Troubleshooting: "bExcelAutoGenManagerShell File Not Found" when starting Excel
Summary
A developer asks:
When I'm looking at the Class Explorer list of properties, there is a button in the upper right corner captioned "Excel Editor." However, when I click it I get the following error message:
bExcelAutoGenManagerShell File not Found
How can I get beyond this error and see the intended Excel Editor display?
Suggested Approach
A stale version of an ActiveX control (OCX file) can cause this. To force a download of the current version of the ActiveX control:
- Close all Internet Explorer windows.
- Use the Windows File Manager to access the c:\windows\Downloaded Program Files directory
- Delete
prImportManager.ocx
, - Go into each CONFLICT.X directory remove any files and the directory.
- Restart Internet Explorer
- Log on to Process Commander.
