KNIME Excel support didn´t work

[Bjoern_H]

After update to V4.7 the Excel extension won´t work anymore?
Reinstallation also failed.

@Bjoern_H welcome to the KNIME forum. Do you have an Apple Silicon machine (M1, M2) by any chance:

problem when install nodepit of 4.7

@eddy0620 could you try and install the “wrong” version of knime 4.7 the one for Mac with Intel processors and run that thru Rosetta which should work but somewhat slower? And see if you can install the extension then? I also have some problems with extensions (namely Parquet and big data formats, AP-19894) and wonder if they might be related.

[Bjoern_H]

No, i have a Intel Processor

@Bjoern_H when you start your KNIME do you see your additionally installed components on the splash screen? Or is that empty / white?

[Bjoern_H]

Everything is ok with the splash screen

Hi @Bjoern_H,

I see that you have a special P&G extension installed, it might not be compatible with 4.7.0 yet and interfere with the loading of the Excel Extension. I recommend downloading a fresh Analytics Platform from our site, then install the extensions you need into it. Then you can test if installing the P&G extension creates this problem.

best,
Gabriel

I have the same Issue
P&G Extension seems not the Culprit
Here is my Splash screen

Any Idea

@CHKnime do you use Apple Silicon (M1, M2) by any chance?

Big Data File Format extension not available for M1 MacBook Pro

There currently seem to be a problem with Apple Silicon and Big Data formats in the native KNIME 4.7. There is a ticket that might also cover your case: AP-19894. The Intel version thru Rosetta just works fine but a bit slower.

It,s an standard Intel System under Win11.
Meanwhile i reinstalled Knime and some extensions im using , still everything works.
By need i will Install more extensions in future- lets see what happens.
My actual spalsh screen looks like.
