About this task

You can install Excel Add-In separately or during Client Tools installation. This topic describes how to install Excel Add-In separately using the installer. You can also install it at a command prompt. However, if installing via a command prompt, do not install the Excel Add-In on the machine that you have installed the Historian Administrator or data archiver.

Procedure

  1. Mount the ISO.
  2. From the mounted ISO, run the InstallLauncher.exe file.
    The Proficy Historian Installation page appears.

  3. Select Install Excel Add-in for Historian.
    The installer runs through the installation steps.
    Note:
    If using certain versions of Windows (like Windows 10 or Windows 2019), you may receive an error message, stating that some of the DLL files are not registered. You can ignore these messages.
  4. When prompted to reboot your system, select Yes.
