It is used to launch an Excel session which opens QuantLibXL.xla (so you don't have to install the addin in Excel) and then performs the selected actions (e.g. bootstrap the Yield Curves, the swaption vol, etc). It is able to do this in a very customizable way, i.e. it can load multiple xlas from different locations, use the spreadsheet folder you prefer, etc, using resources and folders which are allowed to be scattered around your network. Different configuration can be stored for quick launching and few of them can be maintained by superuser so that normal user just use them without been able to customize them. It is mainly used to deploy QuantLibXL.xla along with other xlas in a trading environment. ciao -- Nando ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ QuantLib-dev mailing list [hidden email] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/quantlib-dev |

Wow. This is really cool. I saw something similar to launch some pricing spreadsheets, but a loader add-in had to be installed first. You seems to be some steps ahead. Can't wait to test it.

A demo of the Launcher is available at this link: http://www.nazcatech.be/launcher.html There are a huge number of variables - firewall configuration etc. - which could cause it not to work at any given site. But if you're curious it's worth a try.
