On the surface, it seems you may have downloaded the wrong version. The original version was for v5.1, but an additional version was uploaded for XI.

Hi,

I downloded the latest version of this utility, but I am facing the same error with objects library file. Can any one tell me where I can find that library?

Thanks

It is installed automatically with the Designer software. Start Excel and do not open any additional files. Press Alt-F11 to start the VB editor, go to Tools, References… and look for BusinessObjects Designer 11.5 Object Library. If it’s not there, it’s a problem with your install.
