Had the exact same problem, only after installing dcom98 get two error messages upon trying to install solver via the addin menu in excel: "Invalid data format" and then after clicking OK: "Microsoft Office Excel cannot access the file 'c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\Library\SOLVER\SOLVER.XLA"
dcom98 won't work with Office2003 and up since they require Windows 2000 or later. ole32 dlls provided by dcom98 don't work in NT mode.
Please help me! there is almost no documentation on solver, and its the only thing keeping me from being completely windows free!!
