Smart View Ribbon Fails to Display After Non-Admin Installation on Windows 10
In some cases, installing Oracle Smart View for Office on Windows 10 as a non-admin can cause the Smart View ribbon to fail to display.
In a non-admin install, you double-click the SmartView.exe
file to launch the installer. In an admin install, you right-click SmartView.exe
and select Run as administrator.
If you installed Smart View as a non-admin and the Smart View ribbon does not display, complete the following procedures to troubleshoot this issue:
Add the COM Add-in

Go to File, then Options, and then Add-ins.
-
From Manage, select COM Add-ins, and then Go.
-
In COM Add-ins, select the check box to enable the Oracle Smart View for Office add-in, and click OK.
-
Restart Excel.
If the Smart View ribbon does not display after restarting Excel, proceed to Reinstall Smart View as Administrator.
