BERT2 instalation problem

Open fabiocs8 opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

Hello. I Installed BERT2 using default parameters in Win 10. When I first opened Excel afterwards, neither BERT Ribbon popped out nor it appeared in another ribbon. Then I went to file >options > addins and noticed that BERT2 Ribbon appeared inside "Innactive Application Addins" as a COM Addin. Going inside COM addin, BERT2 Ribbon Menu status was " Load Behavior: Not Loaded. A runtime error occurred during the loading of the COM Add-in". Then I tried to add it, but nothing happened. What do I do to get it installed? Thanks.

I am having the same issue. I'm running 64-bit excel on a 64-bit operating system. Any advice on what could be wrong?

I encountered the same problem as OP. I figured out that the Windows Defender Application Surface Reduction Rules were preventing Excel from calling a new process. I was able to get BERT working by whitelisting the BERT2 directory in the ASR rules. In Group Policy, this is found in Windows Components/Windows Defender Antivirus/Windows Defender Exploit Guard/Attack Surface Reduction.

I was able to see the specific blocked events in Event Viewer after following the instructions here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-exploit-guard/event-views-exploit-guard
