Answered MDS 2012 Excel add-in installation error

    I'm trying to install the SQL Server 2012 RTM Master Data Services excel add-in (32 bit) on Windows 7.  Windows 7 and Office 2010 (32 bit) are all on the latest builds/service packs.  However I'm getting an error during installation "These prerequisites are not installed:  Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 Extended 32-bit version of Microsoft Excel 2007 or 2010.  All prerequisites can be installed from: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=219530.  I checked the control panel and I seem to have .NET Framework 4.0 Extended  installed with the version 4.0.30319.  I repaired and also removed and re-installed .NET Framework 4.0 and was unable to resolve the issue.

    give this a try (as referenced here)

    1. Uninstall .NET Framework 4.0 (Client Profile, Extended, and Multiple-targeting pack)
    2. Turn off .NET 35 in OS feature (Turn Windows Features On or Off)
    3. Re-enable .NET 35 in OS feature;
    4. Install Excel Add-in
    5. Reinstall .NET 4.0

    I found that I was missing the following Security Updates for .NET Framework 4 (KB2572078, KB2518870, KB2416472, KB2487367 and KB2539636)

    and some updates (KB982671 and KB2468871)
