Installing Powerpivot with Excel 2010 Professional Plus 2010 version

[muralli]

Hi

I downloaded Powerpivot add-in from MS's website and tried to install. The 64-bit pack doesn't install as I have a 32-bit MS Office installed.

I tried the other installation file (PowerPivot_for_Excel_x86). It installed but not loading. The add-in shows up in Excel as 'Inactive Application Add-ins'. I tried to activate it in the list of COM Add-ins, but nothing happens.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

did you check the "disabled items" ? its in the same drop down list as the COM Add-ins

Yes, I did. It was listed. I selected the 'Manage Com Add Ins' and selected the Powerpivot check box and clicked 'Ok'. But it said there was some error loading at startup. And again I do try to activate, but nothing happened.

I have uploaded the screen shot of the error message.

Got it.. I installed a .Net update and a MS Visual Studio update from the below link and installed the 32 bit version of the Powerpivot.

Download PowerPivot - Excel - Office.com

It was a success.

Thank you.
