Office 2010 Shared PIA is not Available?

Question

I have an Excel Add-In for Excel-2010 version, which was created using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. The code is written in C#. To install the Add-In , you have to run a setup.exe file which will add the Add-In to Excel. Everything seems to be working fine on Excel 2010, but when I am trying to install this on Excel-2103

I am getting the following Error:

The Office 2010 Shared PIA System is not Available.

Is there a way to install the add-in in the 2013 and also after it is installed will it work Perfectly or do i need to make any changes ?

Answer 1

It took a while to figure out but its done finally. The add in launch conditions were checking for the availability of the shared PIA.

Condition: HASSHAREDPIA and it was looking for the corresponding component id associated with excel 2013 PIA component ID

to obtain the suitable component id and replace it in the Search Target Machine Search for office 2010 shared PIA. and replace the component id. the add in should be working fine.
