I am trying to figure out how to use xltrail for our project. Installed xltrail client as per instructions. But I am getting the following error when executing git diff [18812] Failed to execute script diff Traceback (most recent call last): File "diff.py", line 28, in <module> Aspose.Cells.CellsException: Invalid password. at ^N\u2004\u2003.^B(^E\u200b\u2000\u2002 ^B, String ^C) at Aspose.Cells.Workbook.^B(String ^B, LoadOptions ^C) at xltrail.core.Workbook..ctor(String path) fatal: external diff died, stopping at FMT.xlsm The git config has the following entry [diff "xltrail"] command = git-xltrail-diff.exe [merge "xltrail"] name = xltrail merge driver for Excel workbooks driver = git-xltrail-merge.exe %P %O %A %B

Any idea how to provide the password when the file is protected.

Hi seppu, password protected files are currently not supported. If only VBA is password protected, that should work.

Thank you for the clarification.
