A few newer versions of Excel
are 64-bit.
We advise simply trying the 32-bit version first. Your pc's decision to use either 32 or 64 bit OTC will be based on whether
your Excel is truly 64-bit (not on whether your version of Windows is
64-bit).
Microsoft office not valid.
Install failure can be caused
by an
installed, but not "activated" version of Microsoft Office on a new
PC. This means you have not PAID for Office yet. You may not even see an error

please have someone else proceed from here, you should not be attempting this.
