PRB: Primary Interop Assembly (PIA) install occurs the first time that you open a Microsoft Office document that is referenced by a managed code extension (823986)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Office Excel 2003
- Microsoft Office Word 2003
- Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System version 2003
SYMPTOMSIf your Microsoft Word document or your Microsoft Excel
workbook uses a managed code extension that you created by using Microsoft
Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System, a delay may occur the
first time that you open the document or the workbook. You may also receive a
dialog box that prompts you for your Microsoft Office 2003 installation source
the first time that you open the document or the workbook.CAUSEA delay may occur when you open the Word document or the
Excel workbook if a Primary Interop Assembly (PIA) that is referenced by the
managed code extension is set to Installed on First Use or to Install on Demand in Microsoft Office 2003 Setup. When Excel or Word demand-loads a
PIA, there is no wait pointer or progress indicator during the install process.
Before the PIA install on demand, Office Setup may prompt you for the location
of your Office 2003 install source if Office Setup cannot locate your install
source when you open the document or the workbook.STATUS This
behavior is by design.REFERENCES
