Installation Options Description

 

  1. Create the Addin file in the current folder and install the Addin for automatic loading when Excel is started. 
    Please note that you may need to enable macro files to run in the current folder. Refer FAQ's for how to do this.

     

  2. Create the Addin file in the default Excel Addin folder and install the Addin for automatic loading when Excel is started. (Recommended).

    The benefits of Automatic installation are:

    a) it takes seconds to complete,

    c) it simplifies the installation of updates.

     

  3. Create the Addin file in the current folder for you to perform a manual installation.

     

Should automatic installation fail to work, please use option 3 and perform a manual installation of the Addin.
