Here’s what they did:

  1. I right-clicked on setup.exe (installer for VSTO application) and chose ‘Run as administrator’. Answered [Yes] at the UAC prompt.
  2. I received a message informing that I already had the VSTO application installed.  The application was not showing in Excel, however this was already a step further than previous installation attempts.
  3. I pushed forward, found the VSTO application in Programs and Features and uninstalled it.
  4. Finally, I ran setup.exe again - this time not using ‘Run as administrator’.  It installed successfully and runs as expected. (Plan was to use Run as admin again if it failed, but it wasn’t required.)

thx
