Microsoft.Office.Interop error even after installing PIAs

Question

We have a large project which builds fine on several machines. I am in the process of installing a development system on a new machine and have a problem building because the Microsoft.Office.Interop namespace is missing. I have Office 2010 installed and have installed the PIAs. I have removed/re-added the Office references in the project - they still seem to have the yellow triangle. Still no luck.

Could there be anything I haven't tried yet?

Sounds like you're doing something wrong while adding the reference. You could see to these similar threads if they are of help:
