I'd guess that it's the Excel reference that is killing the 
installation.

You are developing on OXP, so you end up with a reference to Excel 
XP. Then when you install your ADE on a box with O2K, there is no 
Excel XP to reference.

About the only way to get around that that I can think of is to 
change your code to use late binding for the Excel routines and 
unreference (dereference??) Excel.
