Error on BeforeStart() of Design Component. Microsoft Excel 2016 is not present.
Hello,
I have a situation that I have to develop an RPA which read the emails from the outlook inbox (Only Outlook 2010 is installed in the machine).
I have visual studio 2015 pro version Update 3.
I install the plugin OpenSpanPluginVS2015Setup.exe (116332_PEGARASP) and I specify Office2010 as version for Office Plugin in the install.
I create a new project and I add the Office 2010 Components with OpenSpan.Office.dll in the toolbox.
I drag and drop the Outlook Component in the automation.
When I try to run the project I have this error:
"Error on BeforeStart() of Design Component.
Microsoft Excel 2016 is not present."
Can anyone help me!!
Thanks.

Examine your RuntimeConfig.xml in %AppData\OpenSpan (and then again in the installation directory in case your %AppData% version is ever deleted it will copy from here).
Look for the line;
<add key="OfficeVersion" value="2016" />
Update that to 2010. That should resolve your issue.

Thank you for your reply,
I desinstall all and i reinstall the plugin.
I find the file RuntimeConfig.xml in the directory %AppData\Roaming\OpenSpan.
I check the file and the value of the key OfficeVersion is 2010.
and it is the same for the RuntimeConfig.xml in the project bin.
I have the same Error.

The install or uninstall will not change this file. If you re-installed and selected the correct version, then the one in Program Files... will be correct. To get this copy into %AppData%, simply delete the copy there and it will copy from Program Files.
