This error can appear for a number of reasons:

  • if you are running Excel from a network location rather than a local hard drive. Bet Angel will not work with cloud based versions of Excel. Make sure Excel is installed locally.
  • Insufficient permissions. Make sure you are logged into your computer as an administrator.
  • 64-bit incompatibility. Make sure you have the 32-bit version of Excel installed.
