Bug fixed: Excel Adapter and variant MS Excel language versions!
In a posting in the support forum a minor problem was reported with the Excel Adapter when used in a mixed language environment with different language versions of operating system and MS Office. In this particular case, with Windows XP in Italian and an English version of Office installed. If an Excel import or export were attempted, it would give the error message: "Old Format or Invalid Type Library ". If you should encounter this problem, you can workaround the problem from this version on by editing the registry entry

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareFlowHeater

Create a new value here with the name "ExcelLanguage" and type STRING. The value you enter depends on the Excel/Office language version actually installed on your computer. In the case above it is likely to be either en-GB or en-US. After editing this and restarting FlowHeater you will be able to run Excel import/exports.
