Add-In gets installed in Root Directory
Issue
In rare cases the Setup.exe could fail to find excel's installation directory. It then installs the Add-In to the root directory at "C:\" and shows the following error message in excel:
Solution
The setup should have success getting the correct directory, if it gets called from a command line with administrator rights.
- Press the Windows key on your keyboard and start typing "cmd".
- Please, richt click the entry "cmd.exe" and select "run as administrator".
- Navigate to the path where the Setup.exe is located using the command
cd
(e.g.:cd C:\Users\IhrBenutzername\Downloads
) - Run the setup by calling the command "Setup.exe" .
If these steps did not help, please check your permissions to access the target directory of installation. (e.g. Program Files)
