If "bleeding edge" includes .NET then it has been around since 2002. Windows
XP and above will not function without .NET. I thought you had mentioned you
were running W2K which may be the issue here.
The library I created to allow SAS to create Excel files is probably
compiled under the latest version of .NET (3.5) which is why it may not work
on your machine. If that is the case, let me know and I will see if I can
make it backwards compatible to .NET 2.0 which is in place for all shops
running Windows XP SP2. Most shops should be on SP2 due to the security
issues it corrects.

What are you trying to do?
If you want to automate MS Office tasks I would consider other
alternatives. I have used DDE and VBSCRIPT to automate tasks in both
WORD and EXCEL. I prefer VBSCRIPT to DDE. Others insist that newer
more bleeding edge techniques are needed but these don't run on my
computer.
DDE does work and there are many examples on SAS-L.
