Cannot add IBM Framework for Office COM Add-in

Troubleshooting


Problem

IBM Planning Analytics ribbon does not appear in Excel.  Excel Add-ins are showing properly however COM Add-ins are not showing "IBM Framework for Office" Add-in.
Checking the registry entries for CognosOffice12.Connection are showing values set to 3. 
Adding the COM add-in (cognosofficeshim12.dll) manually does nothing as it is still not visible in the COM add-ins window. 

Symptom

IBM Planning Analytics ribbon does not appear in Excel.
