Xcelsius 4.5 Down-level Hot Fixes?

[Former Member]

I have 4.5 installed and upgraded to hot fix 10. Now, when I drop an accordion menu in and open the properties, there is no 'source data' field shown at all.

Another user upgraded to hot fix 10 and now she can't export to PowerPoint. (We're on Office 2007.)

Now, I had an Xcelsius file corrupt to the point it won't open but crashes out with an Excel error.

Is it possible to obtain down-level hot fix files? I need to get to at least hot fix 2 in order to work with the Excel 2007 .xlsx files but I don't think some of the higher versions fix anything I'm immediately concerned with.

Thanks for any information you can share as to the location of the older hot fix files.

I don't think the previous 4.5 Hotfixes are publicly available. However, all of the Hotfixes are cummulative. Meaning by downloading and successfully installing Hotfix 10 you have installed Hotfixes 1-9 as well. You should also verify that your installation was successful. If it was, when you go to Help>About Xcelsius the build/version number should reflect Hotfix 10 (4.2.5.9).

This is really more of a guess, but you may need to check your Flash Player version. CX 4.5 is recommended to work best with Flash Player 7. Any version more current and it may be advisable to uninstall Flash and reinstall version 7. Instructions for how to do this have been posted previously or you can search the Adobe website.

Okay, now I think I've got everything in there.

I found out that I wasn't seeing the 'soruce data' field because I hadn't set it to need values.

As for the hotfix issue, I found this post that mentioned renaming the InstallShield folder to allow the hotfix to run properly when the hotfix is complaining about an incomplete installation. It also mentions the registry edit in case your issue is the message telling you it's already been installed. It worked great..
