Installation

There is an Install.bat script included with the addins which will copy all the XML files and the DLL files into correct folder needed by Alteryx. As Windows UAC protects this folder if within Program Files, the install script will ask for permission to install. The script will also unblock all files, as Windows will possibly have blocked them as they were downloaded from the internet. This process requires Windows 7 or later.

Alteryx looks for XML files in a folder called FormulaAddIn within the RuntimeData folder inside the bin directory of the Alteryx install. For an admin install, this will typically be within Program Files (for example C:\Program Files\Alteryx\bin\RuntimeData).

If you have a non-admin install of Alteryx, it is possible the install script won't be able to find the Alteryx folder. In this case or if the bat file fails you will need to copy the files manually. To do this, copy all the XML and DLL files to %AlteryxBinDirectory%\RuntimeData\FormulaAddIn.
