Manually Registering HsAddin.dll when Smart View Does Not Start

In some cases, the Oracle Smart View for Office add-in file, HsAddin.dll, does not register properly with the Windows Registry, and the ribbon tab for Smart View does not appear when launching an Office application, such as Excel. In these cases, try manually registering HsAddin.dll.

To register the HsAddin.dll with Windows:

1. Close all Office applications.

2. Start a Windows command prompt as administrator.

3. Switch to the bin folder of your Smart View installation.

   The default location is Oracle\SmartView\bin.

4. Run the following command according to the bit version of your Office installation:

   C:\Windows\System32\regsvr32.exe <--for 64-bit

   or

   C:\Windows\SysWOW64\regsvr32.exe <--for 32-bit

5. Restart Excel.

   If the issue persists, contact Oracle Support.
