Disabling OAK
Operis hopes that OAK will not interfere with any other Excel add in that you may have installed on your computer. If it does, Operis would like to hear about it.
If a conflict does arise, you may wish to disable OAK temporarily when you are using the conflicting add-in.
Users are likely to be familiar with the Add-ins dialog that is accessed using the Tools | Add-ins menu item in Excel 2003. This dialog manages XLA add-ins and automation add-ins, including earlier versions of OAK.
However, OAK version 4 is a COM add-in, and COM add-ins are managed through a separate menu item which is not displayed in the menu system by default, and will need to be added manually, if OAK 4 is to be enabled and disabled at will.
Installing the COM add-ins dialog in Excel 2003 and earlier.
| 1 | Go to View | Toolbars | Customize |
| 2 | On the Commands tab, locate the COM Add-Ins command in the Tools category. |
| 3 | Click and hold the mouse button on the COM Add-Ins command and drag it into the Tools menu. |
| 4 | Close the Customize window. |
| 5 | Go to Tools | COM Add-ins. |
| 6 | Observe the Operis Analysis Kit 4 add-in. |
| 7 | OAK can be disabled and enabled using this dialog. |
Installing OAK 4 in the COM Add-ins List
If the installation process has worked as intended, OAK will be automatically added to each user's COM Add-ins list in Excel. However, in systems that are severely locked down, usually for security purposes, the installer may be prevented from doing this. In this case, it will be necessary for each user of the machine to add OAK to the COM Add-ins list manually.
| 1 | Go to the COM Add-ins dialog as described in the previous section. Click the Add button, and navigate to the folder where OAK was installed. By default, this is C:\Program Files\Operis\OAK4. |
| 2 | Select Operis.OAK.Addin.dll (or Operis.OAK.Addin64.dll for the 64-bit version) then click the "OK" button. |
| 3 | Operis Analysis Kit 4 should now appear in the list. |
| 4 | Press the "OK" button on the COM Add-ins dialog. |
| 5 | After a brief pause, the OAK 4 splash screen should appear briefly. |
