The unlock of each file worked for me, but then when I try to register it says the serial number is not valid....please assist. Thanks!

Couldn't get it to install due to the certificate issue--the solution offered in the included text file to fix this problem did not work.

I download the software and works on my Excel 2010, i have windows 7.
A question please to the programmer of this software : how to use cell color assistant please?
Thank you for your free software
I like it

Finally I got it installed. But now I can't register the program! The registration window does not respond. Tried it for many many times. When I push "REGISTER" the window is not responding. "No internet connection, connect to your internet" Already so much trouble with the installation, how can this program be good?

Installed and registered successfuly without any problem.

Works like a charm
Thank you for this useful app.

I keep getting this message when I try to run setup on this program in ~ What does this mean, Disambigulation setup.exe is a Windows executable file, do you want to run it? clik no to try to open as archive I seem to have this problem a lot on these programs and just give up but I would really like to have this one Dose for Excel. Any help out there?
Thanks

Useless for me. After downloading and 'installing', I'm told I must restart my computer before I can run the program and enter the code -- I have too many things open, many of which would need to be saved. I normally put my PC to sleep at the end of the day and will only close it perhaps once a week when I have cleared all my open work.

Downloaded, installed, and registered without a hitch in Windows 10. My Excel 2007 is running it smoothly!
Thank you GOTD and Zbrainsoft!

Poor installation. I see so many others with issues also. I have Office 365 subscription. ZBrainsoft, if you want to promote and sell your product you must simply get your installation issues with all versions of excel corrected first. Thumbs down to your company sorry you earned it.

Well it worked when I did this as suggested by "Alexa"

after unrar the folder you downloaded of Dose for Excel, right click on each file, select properties and under General tab on the bottom there is a text saying ‘This file comes from another computer and has been blocked to protect the computer’ and next to it a checkbox ‘Unblock’ press on it.

do that "unblock" thing on each file and then try the setup file again and install and that will work..

Like others I am getting the error message (Certificate not trusted) and cannot continue with the installation.
I tried to follow the proposed solutions in the lacunous Readme file (after you tell to right click on the exe you NEED TO tell users to select Properties cause it's not intuitive to all) but I ended up with more errors (different security zones).
Thank you for the free software but it's ridiculous to have to go through all this to install a software.
I have given up.

I install the program in Office 365 but states serial number is not valid. please advice since I copied and paste the serial number various times

Ok this is a bit of hassle but worked in end Windows 10 x64 Pro. First ran Excel Office 16 to be sure it was active on safe side. Had the Dose files in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16.
Include all the files and Applications folder from d/.
First try I got no go Untrusted Cert. Ok let's do that.
Trick is you gotta get setup.exe (Dose) to install the Trusted Cert via right way & to right place or will
not work. My first try using Properties & Details & install Cert was wrong though result said Successful. Here's the rub. When it asks where you want the Trusted Cert to go - select the Location box. Then the browse tick on right. Up will come a WIndows list of locations - select first one, something about Microsoft Trusted Certificate Authority or such. Can't miss it, very first choice. Do not try to find a location using Explorer or Search. Has to go into special MS location of their own design. Once you follow on and get proper Success, run Setup.exe (did as Admin to be sure). Install. If Excel open close & rerun. Up on top will be a big DOSE in caps on the green field. Click it and there's all the nice extras.
Thanks GOTD. Sure needs a more user friendly install. It all hinges on LOCATION method. This was on the second d/l version @11am ET.

I followed the advice and put all the files including setup.exe into my Office14 folder (I have Excel 2007 and 32bit Windows7). Ran setup.exe and everything just installed and worked including Registration.

This program would probably work best for those who do not use excel that often. Most power users of excel already know where to find all the different 'powerful tools', or we have formulas or macros set up to do all the functions provided by Dose. However, I work with 2007, so I think later versions of excel would have most of these functions already provided. Again, probably a good program for casual users.

Dear Gents,

For all who had problems with installing or registering our product Dose for Excel Add-In, please redownload the Addin again and reinstall it and it will works fine.

Thanks for your patience.

I am running Microsoft Office 2007, and my version of Excel is from that suite. So I must ask if Dose for Excel 3.1.7 will work with that version? I don't use Excel as often as the other main apps in my Microsoft Office suite, but I do work with it often enough for this to be of use if it can be used with my version. I know there are later versions available, but from what I have seen with the later versions there is not enough that has changed for me to spring for the high cost of the latest version. Besides, Microsoft Office 2007 still serves me quite well, and I can see no reason to upgrade from it.

I followed all the instructions but when I pull up my excel , there is nothing there indicating DOSE. The Readme says:

Open your Excel program, press Dose --> Help --> Register and enter your e-mail and the serial number below:

When I open Excel, there is nothing in any of the menus with the letters "Dose" so never even got a chance to enter my serial #.

Help!!!!!

With all of the issues listed, I'm a bit reluctant to download the program till it gets worked out with certificate & install issues in a way that makes sense. But, I wanted to ask a different question - how does Dose for Excel differ from Asap-Utilities' system? I've been using Asap's add-in for almost 15 years and love it - I don't know how different the two systems are though...

Thanks!
Jennifer

Most of us have compatible excel software, this will not even install to see how it works. There are lots of other excel scripts for free that do similar functions, just search for it.

Does Dose functionality also work for OpenOffice's spreadsheet program?

I have the latest version of Excel. I unzipped the provided zip file, and the resulted folder was put into a desktop folder called "Down". I double clicked setup.exe. I received the following message from Microsoft Office Customization Installer - "There was an error during installation. Does for Excel. Customized functionality in this application will not work because the certificate used to sign the deployment manifest for Dose for Excel or its location is not trusted. Contact your administrator for further assistance."

Sounded promising but I was also unable to install. Tried all methods listed in the readme file.

This looks like a very useful add-in for Excel. I just spent an hour last evening manually removing trailing spaces in a spreadsheet that this handy add-in could have handled in a second. Very cool. Registration was a problem at first but I had no issues on the second registration attempt.

can't install says not a win32 application ( on win xp sp3) pity would have tried this

any comment help, welcome

I'm a big fan of Excel, I use it daily and thought this looked like something I could use. However, with all the errors and warnings received while attempting to install turned right off it and installation was abandoned. I know we are getting this for free but if I had bought this and encountered these problems, I would have been demanding a refund. Just too much effort and time needed fix this. Sort out the issues and this could be a very useful tool to have.

To authors of Dose:

Nice, it is a start.

Excel is a very powerful tool, unfortunately it has a interface that was designed in the bronze age.

What we need it a simple easy toolbar maker, which allows users to construct the tools they use often, I.e. one for text, one for charting another for multiple document merging etc. Small icons, user defined tools, even user selected icon assignments. Imagine dragging the tools used regularly into a new user bar, assign them to small icons, group them for user category and allow users to select which icon tool bars float around, like photoshop, or lotus.

Now, when a user is in Excel they need to constantly switch menus and sub menus. That is retro thinking.

Continue the good work, Dose has potential. It is a great start.

Cannot register. I get an error msg stating
"No internet connection, connect to your internet"

The "Donate" button works though! No problem with internet if I press that button! Hmmm...

Well I too attempted to install this program and had trouble with certificate issues; I attempted to follow the instructions pertaining to the certificate issues in the "Read Me" file that came with this download. Windows followed me through this procedure warning me of issues that could occur and yes, I chickened out; no program should ask you to follow these instructions if it is well written in the first place. I believe the company who makes the program should be the ones who should be worrying about Windows certificate validations and not us the consumers. Yes, this is a give away but it makes me wonder that if I would purchase this program, would I be doing all of this as well to get it installed correctly? I also believe that Give Away of the Day does not become fully aware of these problems ahead of time but I also believe these programs should be tested prior to offering them to avoid all of these frustrations. Now to delete the folder for this software. I really wanted this as I am learning Excel and thought this would be helpful.Thanks any GAOD, I appreciate your efforts in your give aways!!

Similar install problems as above, not sure I'd use the program often enough to spend the time it's taking install.Sorry

press Dose? where? I am using excel 2003, please tell me how to make it show up in excel. Is it under 'addons' if so then nothing shows - where do I browse to to add it? all the files installed ok (from my downloads folder - this is not same as where excel is).

No luck at all with this program. It won't install and I don't have the time or patience to try to make it work. I surely won't buy it if the developer can't be bothered to produce a product that installs properly.

In any case,
Thanks for the offer

Unable to install. Tried all methods listed in the readme file to get past the certificate error and still would not get past the problem. Poor program that has to many problems for installation. Deleted download.

How to properly uninstall Dose?

it is giving error : the value of the property 'type' cannot be parsed.
The error is : could not load file or assembly
'Microsoft.Office.BusinessApplications.Fba, Version=14.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
(C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\ Microsoft Shared\VSTO\10.0\VSTOInstaller.exe. Config line 10)

Please, which is the installation folder to put in the root? Thanks.

I cannot install the program but my problem isn't with the certificates, the error message I get is this https://gyazo.com/0aba35a64930ab32e180bdc0b2040ecb

All the files have been unzipped to the same folder btw

I can't download this - I get 'blah blah.... the certificate used to sign the deployment manifest for Dose for Exel is not trusted'.

Not having very good luck with your software shares lately. :(

Installed smoothly on second download. This is a excellent little utility for enhancing Excel. Thanks.
