The add-in for Excel is not appearing

If the Winshuttle add-in is not appearing in Excel, ensure that it is enabled both in Winshuttle and in Excel. Note: the 64-bit configuration of Excel is not supported, so install the 32-bit configuration of Excel.

To enable the Winshuttle add-in from TRANSACTION

  1. In TRANSACTION, on the Tools tab, click Options.
  2. Under Application Defaults, select Enable Runner add-in for Excel.

Note: If the add-in is enabled in RUNNER but does not appear in Excel, an error may have occurred during installation that prevented the add-in from installing correctly. For Windows Vista and Windows 7 users, temporarily turn User Account Control to "Never notify" and then reinstall the software. To find User Account Control, in Control Panel, click User Accounts, and then click User Account Control settings.
