cReW macro install keeps failing

Hello,

I have a very frustrating problem that I haven't been able to figure out in a week. I read the discussions, but I am still not able to run workflows that employ cReW macros, even after I installed and uninstalled. I currently have the zipped folder contents extracted to:

C:\ProgramData\Alteryx\DataProducts\AddOnData\Macros. However, even after clicking install, the workflow does not recognize the macro.

Do I need to extract this to a shared network folder, where my colleagues and I access this workflow? If so, where exactly?

Please help with this very frustrating issue.

Thanks,

John

Follow the install instructions:

1. Download

2. Extract to a permanent directory. Do not run install from the zip. That causes the temp directory install.
3. use the uninstall option to uninstall or install.

cheers,

@anthony123 ,

I've sent you a private message with a link to a zoom meeting. I'll review your installation with you shortly if you can join me.

C:\ProgramData\Alteryx\DataProducts\AddOnData\Macros\CReW.ini

Please open with notepad and let me know where the path=

Cheers,

Hi @MarqueeCrew, @anthony123 ,

I've also noticed this - it doesn't happen every time, but there does see to be an issue where you have to reinstall the macros for Alteryx to recognise it.

Let me know if you both come to a resolution?

Regards,

Tom

Hi @MarqueeCrew I was able to resolve it by going to User Settings > Macros and adding the path of where the Macro is installed in our shared folder. I will let you know if this resolves the issue with another workflow stored on my drive that requires me to constantly run the install.
