Hi,
I’m just going to pull up a seat and observe as I am also getting this issue. Fresh install, Excel is installed and the register entry suggestion is no good. I only have 32 office installed.

mnkbuy, do you have startup errors in your logs?

Uncheck the “visible” property in “properties” panel of the read range workbook activity!

I feel this works without installing excel!

Let me know if it works

Best,
Shreyas.

The Visible property is not there, its on the Excel Application Scope. I have it unchecked and still doesn’t work.
