Hi,
I can't seem to get any Excel Add-Ins to work. In particular, I need the
'Solver' for an assignment ...
I've tried with two office versions (2007/2003), which I've managed to
install successfully (you have to enable the Solver add-in during
installation), but it's the same every time.
When I try to start it up I get a message saying can't access SOLVER.XLA,
and then '400'. Initially I got a msgbox with squares in it - this was
fixed by adding dcom98 with winetricks.
I would like to simply know whether someone has been able to successfully use
this ('tools' -> 'solver...' after enabling it in
'tools'->'add-ins...') in any version of office, or whether
I'm simply wasting my time.
Alternatively, if someone knows of a free linux spreadsheet application that has
a non-linear solver, I would be grateful. I've already tried OO3 and
gnumeric.
