XLL/COM addin appears in disabled list

Check it’s not in Disabled Items in Excel

2. Select Manage, Disabled Items from the drop down and Go.

3. If there are any Disabled Items they will appear in the following window.

4. You will have to select, enable and close this window before restarting Excel.

Check it’s not in Disabled Items in Registry

Check it’s not appearing as a disabled item in the registry. Sometimes Excel may not list it as disabled item even though it is disabled in the Registry.

Look in the following location:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Excel\Resiliency\Disabled Items

The sub-folder below Office in the above location varies depending on the version of Office:

• Office XP – 10.0
• Office 2003 - 11.0
• Office 2007 - 12.0
• Office 2010 - 14.0

If there is an entry in the above registry location you will need to delete it.

If you do not have administrator privileges you can download and run the application referenced in Removing any disabled items from registry section.

Run the fix utility on the installation

Run command: "C:\Program Files\XLCubed Ltd\XLCubed\XLCubed.Excel.Installer.Utility.exe" /fix

Are XLCubed Functions working?

Open the Excel workbook, put =XL3Lookup in any cell and click anywhere. If #NAME? appears where you entered =XL3Lookup that means the functions are also not working. If there is a number in that location it means that XLCubed functions are working but the ribbon is not loading.

Is there a conflict with other addins?

Untick them all – then tick each, one by one, till you find the one that is conflicting with XLCubed.

Are other addins also disabled?

Enable all other add-ins that are disabled.

2. Change, Add or remove Features.

3. Office Shared Features, Visual Basic for Applications – make sure there is not a cross against Visual Basic for Applications
