I get the error “Failed to load BusinessQuery. Please run the Setup again. (BQ0001)” when I try the Load option from the Businessquery menu in Excel 2000.
I have a full-client BO 5.1.2 install (also did try running Setup again), and the BO application works fine. Also, I have the PATH variable duly set in the Autoexec.bat file with SET PATH=“C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects 5.0”;"%path%"; as per some tip here. However the problem continues to exist.
Anything else that I can try to make the add-in work?
Solved!
Ours is a shared Master install of BO on a server, from which the local installation occurs. The instance oof BO which runs is actually from the image on the server.
On a hunch, I changed the PATH setting as follows:
SET PATH="\BOServer\BO";"%path%";
where the BO folder contains the BO executable.

Choose Settings | Control Panel | System
Select the Advanced tab. Look for “Path” in the User Variables and System Variables. If you’re not sure where to add the path, add it to the right end of the “Path” in the User Variables. The value for PATH would be: <\BOSERVER\BOSHARE> Capitalization doesn’t matter. Click “Set”, “OK” or “Apply”.

BusinessQuery should work after this (no reboot required).
