Determine whether to install SigmaXL 32-bit or 64-bit
The SigmaXL installation file automatically chooses the appropriate bit version of SigmaXL to install for your version of Excel. In some circumstances, installation can only be completed through the use of an executable installation file (.exe).
There are two different executable versions of the SigmaXL installer for Windows: 32-bit and 64-bit.

The 64-bit version of SigmaXL is only required by users with a 64-bit installation of Office 2010 or later. **It is important to note that the bit version of Windows is irrelevant, as it is possible to be using a 64-bit version of Windows with a 32-bit version of Office. All other users should use the 32-bit version of SigmaXL. |
The method to verify the installed version of Excel does not differ much between each version. Generally, click File > Account > About Excel:
Or, in the case of Excel 2010, File > Help:
In the above scenarios, a user would want to install the 32-bit version of SigmaXL, available for download in the link below:
