A PIA is what is used to provide an interface between a COM component and
the managed code. The GAC (global assembly cache) is where PIA's are
stored.

Thank you for your reply.
What is Outlook PIA ?
What is GAC ?

Thanks

Open Windows Explorer and navigate to C:\Windows\Assembly. That's the GAC
folder. Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook is the Outlook PIA and Microsoft.
The Office PIA is just "office".

Thank you.
In both old and new machines, in the folder C:\Windows\Assembly, I do see
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook and the version is 11.0.0.0.

In VB.NET, to add the Outlook reference, I go to the COM tab and I select
"Microsoft Outlook 11.0 Object Library", is that correct ?
After that, in the new machine I still can not see "Outlook" when I do "dim
x as new ...."

How can I fix it ?
Thank you.

Aside from adding the PIA reference you have to refer to it one of two ways,
depending on how you set up your code. If you use something like this:

Imports Outlook = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook

You can use statements like this:

Dim mail As Outlook.MailItem

If you don't use an Imports statement then you would declare mail like this:

Dim mail As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MailItem
