Hello Dandamudi,
I disabled the UAC (User access control) and it started working fine. You might also give it a try and let me know. Below is the link to the article on “How to Disable UAC in Windows Vista”

Centigon Solutions has released components for Xcelsius 2008 that provide robust functionality and fill in some of the product gaps. I pulled the link out, as I crossed that line between sharing info and advertising, and I apologize for that. There is a Google Maps plugin on their site that is a free beta that is definitely worth checking out.
Best Regards,

This helped! I had the problem with “greyed out Manage addons”.
After the change of UAC it is not greyed out anymore!
