Hello Hall,

In order to fix that issue, you will need to reinstall the Visual Studio 2012 tools. Another workaround will be to download the Orca MSI Editor and after that run a full validation. You will need to get rid of the CustomAction and after that  you can go ahead and install PowerPivot.

Regards,

Nicke
