Manually Packaging Office Dependencies

The Deployment Packaging Wizard (DPW) helps to package all the libraries, resources, and dependencies listed below.

To manually distribute an application that uses ImageGear.Formats.Office namespace, you must include into the distribution package the LibreOffice folder, the LibreOffice Instance Manager (LIM) folder, and the NodeJS folder:

Office Folders

OfficeCore\
- libreoffice\
- lim\
- node\

The Office component needs all of the following Microsoft components to be installed:

Visual C++ CRT 10.0

Visual C++ CRT 12.0

This can be installed with the following merge modules:

Microsoft_VC100_CRT_x86.msm (Windows 32-bit version)
Microsoft_VC100_CRT_x64.msm (Windows 64-bit version)
Microsoft_VC120_CRT_x86.msm (Windows 32-bit version)
Microsoft_VC120_CRT_x64.msm (Windows 64-bit version)

The PDF component must be included in the distribution package as well - see Manually Packaging PDF Dependencies.

To ensure correct functionality, please verify that the bit architecture of the packaged OfficeCore dependencies matches that of ImageGear .NET.

Office Fonts

libreoffice\share\fonts - This folder contains the fonts that are normally included with LibreOffice.

The fonts folder is optional and may be left out of the distribution.
