Installation Troubleshooter

If the Sheetcast add-in doesn't seem to load at all when you run Excel, there is an installation troubleshooter than can help.  If it can't fix your installation, it can help you bundle up log files and send them to our developers to solve the problem.

1. Before troubleshooting, check that the add-in isn't merely hidden. On the Home ribbon, the Sheetcast button should be at the far right.  If it is, open the Actions dropdown and "Show Sidebar".
