Hi, I get the following error message when i try to install Power pivot on my 32 bit windows seven PC. I have downloaded the correct file for my PC. Please help.
Setup is missing prerequisites:
This add-in requires Excel 2010. If you have 32-bit Excel, you must install the 32-bit version of the add-in. If not, you must install the 64-bit version. This add-in requires that the Office Shared Features component of Microsoft Office 2010 is installed.

Hi,
To get rid of the problem, please do the following steps:
1. Save PowerPivot_for_Excel_x86.msi to a local folder.
2. Right-click on the Command Prompt and choose Run as Administrator.
3. Type msiexec/i c:\data\PowerPivot_for_Excel_x86.msi in the Command window.
4. Start Excel and choose Accept when prompted to install PowerPivot.
N.B. If PowerPivot doesn't show in the ribbon, just go to File>Option>Add-ins and select Com Add-In's from Manage drop-down list and choose Go. Don't forget to confirm that PowerPivot for Excel is selected. Have you selected it? Press OK.
I think your problem has been solved.
