Connectivity RTD Server Installation Elements

For Excel worksheets with RTD functions referring to Connectivity RTD Server, you need install following files:

All files described here: Installing Assemblies (.NET), including:
OpcLabs.OfficeConnector.dll

You will find them under the Components\Opclabs.QuickOpc\net472 subdirectory in the installation directory of the product.

In addition, you need to register the OpcLabs.OfficeConnector.dll assembly using the Assembly Registration tool (Regasm.exe). The Assembly Registration tool is a part of .NET Framework, and is therefore available on every computer that has the .NET Framework installed.

For more information, please refer to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/tzat5yw6(v=vs.110).aspx. It is recommended that you use the /codebaseoption when registering the assembly.

On 64-bit systems, a 32-bit and a 64-bit version of RegAsm.exe are present. Using the 32-bit version of RegAsm.exe registers the assembly for use by 32-bit Excel, and using the 64-bit of RegAsm.exe registers the assembly for use by 64-bit Excel. Depending on your Excel bitness, you need to select the proper version of RegAsm.exe.

Another method that can be used to deploy the Connectivity RTD Server is with the Production installer - see Automated deployment with Production installer .
