Details
After installing a new version of NX (and removing the previous installed
version of NX), launching Microsoft Excel outside of NX causes the following
message:
'D:\NX85\UGII\ug.xla' could not be found. Check the spelling of the file name,
and verify that the file location is correct.
If you are trying to open the file from your list of most recently used files,
make sure that the file has not been renamed, moved, or deleted.
<<OK>>
Solution
1. Open the latest installed version of NX.
2. Select 'Tools-->Spreadsheet'.
This will cause NX to update the Excel 'Ug' plug-in to the Location of the
current NX install. Now when launching Excel externally to NX, Excel will
have the updated path for the 'Ug' plug-in and no longer display the message.
Notes and References
When a spreadsheet is launched from within NX, NX will update the 'UG' plug-in
in Excel to point to the proper installation of NX.
So when 'Tools->Spreadsheet' is selected inside NX, the 'UG' plug-in in Excel
will be updated to point to the %UGII_BASE_DIR%\UGII\ug.xla file for that
install of NX. To verify this, after selecting 'Tools-->Spreadsheet' inside
NX, perform the following:
1. Launch Excel.
2. Select the 'Start' button in Excel (upper left-hand corner).
3. Select 'Options'.
4. Select 'Add-Ins'.
5. Scroll to the 'Ug' plug-in in the list and take note of the Location.
The Location for the 'Ug' plug-in should be correct for the NX install that
just launched the spreadsheet.
If this NX installation path is removed, Excel will no longer be able to find
the 'Ug' plug-in location and will show the above message when Excel is
launched outside of NX.
