   The <SAS.OfficeAddin.dll.config> file is typically located on the client machine at:

   <drive>:\Program Files\SAS\Add-In for Microsoft Office\

2. Use a standard text editor to modify the <SAS.Solutions.OfficeAddin.dll.config> file, inserting the following anywhere between the upper and lower <assemblySettings> entries:
