TektronixToolBarsSetup Installation Problem

Post by yctek101 » November 24th, 2016, 1:52 am

I have installed OpenChoice TekVISA v4.1.1.15. When I want to install TektronixToolBarsSetup.exe, I received an error message "Please install OpenChoice TekVISA before running this installation. Setup will abort now."

Please help. Thanks.

Per chance are you using Office 64-bit? The toolbar only works with Office 32-bit.

The issue is that the Excel tool bar requires a 32 bit Tek Visa and the current Tek Visa on Tek.com is only for 64 bit OS. At this time we do not have a working solution for the Excel tool bar.

The add-in work ok. Installed on Excel2013 and Excel 2019 (32 bits). You must use TEKVISA CONNECTIVITY SOFTWARE, V4.0.4. I also install Openchoice Desktop and the program also work.

Hi all,

After many years of struggling with this, I have finally figured out the solution to getting the TekVisa Toolbars for Office running on modern systems.

Short version:
  1. Install the 32-bit versions of Microsoft Office, TekVISA, and the TekVISA Toolbars
  2. Manually copy the toolbar template files to %OFFICEROOT%\startup and \xlstart
  3. Add those directories as Trusted Locations to the Office Trust Center
Long version, with step-by-step directions and links:
