Changing reference to [Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.dll]

Hi @Haifisch

Could you try this method and see if it will solve your needs?

This behaviour is an outcome of the dependency management introduced since 2018.3. Basically, the only way to load an assembly into the project is to have an activity that will use said dependency.

There might be a workaround (although not tested), in which you add the custom activity to the project by dragging it into the sequence and then saving and restarting the project. It might keep it afterwards even after you delete said activity.
(please let us know if such workaround worked for you :slight_smile: )

We will definitely look for ways to improve this behaviour with future UI improvements in upcoming releases.
