I have run into this problem a few times and it always takes me a while to remember the solution.
Installing PowerPivot on Excel 2010 appears to be successful, but the tabs do not appear. When I tried to add it directly in the Add-Ins section it still gives an error message “Not loaded. A runtime error occurred during the loading of the COM Add-in.”. The solution for me has been to install VSTO 4.0 Runtime.

Topic Synopsis: In SQL Server 2012, MDS is matured into an enterprise MDM solution. To leverage all its capabilities, companies should have a standardized, industry-specific model to jumpstart their business into a single view of all known entities. In Healthcare, an enterprise-ready solution must fully comply with HL7 V3 requirements and all other healthcare standards bodies’ recommendations.
Building on this requirement, Maestro Healthcare goes the extra mile to include complete reference data that solves your ICD9-ICD10 transition dilemmas. In this presentation, Tyler Graham will discuss how a wide variety of healthcare companies can leverage the reference data support of Maestro Healthcare Industry Solutions with SQL Server 2012. He will then delve deeply into Profisee’s ICD9 and 10 reference data support and demonstrate that Maestro Healthcare provides a comprehensive, industry-specific MDM solution with a full body of features – matching, survivorship, and data quality strategies; integration, collaboration, and governance services; expert skills transfer and implementation services; and complete platform and solution support.

I recently had a Toshiba laptop that was no longer able to power on. I had always had trouble with the power connections on the machine and now it was no longer able to charge at all. I did not want to spend any money fixing it since it was old and out of warranty. The only problem was that I did need some of the data on the drive. I may post some of the issues that I had with this laptop, but that is for another story.
I had been working with VMware for a while at work and I figured I would give it a shot.
First, I bought a hard drive enclosure to house the drive. It was inexpensive and I needed to move the drive to the enclosure to get it imaged. The enclosure was nice to have since there wasn’t much space left on any other machines. I wouldn’t be using the image much anyway after getting what I needed, but who knows.
Next I created an image of the drive with Acronis True Image. This step was easy and didn’t take as long as I had expected. It created the “.tib” file and that was it. There is not much to that at all.
Once I had an image I converted it to a VM using VMware VCenter Converter. This is a really simple process and took just a few clicks.
Finally I was able to open it VMware workstation. It worked perfectly and I was able to recover all of my projects. If you ever have a similar problem give this a shot.
