The implementation is via a setup.exe file containing the code. It is
not shown as Excel Addin oder Com Addin. I tried repairing without
change of the loading behavior.

I suspect, then, that your machine's install of Excel (or Office) got
damaged during the 're-imaging'. I had the same thing done to this
machine when I replaced the motherboard and hard drive. It works just
fine and so to all my apps (also use exe-automated instances of Excel
that are modified to the 9s)!

Have you tried 'repairing' Office via Control Panel yet?
