“Unable to set the installed property of the add-in class” error message

If Excel 2007 crashes while running a RealData product, you may find that whenever you open the same RealData product thereafter, you see this message:

Runtime error 1004: Unable to set the installed property of the add-in class.

The cause of this problem is unknown, but you can work around it as follows:

After seeing the above message, while still in the product, select “Excel Options” from the Office Menu (circle at top left) or File > Options. Select “Add-Ins”, then find “Manage: Excel Add-Ins”, and click “Go…”.

Find the appropriate add-in for the product you are running:

for REIA Standard Edition v14: Realdata-Reia14A
for REIA Standard Edition v15: Realdata-Reia15
for REIA Standard Edition v16: Realdata-Reia16
for REIA Standard Edition v17: Realdata-Reia17
for Comparison Analysis: Realdata-Ca1A
for Portfolio Analysis: Realdata-Pa1A
for REIA Lite Edition: Realdata-Lite11A

for Comparative Lease Analysis v2: Realdata-Cla2A

Click the checkbox for that add-in, and click OK. This should resolve the problem.
