What you need to do is go to your control panels then select SYSTEM.
Under the advanced tab click Environment Variables. With in this dialog
box go to System variables and search for path. What you need to do is
add the path of excel in here. Just go to t he last path in there and
add ;C:\Program Files\MicroSoft Office\OFFICE11\ .
