Unfortunately it seems like xlw does not support my machine specifications, I can not even run the xlw installer.Is anyone aware of a tutorial on how to build xl dlls for 64 bit vista using vs2008? I am now basically tired of "short cuts" and would consider doing this properly from scratch, however I do not really know where to start..
