Solution to "VBE6EXT.OLB could not be loaded." Error

I got a VBE6EXT.OLB could not be loaded error when I wanted to install this really great tool-set for Excel that I've been using for years form http://www.asap-utilities.com on my new machine which has MS Office 2010 installed.

I found the solution posted on the Solidworks forum after some Google digging:

Make sure the following items exist in your registry:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{0002E157-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}]
 
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{0002E157-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\5.3]
