Office Interop issue on Plugin Maintenance

[SBarnes]

It appears that if you are working on a machine without Microsoft Office(Outlook) installed and open a plugin such as Inventory Import Debtor Specific Prices you'll get an error about the interop reference not being found, which makes sense.

My question is does that plugin actually need it as I would have though not and will it faill to load on a machine without office?

No it does not need it - remove the reference.

References are added automatically when a plugin is created by adding a reference to JiwaApplication.dll and pulling in all of it's dependencies. So there are by default a lot of unnecessary references.
