Installing 64 bit version Cognos for MS office in Win 7

[UseCog]

Hi,

Anybody had a luck in installing the 64bit version of Cognos MS office in Windows 7 PC. I have installed and the installaion is finished without any errors and I can't see the plug in anywhere in the MS Office (even I have checked to add from toolbars and also in File-> add-ins)

Please let me know if you are aware of any know issues. I am using C10. version

Cheers

We experimented with Cognos MS Office (CAFE) last year. From memory the biggest issue was with the Excel version. So perhaps your office version is too old ?

Hello,

check if the add-in is not disabled. In some cases, I don't why, the Ribbon is not visible because add-in is disabled.

Are you definitely running MS Office 64bit and not Office 32bit?

sorry MFGF for a very late reply... it was not in my top priority list to get the Cognos for MS office.  Thanks Blom and Oliver for your replies

You are right to say that the MS Office is  32bit version running on a 64 bit OS. I have installed the 32 bit version and It works, but gave me a lot of errors.  From my memory, it works for simple reports and gave me error for any complex reports..I am not sure about the reason

Well, I doubt we can suggest anything from simply knowing it gave you a lot of errors :) I guess it's possible others may have seen the kinds of errors you are talking about and know how to get past them, but without knowing what those errors are it's impossible to say.

Cheers!
