The call was rejected by the called

Question

My application worked fine on my 64 bit win machine.

I tried to run the winforms visual studio 2008.NET C # application on another machine with a 64-bit win, and now I get this error:

I was wondering if anyone else has this problem?

What does the error mean?

Answer 1

Here is a quick and dirty solution, add thread.sleep after creating the excel object.

Something like that:

 var app = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel(); Thread.Sleep(2000);
