[dba-Tech] Excel

[Rocky Smolin]

So I may have found the problem of Excel not starting in the 2021 version:
when I try  to open it directly I get a system error that MSVCR90.dll was
not found. Try reinstalling the program.

I downloaded this $50 version from Tech Spot. I have the product key but
not the installation file. Will the key work with any download of O2021? Or
does someone have a link to that installation file? Or could send me a copy?

MTIA,

Rocky
