Hi,
I have a client complains the UDF of the excel addin return #NAME! error after upgrading to a newer build. This is difficult to replicate but it seems the addin didnt uninstall/install properly on the client's machine.
As you can see here, the UDF is not initialized as the name is not initialized.

In addition, there are duplicate registry keys created by the installer. Uninstalling the addin will remove all entries, including the duplicates

Installing the addin on a clean machine works fine but not machines have older build installed previously.
The older package was created with Microsoft App-v Sequencing.
The new package was Captured with Numecent Cloudpaging.
I'm requesting the adxloader.log and adxregistrator.log from my client; however, with the given info, do we know what could cause the duplicate registry keys and why is the UDF not initialized? |

Hello Ming,
BTW, is this your name? Mine is Andrei :)
It looks like your new setup project doesn't uninstall the previously installed version of the add-in.
Does the UDF registers correctly on a clean machine?

Hi Andrei
yes my name is Ming.
yes the UDF registers correctly on a clean machine. The UDF works as expected and there're no duplicate registry keys when installed on a clean machine. |

Hello Ming,
Thank you. Then you should look into how your new installer uninstall the previously installed version of the add-in. Check the manual on the software installation product that you use.
