10.2.2 Add-in Installation doesn't seem to work

After running the Cognos for MS Office install I am only able to see the Analysis plug-in, not the reporting plug in.  Would like to know if anyone has tried installing the 10.2.2 add-ins for Office 2013.
Timing is everything.

Did you make sure you ran the correct installer? If you have a 32-bit version of MS Office you need to run the 32-bit installer for Cognos for MS Office and if you have a 64-bit version of MS Office you need to run the 64-bit installer for Cognos for MS Office.

Cheers!

Meep!

Turns out it was the install itself.  I re-downloaded "Cognos for Microsoft Office 10.2.2" again and after using that it finally installed.  Upon closer examination, I had downloaded that previous package from IBM last November, and for some reason it did NOT contain the "Cognos for Microsoft Office"  plug-in, it contained CAFE.  Not sure how I could have gotten that - it isn't even on the list of available downloads for me right now.  Regardless, I now have the plug-in installed and using Office 2013 (installed locally via Office 365) and it is working fine.
