Install of Report Generation Toolkit without Microsoft Office previously installed.

[St. Pete SAIC]

After installing "LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office Version 1.1.3" on a computer without Microsoft Office I noticed that the Report Generation VI palette does not include the "Excel & Word" specific VI's, even though I have "Excel & Word" installed. Is there any way to "activate" those VI's without installing "Microsoft Office?" If the answer is no and I do install "Microsoft Office" will those VI's become available on the Report Generation VI palette? Or will a reinstall of the "LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office Version 1.1.3" be required?

OK any question?  Install the specific Office version and if that doesn't change the registery keys that NI is depending on reinstall the LV Add-on.  Of course NI, software tool-kits check registered software!  Why install a "for Office" package that is unusable or (worse from a litigation point) includes functionality for unlicensed or pirated "Office" installations.  Again- "*xx For (R) Office xx*"  means they have gone through some licensing agreement.

Do you mean to say that you have installed MS Excel & MS Word alone without installing the whole MS Office suite?

If you have done so, I think LV also will install the RG toolkit VIs properly.

Else, maybe you can try installing the whole MS Office suite & then try the reinstallation of the RG toolkit.
