Can't add ActiveX Objects.

MSOfficeGuy · #1 12-13-2014, 10:04 AM

This thing happened when i removed all Old Points of Restore PC.
when i added activeX object,it says "Object Library invalid or contains references to object definitions that could not be found."

What i do?! I reinstalled Office 2013,i downloaded program "FixIt",and repair Microsoft Office. Still can't add objects.

This looks like a bug related to a recent update.

Try going to your Temp folder (local) and delete any files with an .EXD suffix.

Here's the "official" post re Excel. I think PPT will be similar.

Thank you so much! It's now working!

I love this forum.

Glad it worked. Pretty stupid of MSFT though, breaks a lot of pro work.

So I have to tell a client - "I know you have 600 PC's but if you want my AddIn to work ...."

And weird or what, I have the update, I have the EXD's and I don't have the problem on any of our PC's!
