How to install ABB Data Direct excel add in for all users?
Currently the add in has to be manually added to excel for each user after a user profile has been created. Is there a way to automatically add the excel add in for all users?

Hello,
The DataDirect add-in is integrated into Microsoft Excel on a user-basis. Initially, the DataDirect add-in tools are only available for the user that installed the DataDirect software. Logging onto the computer as a different user requires the add-in tools for that user to be manually added.
1. Log on as the desired user and start MS Excel.
2. Click on the “Office” button in the upper right hand corner and select “Excel Options” from the bottom of the menu.
3. Select “Add-ins” from the pane on the left. Then press the “Go” button in the right pane.
3. Press the “Browse” button, and browse to the ABBDataDirect.xla file located in:
C:\Program Files\ABB Industrial IT\InformIT\DataDirec\Bin
4. Make sure the “DataDirect” check box is checked, then press “OK”.
5. Once the add-in is enabled, the Data Direct toolbar will be available.
Note: In order to enable the DataDirect macros the security level must be changed to low. This procedure has to be followed for every user and every node where DataDirect is going to be run.
1. Click on the “Office” button in the upper right hand corner and select “Excel Options” from the bottom of the menu.
2. Select “Trust Center” from the pane on the left, then press “Trust Center Settings”.
3. Select “Macro Settings” from pane on the left and check “Enable all Macros”.
