i was creating this excel workbook reader module so i referenced the excel com interop assembly which resulted in a failing build in our build server minutes after i commit.

the problem is because the said assembly is in my machine's global assembly cache, however, it is not existing in the build server's gac since it does not have visual studio 2003 in it.  as a result, i downloaded the sdk and added the assemblies in our "lib" folder of the project and add it as file reference to my project.

this means doing a local build does not necessary entail a successful build for the build server, hehehe.
