    To uninstall Excel VSTO Add Ins, open the Control Panel, select Add or Remove Programs. Locate the Add In(s) and click Uninstall. As a best practice, it is always suggested to clear the cache before reinstalling.

    Note:
    The first Add In installed determines the .NET runtime loaded for Excel.
    1. If you are upgrading SpotlightXL from a prior release, you may run into the following error during installation.

    This issue occurs because the cache is not properly cleared. Clear the cache by running the following command at the command prompt:

    Shell

    Then install the latest version of SpotlightXL.
