Registering XLGL in Excel

For some reason, either after installation or later on, the XLGL menu may not appear in Excel. Actually, the add-in is not loaded at all and it becomes impossible to refresh your report. This can be caused by updates, antivirus/antispyware program and others.

Luckily, fixing this is easy. Here are the steps to take in Excel 2000-2003 and then for Excel 2007.

Excel 2000-2003

1-On the Excel menu, click on Tools, then Add-ins.

2-Mark the checkbox for XLGL and click OK.

Excel 2007

1-Click the Office button. (the big round button in the upper left)

2-Click Excel Options (at the bottom right of the window)

3-Select Add-ins in the left panel.

4-At the bottom of the window, click Go…

5-Mark the checkbox for XLGL and click OK.

In the case where XLGL would not be in the list, click on Browse… and retrieve the XLGL.XLL file from the installation folder. If you did not change it at installation, it will be:

C:\Program Files\Logicim inc.\XLGL\XLGL.XLL
