-ComObject should not be exposed on systems where it is not supported #4897
Description
Hello everybody, i am encountering an issue.
I need to convert some old XML files (encoded with word 2006 .xml schema) as PDF.
I already used PowerShell and ComObject to do this on a Windows system :
$word = New-Object -ComObject Word.Application
$word.Documents.Open($filename).SaveAs($filename.replace(".xml", ".pdf"), 17)but now I have to automate this process on a Linux system (every XML files are generated onto).
PowerShell on Linux able to me to use these commands but not ComObject due to a missing of api-ms-win-core-com-l1-1-0.dll
Is there any way to load this dll into a Linux system ? If not, is there any other way to do the same ?
Command
$word = New-Object -ComObject Word.ApplicationExpected behavior
Actual behavior
New-Object : Unable to load DLL 'api-ms-win-core-com-l1-1-0.dll': The specified module or one of its dependencies could not be found.
(Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)
