Problem w/ the Excel-TDM add-in

[ErinH]

Hi-

I've used the ExcelTDM add-in on other machines w/ no problems, but I tried downloading it to a new computer (w/ office 2003, Vista) & the icons don't appear in excel. 

I tried to follow the directions on this page:  http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/5874

I get stuck at step #3 b/c the ExcelTDM.dll file is no where on the computer.  Is it possible that the add-in isn't downloading properly?  I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the add-in twice now, with the same results.

Any halp would be appreciated!  Thanks!!!

Hi ErinH,

We'd like to confirm that you get the latest web download installer from http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/2944 first.

Then you can notice at the bottom of the dowload page there's one tip:

After the installation of the TDM Excel Add-In on Microsoft Vista you need to start Microsoft Excel at least once using administrator privileges.

So if you are using the Add-In in Vista, you can either turn off the UAC(User Account Control), or right click Excel.exe and "run As Administrator" for the first time.

Good luck!
