[ISS Support Case] Insight 64bit Excel Add working On a Standalone System (No Wonderware)

Last updated: March 7th, 2025

Description

I am trying to install the Excel addin for Historian client. I have followed the instructions in Tech Note 1078, however, the addin does not show up in the add in list, even after restarting Excel. The Tech Note states the network path should be "\\HISTORIANSERVERNAME\InsightAddin". However, the "InsightAddin" folder is not on the root drive of the historianserver. I did find it at... \Programdata\Historian\InsightAddIn. I tried to use that path, for the trusted catalog, but that didn't work either. See attached screen shot.
