Cannot sign .net assembly referencing Interop.OWC10

I have an assembly that references Interop.OWC10 and I need to sign this
assembly. However Visual Studio says that Interop.OWC10 doesn't have a
strong name and my assembly, therefore cannot be compiled using a signature.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

TIA//

You should sign the interop assembly. One link which shows you how to do
this:

Ah ... actually from the readding the article I determined that I needed to
set my project's "Wrapper Assembly Key File" property. Never used that
before.

Thanks a ton//
