Using ExcelReports with Windows 7

I have created a program using LabWindows 2010 that creates and edits Excel workbooks using the library ExcelReports. The program works on a computer that is running Windows XP, LabWindows 2010 and Windows Excel 2007. When I run the same program on a computer running Windows 7 (and still using LabWindows 2010 and Windows Excel 2007) I get an error when creating a new Excel Application of "Library not registered".  Not sure how to resolve this.

 

I also ran the LabWindows 2010 example excelreportdemo and it also has the same issues "Library not registered" when running on a Windows 7 machine (and runs correctly on a Windows XP machine).

 

Any help is appreciated.

Which version of Excel is installed on the Win7 box? Keep in mind that free versions of Office and its individual products (e.g. Excel Starter) cannot be used to connect to, as they lack the ActiveX interface ExcelReports rely on.



Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.
