Installation
important
This release of SEI has a new package for the Excel Add-in installation. Before installing version 2024 R3, you need to uninstall your current version of Excel Add-in. Once version 2024 R3 will be installed, subsequent installations will not require any uninstallations.
- The Excel Add-in installer now automatically detects the most recent installed version of Excel and its architecture (32 or 64 bits) and automatically attaches the add-in to Excel.
- The Server installer now does the DCOM setup for the Excel Add-in distribution.
- The BI Service will no longer exist as of Release 2024 R3. Web Server now represents the Web Client component and the BI Service Windows Service.
