Usage Note 16890: SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office 1.3 and Microsoft .Net Framework
SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office 1.3 (AMO) requires Microsoft .Net
Framework 1.1. AMO 1.3 does not work with .Net Framework 2.0. If .Net
Framework 1.1 and 2.0 coexist on the same machine, AMO 1.3 installs but
might not load itself properly in Microsoft products such as Excel
and Word.
The results might vary but some conditions could range from the SAS menu
missing or a resulting error when the SAS menu is present and then
accessed (see SAS Notes #012964 and #016844 ).
A workaround is to use a config file that instructs Excel or Word
to use .Net Framework 1.1. The config files for Excel and Word are
excel.exe.config and winword.exe.config, respectively. These files can
be download from:
http://ftp.sas.com/techsup/download/pc/
Note: When you save the config file(s) down from the above link, use
"All Files" in the "Save as type" field rather than "XML Document".
If you are using Excel, place the excel.exe.config file where excel.exe
resides. If you are using Word place the winword.exe.config file where
winword.exe resides. Then restart Excel or Word.
Note: Using these config files causes the Microsoft product to load the
.Net Framework 1.1. Caveats: if you have another add-in that requires
.Net Framework 2.0, it will not run while Excel or Word is active and
using the config file to load .Net Framework 1.1.
If the SAS menu is missing after putting the appropriate config file in
place see SAS Note #016844 .
