Excel won't start by Report Generator

[keptat]

I've got a LabVIEW 8.2 application that opens and sends data to Excel, but all of a sudden, it stopped working, it says Excel is not found or not installed.

It's an executable, only the Run-time Engine is installed.

I've reinstalled both the LabVIEW Run-time Engine and Microsoft Office, I tried clean installations (uninstalling, reinstalling) but nothing seems to work.

I upgraded it to LabVIEW 8.6 and installed the RTE of course, but I get the same message: "Excel is not found or not installed".

I created a simple executable that only opens Excel and it doesn't work.

So the application works properly except for the part where it opens Exel, I'm using Windows XP SP2, reinstalling Windows is not an option, so I'm kinda lost here, any ideas?

Ran into this a few days ago and got it working.  Check out my post...

Thanks, BernieSAIC.

But as I wrote, it stopped working, it used to work.

I copied the .exe to other computers, it works properly.

It's something between Windows and LabVIEW, the latter cannot open Excel nor Word.
