To use the features of IBM® Cognos® Analysis
for Microsoft Excel, you
must have installed the primary interop assemblies (PIAs) for Excel.
Typically, the PIAs are installed automatically when you install Microsoft Office on the computer.
However, in some cases you might need to install the PIAs separately.
If you did not install .NET Framework before you installed the Office
system, the PIAs are not installed with your Office installation.
You can install them from the redistributable PIA package.
Computer
workstations must have the PIAs installed and registered in the global
assembly cache to run Office solutions that target the .NET Framework
4.0 or later. However, the Office PIAs are not required on computers
to run Office solutions that target the .NET Framework 4.
The Microsoft Office PIAs are installed
in the global assembly cache in drive:/WINDOWS/assembly or drive:/WINNT/assembly.
Before you begin
You must be an administrator on the computer to install
the .NET Framework and the Microsoft Office
PIAs.
Procedure
- Ensure that the .NET Framework 4.0 is installed.
- Go to the Microsoft download
website.
- Follow the instructions in the download page to install
the primary interop assemblies.
