Frequently Asked Questions

How can I tell whether XLL+ 6 has been installed?

If XLL+ 6 has been installed, it will be listed in the Visual Studio About box. Click on Help/About Microsoft Visual Studio to show the About box, and scroll down the list of installed products to find "XLL Plus 6.x" (where x is the minor version number).

The XLL+ menu items do not appear on the Visual Studio "Tools" menu.

First, check that XLL+ 6 has been installed. If it has been, use the Tools/Customize... menu in Visual Studio to show the Customize dialog.

Select the "Commands" tab, and the "Tools" Category. Scroll down the list of commands and find "New XLL+ Function...". Drag it onto the Tools menu.

In the same list of commands, find "XLL+ Function Wizard..." and also drag that onto the Tools menu.
