I explored the web (SO, MSDN) for almost 24 hours now. But I could not get a working solution of how to install MS Excel/Office applications on Windows Containers and make it work with a Office.Interop application.
Can anyone help me?

    Hi @Dheeraj ,

    I find a article "When not to deploy to Windows Containers", it points that "Microsoft Office currently does not support containers" and you still need to migrate to the standards VMs.
