Issues when trying to add a new Add-On on Dashboards 4.0 09

Hi everybody,

I am new to this forum, and I would have a question.
This did not happen to me before, as I managed several time to install new add-ons on my Dashboards.
I just installed Dashboards 4.0 SP09 on one of my VMs and as I tried to install an add-on using the “standard” procedure:

  • open a new empty dashboard
  • go to File/Manage Add-Ons
  • browsed for my xlx file for the add-on
    and when I double clicked on the file to select it, the Add new Add-on dialog disappeared and I could not do anything with Dashboards.
    I could only end-task it, however as I restarted it, the add-on was not installed.
    I tried the same thing again with the same effect.
    I am using Windows 7 Professional, and Office 2010 Professional.
    Does anybody have any idea as what needs to be done?
    Thank you.

Dashboards has to be started as administrator in Windows 7 otherwise some weird behavior will be experienced.
I forgot about this as I configured Dashboards to be started automatically as administrator.
Sorry about that.
