NOT i’m afraid…

There is only one Excel installation per computer supported. There are a few workarounds:

  1. Uninstall one Excel version on your computer.
  2. Setup a Citrix server and do your controller work from there (wit one excel version of cource) ;D
  3. Install one excel version on VMware on your computer
