Multiple Excel versions in Windows

I have Excel 2007, 2010 and 2013 installed in my Windows 7. In the main user profile, I can use any of the three versions, but in another user profile, Excel 2013 is not available at all. Is there any setting I need to modify to fix this? Any help? Thanks in advance.
 
Good day indzara

Running three different versions of Excel on the same machine is going to cause you a lot of problems, your registry must be a mess and you will, if not now, soon get some messy Excel openings.

You would do better to install each on a virtual machine.

Why 2007 and 2010 the difference between each is not much I would ditch 2007.
 
Thanks for the instant response. I was able to run Office Repair from Control Panel and all three versions started working. Then again, after a few days, Excel 2013 is not opening.

I agree with you that having multiple versions is not a good idea. I build templates and publish at http://www.indzara.blogspot.com . I received feedback from many users who still use Excel 2007. Some functions work differently between 2007 and 2010 and I was unable to test until I installed Excel 2007. The compatibility wizard in 2010 doesn't really work.

Can you please point me to any online material around installing on virtual machines, if you have any recommendation?

thanks again for the instant response.
