Installation

It is recommended to create a new folder for the Taurec Add-in. In this sample it is C:\TaurecAddin. Copy the addin files to the folder.

Files

Depending on which Excel® version is installed, the 32 bit or 64 bit version must be used. There is a folder for each version. Each folder contains the DLL (TaurecAddin.dll) and a configuration file (TaurecAddin.ini).

files

The configuration file controls the type of installation (user or administrator). By default, it is installed for the active user, so no administrator rights are required.
