Excel Add-in won't install

Hello,
I'm a real newbie, so please forgive the silly question.
I have Excel 2003 and I can connect to an Oracle 9.2 database. I tried installing the Excel add-in but I do not see it listed on the menu bar. However, I do see it listed in the Add-in list.
As I understand the install instructions, I didn't see any other requirements to get this running.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Do you get an error when installing the Add-In?
Even if Excel does not appear in the taskbar, it may still be running as a process. Be sure to launch your task manager and kill any excel.exe processes.
Try doing a complete uninstall of the Add-In and re-install.
Else open a ticket with Metalink.
Thanks

Essbase excel add-on error after installing IR Studio.

Hyperion software compatibility issues?
Getting Essbase excel add-on error ("Error 1040007 Cannot find message database") after installing Hyperion Interactive Reporting Studio 9.3.1. We are able to consistently reproduce the error on several workstations.
Any ideas?
Thx,
Ernesto

Try installing IR first, followed by the Essbase client. I think that worked for us. I can't recall what our path looked like in that scenario I just remember if we did it in that order things worked fine. I think Support said there is no certain "install order" that truly fixes the problem, that you have to manipluate the path by hand. But I'm pretty sure installing IR first worked in our enviro.
I do not know of a way to install IR Studio without the Essbase components, my understanding from Support is that they changed the product install thinking it was better this way, they learned after the fact it actually causes the problem you experienced. I would imagine they've changed/fixed the install behavior again in post 9.3.1 releases, but haven't heard.

Measure Add-in won't install in Excel 2010

I've used Measure 2.0 on other computers successfully, including one running Excel 2007 with the VBA converter pack. However, I cannot seem to add it to Excel 2010. It is listed and selected in the Active Add in list, however it does not show up in the Add-ins menu with my other add-ins. Any suggestions?
thanks

Hi Jessica,
I am sorry to tell you that unfortunately, the Measure product reached it's End of Life date back in 2009, prior to Excel 2010. Please see the product page here:

Add-ons won't install

When I click to download the Add-on Compatibility Reporter if I look in about:addons it says it is installing but this never completes. If I click to cancel it the cross doesn't respond. After restarting Firefox the addon doesn't show up in the list any more. I have tried deleting the extensions and compatibility files from the profile folder but the issue still occurs.

Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry. New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions on the next start in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the "Find Updates" button (in Firefox 4: right-click the extension -> "Find Updates") to do a compatibility check.

I've installed firefox 4 but some add ons won't install as they say I'm still running 3.5.6 What's going on?

I'm getting messages saying "This addon requires 4.0.* you are running 3.5.6" Help>About says I'm running 4.0.1

Either an add-on (or you) set an override for your Firefox version. To clear that:
(1) Type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type '''usera''' and pause for Firefox to filter the list.
(3) Right-click and reset any bolded lines that contain "override"
Any luck?

Not able to install Essabse Excel Add in

Hi
I've installed and configured the Hyperion 11.1.2.1 on my Server Window 208 Rs 64 bit server. The Essbase Excel add in was not installed. So am trying to install ti manually. But am not able to do that. Am getting an error saying that the path that is given is not correct. Please help me out of this
Thanks in advance

You say that you are not able to install the add-in and you get an issue in installing the Excel Add-in. Do you get the error mentioned when you try to install it?
Once the Excel add-in is installed you need to register it. Hence Register the Spreadsheet Add-in.
If you are getting error while opening Excel try the following --
1. Close Excel
2. Unregister Spreadsheet Add-in, select Start, then Programs, then Oracle EPM System, then Essbase, then Essbase Client, and then Unregister Spreadsheet Add-in.
3. Register Spreadsheet Add-in, select Start, then Programs, then Oracle EPM System, then Essbase, then Essbase Client, and then Register Spreadsheet Add-in.
4. Launch Excel and then check.

"Add-On Software" CD for LV6.1 won't install.

Following NI Forums Knight Dan Knutson's advice to install a LV version earlier than 8.5 in order to convert 40 VIs written in LV5.1 to LV8.5.1, I attempted to install LabVIEW 6.1. There is a CD that won't install. It is the "Add-On Software" LV6.1 CD. The CD does not autoinstall when it's put in the CD drive. When I right-click the Autorun > Install icon, the installer returns, "Error. Installation failed." The CD has LabVIEW, and Measurement Studio folders, an autorun setup information file and and Eagle icon. There is no setup.exe on the installation CD main directory. Could anyone please suggest how to install the LabVIEW and Measurement Studio folders?
I tried to go into the individual sub-folders of the "Add-On Software" CD, but when I reached LabVIEW\Enterprise\SPC\Install\disk1\ and click Setup.exe, I get "Setup Installation Error. Setup has detected that UnInstallShield is in use. Please close UnInstallShield and restart Setup. Error 432." Running MSCONFIG to remove isUninst.exe from the Startup folder fails because no IsUninst.exe application runs on startup, rebooting does not help, it's not an Administrator issue because my account already has Administrator privileges, and searching the Internet does not give useful clues.
Could an expert please solve either of these two problems?
Thanks,

Hello All,
I may be confused on the topic of a Compact RIO integrated with LabVIEW version 5.1? Version 5.1 pre-dates the release of Compact RIO hardware. The Compact RIO platform uses neither NI-DAQmx, nor the Traditional NI-DAQ driver, it is built on a separate driver platform in NI-RIO. May I inquire as to why version 8.5.1 was selected for the upgrade process, and not the latest version in 2009 SP1?
As you may have experienced already, the process of upgrading across 10 releases of the LabVIEW development environment may present issues, as the environment has been significantly changed through the years. For additional information on the upgrade process please see the following information:
How to Upgrade or Revert a VI to a Different Version of LabVIEW
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/8387
Upgrading to the Latest Version of LabVIEW
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/7417
More realistically, does this application contain highly customized code, or functions, that are not integrated into the newer platform? With regard to hardware integration, if you intend on working with the Compact RIO platform, you will be working to develop brand new code using the LabVIEW Real-Time (and possibly LabVIEW FPGA) Module, as any code written in LabVIEW 5.1 will not support the Compact RIO platform. With respect to any additional hardware that may have been used, you will need to verify the device support in either the NI-DAQmx or Traditional DAQ releases, this information can be found at http://www.ni.com/support. I believe time spent developing on a supported platform, for the new hardware set, may be more effective than looking to directly upgrade the 5.1 code.
Please post any additional questions you may have.

How to install 3 Excel Add-Ins in one deployment ?

I have 3 excel add-ins which work in conjunction with each other. I want the user to install all 3 at the same time, from one install package. How to do that?
I am following the steps in "Deploying an Office Solution by Using Windows Installer".
This is a single user install.
Just guessing, I have created a visual studio solution containing the 3 add-in projects as "existing projects". And the 4th project in this solution is a "setup and deployment" project type. InstallShield Limited Edition Project.
I am not clear if there should be a different destination folder for the .vsto and .dll.manifest files for each add-in.
thanks,

Hi Steve Richter,
Here is a MSDN article about how to Deploy Multiple Office Solutions in a Single ClickOnce Installer.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/dd465290(v=vs.100).aspx
The article will tell you the following three points.
Creating two Office solutions to deploy, and one Office solution as the installer project.
Modifying the application manifest of the installer project to install two Office solutions.
Re-signing the application and deployment manifests.
If you have any other concern regarding this issue, please feel free to let me know.
Best regards,

Essbase Excel Add In - 11.1.2.1 - Install

Hi,
When downloading the files from eDelivery, what are all the necessary files to install the Excel Add In only. I need the easiest way to install. Users are on Win 7 64bit with Office 2010 32 Bit. If I remember right I have to download a bunch of files, unzip them to a directory the run the 'installtool.cmd'? Or is there a simpler way like a .exe install like the old days? If I have to do the unzipping an installtool.cmd, I want the minimum number of files to have to download to successfully install it.
Thanks

See the section "Installing Spreadsheet Add-In" in the 11.1.2.1 Installation document: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epm_install_11121/frameset.htm?launch.html

Installing Essbase 11.1.1.2 Excel Add In (Client) and EAS on remote laptop

Hi,
Just got done installing Essbase 11.1.1.2 on a single Win 2003 server. Everything is installed EAS and Essbase Client. However, I need the Essbase Client to be ported to many users that are running Excel 2003. Also, i need EAS client to run from a laptop as instead of having to remote login to the server. My question is do I go through the same install process as I did for Essbase server? Or is there a smoother less complicated way to install. I think for the EAS client, it's ok but trying to roll the Excel Add In to hundreds of users, this could get messy.
Thanks

Systems management software like Microsoft SMS, Landesk or Radia should be able to help you to deploy software to many PC.
You can ask your IT whether they have this in place.
Otherwise, you can consider to use Smartview instead of Essbase Add-Ins, Smartview allow you to deploy the software to many PC and future upgrades.

Installing Essbase Excel Add-in on 11.1.2 and Excel 2007

Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone has had any success installing the excel add-in (essexcln.xll) on Office 2007 and 11.1.2? I've been trying over the weekend, so that I can start using the vba api with essbase and I'm having no luck. I've tried the essexcln.xll at (installed drive)\oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\essbase\bin and I'm getting a "file is in a different format than specified by the file extension" message box, and a whole spreadsheet of random characters.
I've also tried installing the add-in through the patch created for 11.1.1.3. The add-in works, but if I try to use the API to open an outline, I get an "outline too new" error.
Anyone have any hints?
Thanks in advance,
Nathan

Hi John,
Thanks for the help. So I've tried installing the add-in both on Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008, and I'm still getting the "The file you are trying to open, 'essexcln.xll', is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?" message box. I've tried running excel as an administrator, then adding the add-in through excel's add-in menu.
When I open the file, the first line of the sheet says: This program cannot be run in dos mode.
Also, both servers are 64-bit. I'm unsure if this could affect the add-in working.
Thanks in advance,
Nathan

TDM Excel Add-In for Microsoft Excel will not install: Installation Summary No software will be installed or removed.

Hello,
My7 computer is running Windows 7, I have the Base installation of LabVIEW, and have Microsoft Office 2007 installed.
I have downloaded the Add-In for Microsoft Excel from:
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/2944
unzipped it successfully (66 files created)
searched for messages and updates (No notifications.)
and I get a screen reading:
Start Installation
Review the following summary before continuing.
Installation Summary
No software will be installed or removed.
The "Next" button is grayed out, leaving "Save File" "<<Back" and "Cancel"
Does anyone have a suggestion why I am unable to go any further?
Thank you,
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Are you sure it hasn't been installed before? Under Control Panel...Programs and Features...National Instruments Software...do a "Change/Remove" and look down the list for "NI TDM Excel Add-In verX.XX". If found, uninstall and re-run the installer for the newest version.
This might help as well.

Unable to find/install Essbase Excel Add-in

Hello,
When I installed Essbase on this computer, for some reason we did not have MS Office installed and so the Add-in was not installed automatically.
Now, I cannot find the essexeln.xll file in the bin director and Excel does not show it as an Add-in. The Excel version I am using is 9.0.3821 SR-1.
How do I install this add-in on my computer? Thanks.
-- Adi

Installing the Essbase Excel add-in is pretty harmless, and I assume this is on a PC not a server correct?
If this is 9.3.1 and if it's on a PC just run the setup.exe for the "Hyperion Essbase Release 931 Client Windows Installer" - do you still have that downloaded??
It should fit on a flash drive if you just want to take it over to the PC in question and run the setup.exe. There's the .exe, a .jar and a .inf file that comes with the install.
Be sure you're logged on as an Admin on the PC before you install, that's easiest.
Once you install do a reboot just for fun (probably not required but given the history of your install) then go back to your Start | Programs menu and run that register add-in item from above.
Good luck, hope this helps,
Karen

Excel add-in - pre-set options on install

I was wondering if anyone has ever tried to preset the global options in the Essbase Excel add-in during the installation. It appears that the ExcelAddin.dll file would contain the options, so if I had my application packaged to replace that file with one that I have already set the options in, would it work?
I know I could do the option-setting through VBA in an Excel sheet, but I was wondering if anyone has tried this approach before.

Hi Robert,
You would have to have mod those settings in the users registry during the installation.
