I get the following warning when installing 18.2 from 16.1

Compile error in hidden module. cUtility. This error commonly occurs when code is incompatable with the version, platform or architecture.

Do i ignore the warning and continue?

I ignored in order to complete the install. 

I now get an additional error when I open an excel doc. "Office connector is not compatable with 64 bit excel"

A related issue that I can eliminate by disabling the connector but still not sure of the implications for Timberlline, if any.

The last piece of this (i hope)

It turns out that Sage (as far as I can tell) always required a 32bit office application. Oddly we've been running successfully for 5 plus years on version 16.1.7 with the 2010 64 bit so I don't know what's changed.

Any ideas out there in sage land?
