3 Install Oracle Visual Builder Add-in for Excel

To install Oracle Visual Builder Add-in for Excel, download and run one of the two available installers. You can download these installers from the Oracle Downloads page.

There are two available installers for the add-in: a "Current User" installer and an "All Users" installer. Use the Current User installer to install the add-in on your local desktop for your own use. The All Users installer is intended for IT administrators.

The add-in runs in Excel on a Windows environment and requires some additional Microsoft components. Check out the Software Dependencies topic for details.

Installer Types

The Current User installer installs the add-in for the current user’s Windows profile only. If there are other people using this computer, they will need to install the add-in for their own Windows profile.

When you use the All Users installer, the add-in is installed in the Programs Files folder and is available for all users on the target Windows machine.
