"Cannot open Excel - Is it installed?"

pheisen · August 2019

Love LINQPad. Have used it over several years, Windows versions, and PCs. Now get "Cannot open Excel - Is it installed?" message on right-clicking over data grid. Only reinstalling LINQPad fixes but only for a while, then starts again. Any ideas?

You should get an idea of what's causing the problem by running the following query, which contains the same code that LINQPad uses to open Excel:

Thanks, Joe. Just "running" the link restored the Open in Excel capability. Wild.
