No Powerpivot menu in EXCEL with Powerpivot Denali CTP3

Question

I'v just downloaded Powerpivot Denali CTP3, and it doesn't work !

- Windows 7 64 bits + all updates

- EXCEL 2010 64 bits

- Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime (x64)

 

After uninstall of previous version of Powerpivot (works without problem) + installation of Powerpivot Denali CTP3 + reboot, I have no "Powerpivot" menu in EXCEL 2010. (I could see Powerpivot in the Files / Options / Addins list). 

Answer 1

I have the same problem....I tried to enable the add-in from Excel (it shows as disabled on the list COM Add-in list) but it still doesn't load after restarting Excel

Answer 2

I was able to install PP for Excel by

 

1) Installing .NET Framework 4 (I didn't try with 3.5 SP1)

2) Turn off Antivirus

 

 

Answer 3

I have "Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile" (4.0.30319).

With no antivirus, it's the same problem !

Same problem on a laptop with Windows 7 32 bits, EXCEL 2010 32 bits and Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime 32 bits

Answer 4

I think you need full .NET 4 (you should see "Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile" and "Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Extended"), not just the client profile.

Answer 5

Thanks, it works with the full .NET 4 !

Answer 6

So does antivirus have anything to do with this problem? I have .Net Client Profile + Extended and I have the same issue, but I have antivirus which I cant turn off

It was not a problem of antivirus. You must have EXCEL 2010 SP1.
