Title: MDG MS Office - Installation
Post by: apetosa on April 10, 2016, 04:35:35 am
EA Team,

I own EA-Ultimate Edition and was about to toy around with the MDG MS Office extension that is included in this edition. Per instructions given at http://www.sparxsystems.com/products/mdg/int/office/office-integration.html (http://www.sparxsystems.com/products/mdg/int/office/office-integration.html), I downloaded and ran the 'Microsoft Office 2010 Primary Interop Assemblies' MSI file. It appeared to run to a point, but I received no instructions as stated in the 'Installation Instructions:' section of the preceding link.

To verify whether or not the MDG MS Office EA extension installed, I started EA and selected the 'EXTENSIONS' item on the EA menu bar. As expected, the MDG MS Office was not in the list.

I have MS Office 2013 on the system in which EA is installed. Should I not already have the request MS Office libraries necessary to run the MDG MS Office EA extension? Are not the MS Office 2013 libraries backwards compatible with MS Office 2010?

How do I resolve this issue?

Thank you.

Have you actually installed the Office Integration add-in? It's not clear from your post

I do not think it installed properly, because I was not prompted during the installation process in accordance with the instructions provided by the link.
