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.
The way add-ins are managed has changed in Excel 2007. Earlier versions of Excel had a manager for XLA, XLL and automation add-ins, and a manager for COM add-ins that was separate and harder to find. Excel 2007 offers a single add-in manager that lists installed add-ins of all types in one place. To reach this manager, go to Office Button | Excel Options | Add-Ins
In order to enable or disable OAK, locate the drop-down list near the bottom of the Excel Options window, and select "COM Add-ins", then click the "Go" button.
This shows the COM Add-Ins dialog. Again, observe the Operis Analysis Kit 4 add-in.
OAK can be disabled using this dialog, and re-enabled again later when you have finished working with any conflicting product.
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. |
