Hello,
I have a challenge right now where my desktop has 2 versions of excel installed on it. One is the normal desktop version that everyone is use to opening (Figure 1) and the other is a packaged version (Figure 2) that has been pushed to users of the EPM Add-in. The packaged version exists so that users have an isolated version of excel to work with that is free of conflict with other Excel add-ins as we all know that add-ins tend to not play very nice with each other.

This solution works very well when users only need to use the EPM add-in and never have any interactions with the BPC Web Client. The problem is that by default when you click a link in the BPC web client that needs to open Excel (Figure 3) it takes you to the desktop version (Figure 1) of excel and not the packaged version.

My question is where is a configuration value set to have BPC Web open up the packaged version of excel versus the desktop version. My guess is somewhere in the windows registry or a BPC BW configuration value.
