VSTO samples so I would guess you need VSTO installed. Visual Studio Tools for Office http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/products/vsto/default.aspx
