2008 Installed on Vista "Problem accessing Excel: Exitiing"

I installed Xcelsius 2008 onto my new laptop that has Vista on it and it worked fine until I loaded the SP1 Hot Fix 1.
Now when I open the application I get an error stating "Problem accessing Excel: Exitiing" then the app just closes.
Please help.
Thank you

The UAC setting was the main issue I believe. I was getting many other issues also so I uninstalled and reinstalled everything very methodically with great results.
Thanks to all who posted.

Xcelsius displays Problem accessing excel: closing message

Hi expert,
I installed Xcelsius 2008 Engage. After that I tried to execute the program. A "Problem accessing excel: closing" message is displayed and after looking similar issues in SDN, and SAP notes... I tried following actions, as suggested::
Restart computer
To check that no MS Offices processes are being executed
No outlook is running
I uninstalled some Office 2007 extra packages
I installed Xcelsius SP1 Fix packs 1, 2 and 3.
After fix packs installation, the error message is still appearing, but now a new message also appears: "Failed to set localized string".
Does anyone have an idea about what I have to do to solve this annoying problem? I can not use Xcelsius!
There is one thing I have to check: that Excel doesn't have installed add-ins. Does anyone know if SAP Business Explorer tools, in special Excel Analyzer, can be considered as an Excel add-in? can this SAP product interfere in Xcelsius excecution, causing the message I get?
Thank you very much!

Bobby,
I have none of your mentioned software, except .xla files.
These are .xla files, from SAP GUI I have installed and from SAP Business Explorer. Can theses .xla files interfere in Xcelsius? Should I uninstall this software which is by now my Daily working tools?
BExAnalyzer.xla
CRMSalesPlanning.xla
EXPTOOWS.XLA
HTML.XLAM
MAPDataLayer.xla
MAPDialogLayer.xla
sapbex.xla
sapbex0.xla
sapbexc.xla
sapbexc350.xla
sapbexc700.xla
sapbexp.xla
sapbexs.xla
sap_rpw.xla
SEM_Installation_Check.xla
I will also try to install this Xcelsius in a Virtual Machine...
Thank you very much

Problem accessing Excel

Hello!
I'm doing my first steps into Xcelsius world.
But every time I try to import my excel sheets ... I get this error message "Problem accessing Excel : Exiting" and xcelsius closes.
I really don't understand what is wrong. I've read many other messages but I haven't found a solution yet.
Thanks

Hi,
Following information might be helpful for resolving the issue.
This problem has to do with a conflict with the automation libraries that Xcelsius uses to interact with MS Excel. All the re-installation attempts have failed because there is likely a 3rd party process or application that is affecting these automation libraries and preventing Xcelsius from communicating with Excel.
This is usually the result of having another application installed that also interacts with Excel. This can also come from a 3rd party Office add-in that integrates with Excel.
Check your Excel add-ins and see if anything is listed there. If you see something listed that does not seem to be a default Excel add-in. Youu2019ll need to uninstall it to prevent it from conflicting with Xcelsius. Let me know your results.

"Problem accessing excel" Error

Hi All,
I have just downloaded the trial version for Xcelsius Engage 2008. Whenver I try to launch it, I am getting an error "Problem accessing excel: exiting". I am using windows XP and excel 2007. I have checked in the windows task manager and there is no rogue Excel.exe task running in the background. Can someone please let me know what I need to do. I am very new to BO, so I have no idea on how it works.
Thanks very much,
Pratik

Unfortunately we had this issue too and had to reinstall both Xcelsius Engage 2008 and Microsoft Excel 2007.
We suspected something to do with the registry keys, but it works fine now.
Sorry for the all the work but I hope it works.

"Problem Accessing Excel: Exiing"

I am currently using the trial version of Xcelsius Present. My goal is to present a business case to my management team for purchasing the product. however I am getting an error stating that There is a problem accessing Excel. Then the application shuts down. Any thoughts as to what the isue is and how to resolve it? I only have 22 days left on my trail version. I would like to get something out together well within that timeframe..
Any feedback is apprecaited...
Thank you.

Hi David.
1.) Go to the Task Manager and kill the excel process.
2.) Restart Xcelsius.
Xcelsius integrates and excel instance. Sometimes the excel instance is not closed properly, so you have to kill the instance manually.
Kind Regards

Accessing excel documents fom KM

Hi all
I have a problem accessing excel documents in Hebrew from the KM.
If the document's name length is more then 23 characters (in Hebrew),I get a "This page cannot be displayed" error.
It happens only if I work with Excel 2002 (XP) version.
Excel 2003 works fine,but I cannot upgrade my ~1500 workstations now.
Last year we had almost the same problem - like this:
<a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/thread?forumID=42&threadID=45589&messageID=459760#459760">https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/thread?forumID=42&threadID=45589&messageID=459760#459760</a>
The problem was solved by Microsoft fix :
KB Article Number(s): 918692
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Alexander

Hi Alexander,
you could use the GUID instead of the displayname, it is unique, fixed in length and does not depend on language settings.
I guess you will have to write a custom property handler for that, but maybe this can be done through configuration only ...
That could be a workaround for your problem ...

Error to install Xcelsius 2008 on Windows vista. Error 1935.

I have a big problem, I need install Xcelsius 2008 on Windows vista, but when I install the software apper the nex message:
Error 1935 Error al instalar el ensamblado.
"Microsoft.VC80.ATL,type ="Win32",version= "8.0.50727.762",pubicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",processorArchitecture="x86"". Consulte Ayude y soporte tecnico para obtener mas informacion.

From a brief Google search, I determined this error message is from Vista. It is not being produced by Xcelsius. You will need to do your own search and determine what is causing Vista to report this error. You can also try installing using instructions for Xcelsius installation on Vista posted elsewhere in these forums.

Problems accessing Time Capsule on windows Vista

I have an iMac running Leopard and a laptop running Vista Home Edition. I'm having some problems accessing Time Capsule from the Vista machine. everytime I click to access the drive, a message appears in the menu bar of the window that says (not responding). I've tried leaving it. I've even changed my entire wireless network to bypass the original g router (belkin) to use TC, so I now have TC as my router, Belkin just setup as a wired broadband modem but I still get the same problem. The mac seems fine, although I have had quite a few issues with drop outs.
both machines have the latest version of Airport Utility and Bonjour.
The laptop is a recent purchase to replace a dead XP machine, this worked fine and I managed to get stuff backed up just before it died, thankgod.
Any help appreciated.

No problem seeing Time Capsule with iMac, Dell desktop XP Home, Dell notebook XP Pro, and Fusion with XP Pro. All installed according to the installation guide. Installed AirPort Utility on all machines and updated firmware to 7.3.1. To see the other machines, make sure file sharing is on. Firewall on the PCs may need to be turned off. The printer plugged into the USB port also worked with all the XP systems and the iMac with a few missing features on iMac (I am assuming different driver issues). BTW, logging onto the created network and accessing the Time Capsule HD are separate. If you've entered different passwords for the HD and wireless networking when setting up Time Capsule initially (which I did through the iMac first), you'll need to enter them separately with the XP machines. You could also try resetting Time Capsule. Seems to work for others.

I have Microsoft Office 2008 and only use Word and Excel. It takes 980 mb. I am considering replacing it with Apple iWorks 2013. If I do, can I delete Office, and still access and modify my Word and Excel documents?

Just adding to what CSound has said.
Pages and Numbers will change Word and Excel documents when they open and close them.
Sometimes the change is subtle and sometimes not. With the latest versions of Pages and Numbers, more likely not.
So don't think you are going to work with MsOffice files without problems. You will always have something not right and in some cases really annoyingly not right. Like having all the text from Pages appear bold in MsWord, or page breaks in the wrong place or some objects and graphics not appearing in one or the other.
If working between different Operating Systems and MsOffice files, I also recommend LibreOffice. It opens and saves nearly all file formats. Unfortunately not .pages or numbers. Yet. The folks at LibreOffice are busy adding to it all the time, and making sure it works in all Operating systems, Mac, Windows and Linux and they are promising iOS as well soon.

Got help fixing my youtube problem, now that is working. In the process of making the fix, lost my aol set up. Re installed it, but cannot access the icon. How do i get my AOL back?

Got help fixing my youtube problem, now that is working. In the process of making the fix, lost my aol set up. Re installed it, but cannot access the icon. How do i get my AOL back?

If it's an application, it should be in the Applications folder. If in doubt, double click on the hardrive icon to open it up, then press Command+F (find) and in the window that comes up for what you want to find, type in AOL and it should appear. You can either drag it to the Dock for easy access or make an alias of that, and drag that alias to the Dock. Oh, and just so's you know, this forum is for Desktop macs only. We may be able to answer your question about a MacBook Pro. Same kind of animal, but different breeds.

Problems with R4890 T2DIG driver install in Vista

Hello,
I'm having problems installing drivers for a MSI R4890 T2DIG card. I'm trying this on a fresh install of Vista Ultimate.
Initially, I was installing all the drivers (Express Setup) from the CD and was getting a kernel dump when the HDMI Audio drivers were being installed. A reboot of the computer resulted in a mostly black screen with streaks of color near the center just after the windows logo appears - accompanied by a bad humming noise coming from the case! After finding no way to resolve this problem (can't uninstall in safe-mode), I had to re-install Vista.... After creating a Complete PC Backup image, I tried installing just the ATI driver (which I downloaded from ATI's site). The result was a successful install, but subsequent reboot results in same black screen, streaks of color and bad humming sound.
Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Equium A100-027 PSAAQ - having problems accessing Internet with WLan

Just installed WXP on my Equium A100-027 (PSAAQ) as Vista did not like. Now am having problems accessing Internet. What drivers do I need to download and how do I install them?
Thanks.

Hi,
I would suggest you to check the driver site of toshiba
-> http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
search for your machine and download the wlan drivers. If you dont know which one you need just download all of them and install em, one of that drivers MUST work. ;)

Why does JMF 2.1.1e install on Vista and not on XP

I understand that JMF is not supported by Sun. Then why does it install on Vista with no issue but won't install on any of my XP (SP3) systems. All are P4 and above with one being a tablet PC. Each has proven capable of handling 4 live USB camera feeds simultaneously as well as running other things.
My problem is too often repeated in this forum.
On XP I start the install, the files are extracted, Setup.exe, wowexec.exe, and ntvdm.exe are started and that is all that happens. When I check the process list, they are all running (taking no CPU time). If I end the process tree starting with the distribution exe, they all end.
However, if I don't do that and just shutdown, I find that wowexec has to be forced to end and that leaves the 16bit subsystem unstable.
I have tried, no virus scan, running in W2K and. W95 compatibility, terminating everything in the process list I feel comfortable terminating and combinations of several and all of the above but to no avail.
Yet when I installed the exact same distribution package on my Vista systems, all went just fine.
I have even tried hand-installing JMF with little luck.
Oh yes, and I even tried the install and test on VMWare virtual machine Xp and Vista systems with the exact same results. So this is clearly systemic.
I should add that none of the systems are clones but each was individually installed and maintained with different applications installed.
To test, I move the same powered USB hub and 4 attached cameras between the systems. On Vista they are found just fine. On the XP systems, they don't exist as far as Java is concerned. Which is strange as 3 other , non-Java programs, see them without issue on all the systems.
You might ask, well why play with Java. The answer is simple. All of the programs I speak of are proprietary and I need a program I can modify to fit my needs and I have found a skeleton one to work with.
But unless I can get JMF installed on XP, that plan, JMF. and Java will be gone. I simply don't have time for this foollishness.
Regards,
Jim

Could you elaborate on using JWS to install JMF from Vista to XP?Unpack them on Vista. Then you have direct access to the Jars and natives that are used. Deploy those Jars and natives from a server using JWS - that should work for both Vista and XP.
If you go to the logical extremes and also expand the Linux/Unix version, and add the natives to the server/launch, it will also be able to support those systems. The download can be 'partitioned' so that Windows only gets the Windows natives, Linux/Unix gets the Linux/Unix natives. Mac boxes get the core Java JMF only - no natives.
Using JWS, you get to avoid that horrendous 'must reboot' prompt at the end of the native installer. The one time I tested it, I found that to be unnecessary. But there is no way to disable the prompt, AFAIK.
I have no experience with the facility you mention.Deploying using JWS is a big area. For a good overview, see [Deploying a Java Web Start Application|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/deployment/webstart/deploying.html].
Note that any app. that uses natives must be digitally signed and request all-permissions in the launch file, in order to work. For a self signed certificate, this is a little tricky to design in a build file, then easy to 'stamp out' at build time.
I have some demos, complete with source and build file, that do some of the things mentioned (most notably digitally signing apps.). If you have further questions on webstart, ask more specific questions & I might be able to help out.

Error accessing Excel - Exiting

Hai,
I get this error most often, "Error accessing Excel - Exiting" , and then I manually kill the EXCEL.exe process in the taskbar, I want to permanently get rid of this problem, is there a setting in MS Excel or the Xcelsius 2008 that I can make so the Excel closes down first and then the Xcelsius is shut down manually.
al times daily.
This error really takes up lot of developer's time by closing and reopening the Xcelsius sever
Thank you in advance.
Vijay.

I feel your pain.
Assuming this involves the latest patch levels for Xcelsius and MS Office (includes all respective Fix Packs and Service Packs for both Xcelsius and MSO), it may be possible to get around the error by doing the following:
1. Close Xcelsius and all MS Office applications completely (saving whatever work you need to save)
2. Open the Task Manager and kill all MS Office and Xcelsius related processes that are running, if any
3. Launch MS Excel
4. Excel may ask you which spreadsheet you want to recover. Humor it and either perform a recovery or just opt to skip recovery, until a spreadsheet is opened normally and the XLS recovery sidebar is gone.
5. Close Excel and check again to ensure that no MS Office related or Xcelsius processes are still running
6. Launch Xcelsius
If this doesn't work, try rebooting and launching Xcelsius before running MS Office.
Keep in mind that any time you try to use Xcelsius with any MS Office app running (yes, even Outlook sometimes) you may be playing with fire so be sure to save and back up your XLF projects frequently. This has been my experience, in any case.
Again, this is just what I have personally experienced and observed as a fellow end user.
