Xllua does not work with Excel 2013 #15

Hi,

First of all, this is an awesome project. Thanks for this. I am interesting in particular with xllua, since I was looking for ways to intectact with Excel COM model from Lua. Actually, xllua does not play well with Excel 2013. When the xll module is registered via the Add-in manager, any further attempt to launch MsExcel will fail on trying to load the xll module. The reported error says the format and the extension of the file "XLLua-0.0.1.xll" does not match.

I know this was released before Excel 2013, but do you have any plans to come back on this and fix it ? Or is there a possible workaround ?

Thanks in advance.

Regards, Roland.

Hi Roland,

It sounds like it could be a missing dependency (i.e. Lua51.dll). Is this error specific to only Excel 2013? Usually each Excel version is backwards compatible, especially for addins.

Thanks, Peter
