Symptom

The message “The launcher is exited with error, see log file for more details” appears in Analysis for Office when using the parameter “/app XLS /AOOnly” in launcher file. Excel starts without Analysis for Office Add-In.

The LOG shows the error below:

- Error:  General .NET Exception:
The Analysis Add-In is not registered correctly

Environment

Resolution

The reason can be related to the parameter LoadBehavior in your registry settings.

If you can’t find the parameter LoadBehavior in your registry settings (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Excel\Addins\SBOP.AdvancedAnalysis.Addin.1), you need to add it manually:

  1. Select Start\Run\regedit.
    The Registry Editor dialog box appears.

  3. Go to Edit -> New -> DWORD (32-bit) Value.
    Enter the setting name “LoadBehavior” in the Value name field and define the setting value in the Value data field. Make sure that you use the correct setting name.
