Jasper,

I just got the thermo import to work in excel. It's much more intuitive and doing challenging calculations it helps. I hate to ask, but what is the ETA on the unit operation package. Unfortunately, when I got this working, I can no longer use the excel-unit-operation module. If I could get both working, life would be good. I will enclose a picture of error.

I have no ETA yet on the unit. However, if there is problems with the unit since thermo is installed I would like to investigate. What are the symptoms?

The automatic update needs to be disabled. See here at the bottom.

I see that Excel does not exit when called from the unit operation, when the thermo VSTO is loaded. As it is not the thermo VSTO itself that prevents unloading of Excel, I will have to investigate.

Until the issue is resolved, please disable the thermo VSTO while using the unit operation (Excel/Options/AddIns/Manage COM AddIns, tick off CAPE-OPEN_Thermo).

You can still use the Thermo formulae, just the wizard / ribbon will not work anymore. You can re-enable it from the same place as above, and then restart Excel to see it again.

Please validate that the problem is resolved with Excel CAPE-OPEN Thermo Import 1.0.0.5, which is now available for download.

Can you try if it gets better with the Excel Thermo AddIn disabled?

Do you have any other COM AddIns (VSTOs) enabled? Can you also try to temporary disable those?
