Hi All,

I downloaded the PTPower install files from this site and tried to install it on my local system. I have also installed the ADOMD.NET files prior to running the PTPower install. Even though the setup starts it gives me the below error soon after the start. I have tried this multiple times with no success. Any help on this is much appreciated.

Thanks in Advance
Priyanka

Hello - a few of us in my office have tried to install PTPower without any success. We have tried more than twice including: running the install from a copy on my local machine and installing ADOMD.NET prior to installing PTPower. After every install, I get the message: The latest version of this customization is already installed. In my control panel, Add or Remove programs: PTPower version 1.0.0.13 and Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services ADOMD.NET 10.0.1600.60

When I open Excel 2007 & look at Excel Options, PTPower is in the list of Inactive Application Add-ins. I attempted to activate it by clicking on the checkbox to "Load at Startup". The next time I open Excel, PTPower is back in the Inactive Application Add-ins. What could be missing from or interfering with a successful install? Do we need SqlServer Data Mining Add-ins for 2008 (Excel & COM Add-ins) as Active?

Please advise & feel free to contact me directly for further assistance.
Kind regards,
Arlene

Hello - to answer your last question, yes. I see PTPower in the listbox, click the box and hit OK. I can tell Excel is trying to activate PTPower because it takes a moment to bring me back to the worksheet. So then I create a pivot table from scratch. After that, when I go to Options (in the ribbon area), I do not see PTPower. When I go back to the Add-in's tab (via Options) & Manage drop-down box to view the listbox, the Load Behavior comment is: Not loaded. A runtime error occurred during the loading of the COM Add-in.

Also, I do have Visual Studio Tools for the Office System 3.0 Runtime installed because I see it in the Control Panel. I would appreciate any other advice to get this utility working in Excel 2007.

Kind regards,
Arlene

Thank you! I will check back again next week.
