FAQ
Why am I receiving an error message while trying to install DealMaven products?
Verify that you have admin rights on the computer to which you are installing DealMaven products. Full admin rights are required to install DealMaven products. If you don’t have full admin rights please speak to your computer administrator or IT department.
Why am I receiving a message telling me to close PowerPoint, Excel, or Word?
In order to install DealMaven products, all Microsoft Office products need to be completely closed. Please ensure that all Microsoft Office processes are not running. If you are still receiving this message after closing PowerPoint, Excel, Word, and Outlook, then a quick restart of your system will ensure that there are no hidden processes running and you should be able to proceed with the installation.
Please contact our support team if you require assistance.
I have closed Word before installing, but the installer is telling me it’s still open, why is this?
Please ensure that Microsoft Outlook is not running or minimized in your tray. Outlook uses Word as its default e-mail editor, so in order to install DealMaven products, Outlook must be closed along with PowerPoint, Excel, and Word.
