In the Electrical Output manager in AECOsim Building Designer v8i ss5 and later, Microsoft Office 2013 and later are not supported by default. When attempting to export to Excel in the Electrical Output Manager you will get an error.
Workaround:
We will create a new Excel Application Registry key for Excel 2010 that instead points to the installed version of Excel. This will enable the Electrical Output Manager to communicate with your version of Microsoft Office.
Use command regedit in command line or start regedit.exe in C:\Windows\SysWOW64
• Search entry EXCEL.APPLICATION.14 (or look for the highest number that is listed. .16 is Office 365) at HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
• Copy value in key CLSID
• Select HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT create a new key with name EXCEL.APPLICATION.12 (This is the key for Office 2010)
• Select EXCEL.APPLICATION.12 create a new key with name CLSID
• Insert the copied Value data to new CLSID key
