I have inherited an application built using Microsoft Office Information
Bridge Framework 1.6. My task is to make this application work with Office
2010.

I am testing this on a computer with the Office 2010 beta installed,
including .NET programmability support for all features. When I try to
install IBF 1.6, the installer won't complete, giving me the message:

The following prerequisite components cannot be found:
.NET Programmability Support for Microsoft Office Word 2003
.NET Programmability Support for Microsoft Office Excel 2003
.NET Programmability Support for Microsoft Office Outlook 2003
.NET Programmability Support for Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003 SP1
Please install the necessary components and run Microsoft Office Information
Bridge Framework installation again.

However, it appears that if I first install Office 2007 on the computer,
install IBF, and then upgrade to Office 2010, my application does work.

Is IBF supposed to work with Office 2010? If so, is there a way to make the
installer complete on a computer with Office 2010 installed? Or, is this just
an issue with the Office beta that will be resolved in the final release? Or,
will there be a hotfix to IBF to make it work with Office 2010, similar to
how there was a hotfix to make it work with Office 2007?

Thanks,
Amy
