In Visual Studio I would need to: add the Namesspaces Microsoft.Office.Interop and Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint  =>This I do in Initialise Part of my new VBO under Code options get Reference to Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.dll => Here I have not succeded so far. I always got the message that this dll was not found Can you help me how to do the reference in Blue Prism?

Maybe try the full path to the DLL, eg C:\Program Files....Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.dll

Thank you for hint, although it was not easy to find the path it worked with the following: C:\Windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint\15.0.0.0__71e9bce111e9429c\Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.dll Also office libray was required (got error messages from Blue Prism telling me to add it) which I found under C:\Windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL\office\15.0.0.0__71e9bce111e9429c\OFFICE.DLL Probably the reason is that on our clients 2 office versions are installed (2007 and 2010…)   Thanks again!
