PowerPivot Installation Problem

Hi All,


I am trying to install Power Pivot to my stand alone Excel 2010 (32 bit mode) running in XP. I downloaded and installed the software pre requisites A)Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime and B).net Framework 4.0 and re-started my PC. When I run the Power Pivot install I get a message indicating that the above pre-requisites are not installed or running correctly. Has anyone had a similar experience and have a fix?
 
Hi, jblack!

For XP Framework 4.0 requires SP3, do you have it installed?

And VS2010 works only with x86 versions:

Hi SirJB7,


I do have SP3 installed and my Excel 2010 is running in 32 bit mode and I downloaded the x86 versions of PowerPivot and Visual Studio Tools. I'm still getting the setup message about the pre-requisites. Are there any settings that must be made manually?


Thanks.
 
Hi, jblack!


None that I knew apart from the described in the official links from MS website. And I actually don't know what happens on XP systems as I never used 2010 Excel versions on them, just up to 2003 for sure and maybe 2007.


I assume you downloaded it from this link:

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel/download-powerpivot-HA101959985.aspx

and checked/did all the requisites and other stuff mentioned there.


If not, I'd suggest you to uninstall it, download it again, reinstall it, and see what happens.


Regards!
 
Hi SirJB7,


Problem solved. Another case of operator error. I checked the installation instructions regarding adding .netFramework4 and VS Tool and saw that .netFramework4 must be installed BEFORE VS Tool. I uninstalled VS Tool, re-booted, then re-installed VS Tool, re-booted, then installed PowerPivot without a hitch.


By the way, I downloaded PowerPivot from this link: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29074.


Thanks for your help.
