A Required COM Add-in Program XL Reporter has not been loaded and Prohibits Microsoft Excel from running.
I facing this Error on Server & One Client Also

This is the SAP solution to this error, try all steps and it should be resolved.
When we open XL Reporter we get an error
message "A required COM add-in program for XL Reporter has not been loaded
and prohibits Microsoft Excel from running." when trying to open a report
definition.
SOLUTION FOR THE PROBLEM:
Reason and Prerequisites
You need to be an administrator on the local machine to add COM add-ins.
Solution
The user should be added as a member of the administrator role on the
local computer the first time you start Excel from XL Reporter the first
time so that the COM addin are registered, then you can remove the user
from the administrator group again.
Manually Loading the XL Reporter Excel COM Add-In
Symptom
If you install Microsoft Office after installing the XL Reporter
application or use another Windows user than the one you used when
installing XL Reporter, you can get an error message.
Reason and Prerequisites
The reason for this is that the report writer COM Add-in has not been
loaded, which prohibits Microsoft Excel from running.
Solution
1. Start Microsoft Excel. If you already have the COM Add-ins command on
the Tools menu, go to step 7.
2. In the Tools menu, choose Customize.
This opens the Customize window.
3. Choose the Commands tab and select Tools from the Categories pane on
the left.

button.
6. To close the Customize window, choose Close.
7. On the Tools menu, choose the new COM Add-ins option.

    I have 2 users running Excel 2007 that can't run XL reporter.  They get the message 'a required COM add-in program for XL Reporter has not been loaded'.  I have instructions for Excel 2003, but not for 2007.  Does anyone know how to resolve this for Excel 2007?

    Gordon,
    I have instructions to get the IXXLReporter.dll file in the installation area, but 2007 has completely different layout. I can't find where to go???  Can you please give me the procedure?

  • XL reporter error-requried COM add-in program for XL reporter has not ben l

    Dear All,

    "A requried COM add-in program for XL reporter has not been Loded and prohibuit Microsoft Excel from running.

    Hi,
    try to use the solution from the SAP note 893307:
    XLR - Activation of Other Microsoft Excel Add-Ins
    Symptom
    When Microsoft Excel is launched from within the XL Reporter application, other add-ins selected in Microsoft Excel's Add-Ins window are not automatically loaded into Microsoft Excel upon start.
    Other terms
    XLR, Business One, Addins, deactivated
    Reason and Prerequisites
    When Microsoft Excel is started through Automation (COM), Add-ins are not loaded by default. This is by design and XL Reporter follows this behaviour.
    The following is a workaround solution that is avalible in SAP Add-On XL Reporter 2004 SP02 patch 2 and SAP Add-On XL Reporter 2005 SP00 patch 1 and subsequent releases.
    Solution
    If you need to have other add-ins automatically loaded upon start, a workaround solution is now possible:
    In the Microsoft Registry Editor on your client machine, change the following settings in your system registry: in the registry tree underHKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/iLytix/XLReporter/Settings/SBOOEM, add a key with the following name: StartExcelAddins. The key can have two values: the value, 1, which activates other add-ins upon start, and the default value, 0, which leaves the other add-ins inactivated.
    Incorrectly editing the registry may damage your system. System registry changes should therefore only be performed by an advanced user who is prepared to both edit and restore the registry. For details about the system registry, please refer to Microsoft Registry Editors help system
    if not solve yet, just let me know

  • Run big report in PDF hangs though the PDF file was created in server

    When running Oracle reports6i big master-details-details report(220 pages) in PDF format thru report server CGI on Netscape Enterprise Web server, it hangs. But the pdf file was created when checking in the server and is good when it's viewed directly using IE. Also checked the http://domain_name:8083/cgi-bin/reportcgi/showjobs?server=repsrv, the Job Status was 'FINISHED'.
    The HTTP_error_Log in the server is:
    [17/Feb/2004:13:31:42] failure (28995): for host 63.237.37.70 trying to POST /cgi-bin/reportcgi, cgieng_scan_headers reports: the CGI program /usr/netscape/elecprod/cgi-bin/reportcgi did not produce a valid header (read failed, error is Resource temporarily unavailable).
    Please help as our users demand it urgently.
    Thanks a lot.

    1) This bug734197 is fixed in version 3.0.5.13.0, which means it should be available in 6i (the version you are using) also. But from the bug description I see that it is reproduced with Reports 6.0.5.28.0 version also. If your reports 6i version is higher than this, it may contain this fix. Best thing is to apply the latest patch. The patches should be available in metalink (metalink.oracle.com) .
    2) For troubleshooting purposes run the report in html/rtf and see whether it times out. ( just to see whether
    this is a PDF specific issue)
    3) Disable acrobat web integration (in Adobe acrobat settings) and try . This will prevent Acrobat reader from opening the pdf automatically and instead will show a dialog to save the pdf report ( There are some IE - Adobe issues which are not reports bugs).
    4) There were some threads some time back which had this problem with long running reports and PDF. Finally it turned out to be webserver timeout problems. Pls see ( this is for 9i servlet and Apache webserver, but for 6i also it could be similar)
    Re: Long running reports end successfully - present s "page can not be foun
    5) If these does not work and if you are not able to make further progress, I suggest you to get in touch with Oracle Support (if you have a support contract) to solve this issue. [ If the possibility is that the bug you are mentioning is not pushed forward to 6i (a remote chance) then only they will be able to a get a oneoff patch.]
    Thanks

  • Need to run the report for All Values when Null is passed in parameter

    Hi All,
    In my BIP report, I am using a parameter :asset with Type as Text, which means user will type the values for the parameter in the text box.
    Now, this parameter can take multiple comma separated values. I have a requirement to run the report for All Values when user doesn't enter any value in the parameter text box and if user enters any value(s) then the report will run for those values . The way, I tried to handle that in the query using couple of ways was :
    IMP : My Database is SQL Server
    where
    (table.asset = isnull((:asset), table.asset) or table.asset in (:asset))
    Now this works fine when I give a single asset number but when I give multiple values separated by comma like 123, 345 in the text box, then the statement fails saying 'encountered ,'
    I also tried simply
    table.asset in isnull((:asset),table.asset) -- but this doesn't work as it doesn't allow me to use in operater while using isnull and if i will use = operater then it won't work in case of multiple values
    Any suggestions on how can I handle this? Any help would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ronny

    thanks for replying, but i tried this option too, it did not work for me, neither isnull nor coalesce. I mean, the solution work for single value but when i pass multiple values then separated by a comma then it doesn't work and shows me an error like "Incorrect Syntax ','". I am using SQL server as DB and bip is 10.1.3.4.1
    also please share the SR number, so i can also check the same.
    can there be any other work around to this?
    thanks,
    ronny

  • Tried to install iTunes 10.5 this morning but an error appeared saying "problem with windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run." Can someone please help

    I tried to install iTunes 10.5 this morning but an error appeared saying "problem with windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run." Can someone please help

    Firstly, are you installing iTunes for the first time or are you updating your current version of iTunes?
    If you're installing iTunes for the first time have you tried redownloading the installer package? Perhaps the file you downloaded originally is corrupted...
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/
    If you've tried that, then try installing iTunes as your computer's administrator. To do this right-click the install package and choose "Run as administrator".
    If you're updating iTunes to the most recent version try repairing the Apple Software Update program on your computer. It's under the add/remove programs.
    1. Open the control panel
    2. Open Add/Remove programs (called "Programs and Features" in Windows 7)
    3. Navigate to "Apple Software Update" in the list and click on it
    4. Click on "Change" then select "Repair" (or just select the repair option in Windows 7)
    Once you repair this, try running iTunes and the update again.
    Fingers crossed!

  • A program required for this install to complete could not be run???

    I just got a new computer with windows 7.  Whenever I try to install itunes, I get an error message saying "There is a problem with the windows installer package, a program required for this install to complete could not be run.  Contact your support personnel or package vendor."  I tried to install other apple software, quicktime and safari, and I get the same error message.  I extracted the itunes64setup file and can install the itunes file (which is just a shortcut, not the actual program) Bonjour, Apple Application support, quicktime, and Apple Mobile Device Support.  I cannot install quicktime via http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/ however. 
    I get the same error message when I try to install Apple Software Update through the extracted folder.  Ive googled around and found people with with the same error have gone to their control pannel and repaired apple software update, which solved the problem.  However, I cannot install the apple software update file, so it isnt in my add or remove programs, all the other files are.  Not being able to install apple software update is preventing safari and itunes from installing.  Any ideas or help would be apprectiated.

    REPAIR "apple software update" in programs in control panel. Then run the Quick time install package again.
