Steps to check when XLCubed addin does not appear after installation

Please try each step in order, checking each time if the ribbon has appeared by restarting Excel

XLL may not be registered

Solution:

The following command should be run to register XLCubed assemblies:

Windows Start button, Run "C:\Program Files\XLCubedLtd\XLCubed\XLCubed.Excel.Installer.Utility.exe" /reg

XLL/COM addin appears in disabled list

Check it is not in Disabled Items in Excel

1. Select File, Options, Add-Ins as below:

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 is not in Disabled Items in Registry

Check it is 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.

Check that all prerequisites are installed

For a full list, see the Prerequisites page.

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.

Is the Automation Security Level too restrictive

This usually only applies if the Microsoft Office security settings are managed via Group Policy by your domain administrator, or were configured via the Office Customization Tool.

The Automation security setting can restrict the loading of the XLCubed ribbon if it is not set to Macros enabled (default) .

More information about this setting can be found in these TechNet articles:

• Office 2007: Security policies and settings in the 2007 Office system.
• Office 2010: Plan security settings for VBA macros for Office 2010

Necessary Office components not installed

If the 'Visual Basic for Applications' and '.NET Programmability Support' components are not installed, functions and the ribbon/menu may not work.

Solution:

1. Go to Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs and select the entry for Microsoft Office.
   
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
4. Microsoft Office Excel > .NET Programmability Support – make sure there is not a cross against .NET Programmability Support
