NodeXL Basic Excel Template error

[GavinRayner]

I’m trying to install NodeXL Basic Template on a Windows 10 Enterprise laptop (Version 1803, OS build 17134.345) with MS Excel 2016 (16.0.4738.1000) 64-bit.
There are no errors when I run NodeXLBasicExcelTemplate2018Setup.exe
Then when I try to open the NodeXL template I get:
“Microsoft Office Customization Installer
Updating Office customization
There was an error during installation.
Name: NodeXL Excel Template
From: http://www.nodexlgraphgallery.org/NodeXLBasicSetup/Smrf.NodeXL.ExcelTemplate.vsto

I suspect it’s something to do with .NET versions? Here’s what I have installed:
C:\MyDocs>NET_Detector_cli.exe

Raymondcc .NET Detector CLI

Installed:
.NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2
.NET Framework 3.0 Service Pack 2
.NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1
.NET Framework 4.7.2

Any suggestion greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Gavin

I am receiving the same exact error when first opening NodeXL. Was there a solution to this issue ever found?
