Hello everybody,

I want to use the UIAcademy to learn something about automatation. I already installed StudiX but there is a problem with the Excel AddIn.
When I`m trying to install the AddIn, there is followed errormessage:

With my adminaccount there is no problem to install the addin but when I want to activate the addin, it´s not showed up.
I also installed the UI.Integration.Excel Certificate, but it doesn´t helped.

Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem? I would be really happy!

Best regards,
Kevin

any antivirus or domain policy? installing the addin should enable it by default under excel addins-> COM addins

Hey studiX.
The antivirus and the policy should not be the problem, because the software is on our whitlist and already in using by other users.
There is no AddIn to enable :confused:

Is there any solution in sight?

few fixes will be available in next update from next week

Today I installed the new version of Studio X but the error occurse again.

Hello,

I would like ask you to dig up a few logs for us :slight_smile: More precisely next to the Studio log it should be an ExcelAddIn_Install.log. It should contain a bit more information about why the installation failed. ( %localappdata%/UiPath/Logs)

Also when reading again your post I noticed that you said that with your admin account there is no problem to install the add-in. By this you mean it did not throw an error or you were able to actually use it :slight_smile:

Dragos.

make sure you updated correctly since the latest available beta is 1788

Hello, I’m studying through my company, and I had a very similar issue and could not install this add-in to continue on my studies. Could you help me with the issue below when trying to install? I downloaded today, so I imagine it’s an updated version

Thanks

Hello,

Can you please follow this thread MS Excel Add-in not installed - #29 by lionworx it would give you details on how to fix common issues with the plugin installation and how to create meaningful logs and gather information that will be useful in the debugging process.
Regards,
Dragos.

I’ll create a new thread then, because the issue I’m facing is not listed on the thread you mentioned, and it’s closed, so I cannot post there. Thanks

Not necessarily a new thread but the information that we need to debug the plugin is encapsulated in that thread. It would be a waste of storage to duplicate all the information that is posted there in this thread.

Regards,
Dragos.

any antivirus that could block your installation?
