I don't have source code (Private program..), but I saw that at some point does instance = RuntimeHelpers.GetObjectValue(Interaction.CreateObject("Excel.Application"));, that seems to create a COM Object I saw there was a project named "AutomateIt!" that binds that to LibreOffice, that installed makes open Libreoffice instead of error, but doesn't work in all scenarios I think the "solution" is to implement in LibreOffice some like AutomateIT for be able to replace in not open source apps.. ¿Anyone has info about that?
