  Hello everyone,

  I am sequencing Showcase v7.1 using appv sp2/sp3. The rest of the application works fine except the excel addin part. During sequencing the add-in gets added in the menu. Now when we publish the application and add the showcase virtual app in a connection group with MS office 2013. We launch the excel to check for add-in and we receive an error saying "the file format and extension of .xll dont match....." and if i open it anyway it opens as a spreadsheet. On the title bar it shows that the open document is "scxadd32.xll [read only]" and the spreadsheet is alot extended ASCII characters. The first line has a cell that states "This program cannot be run in DOS mode" preceeded by a bunch of extended ASCII characters. You can see the same type of thing if you open the .xll file in a hex editor.

  Have sequenced on 64-bit machine.

  Thanks!
