Excel2LaTeX on Mac - "Invalid procedure call or argument" error

Question

I know several topics are dealing with errors related to Excel2Latex but I could not solve my problem so I take a chance here.

I have a French version of Excel 2011 (14.6.6) on Mac OS.X.El Capitan (10.11.6) and I've tried unsuccessfully to run Excel2Latex on an Excel table I want to convert.

I followed the steps described at https://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/excel2latex/ but when I run it, I have an error saying "invalid procedure call or argument" ("argument ou procédure d'appel invalide", in french) and the debugger pops up.

Has anybody solved this issue recently ?

Thanks for your help !

Try the latest version. If no luck, you can open an issue with the developer, it seems there were/are some issues with localized Excel versions. — alwaysask, Aug 10 '16 at 20:39
Please don't download the .xla file directly from the program sources, as that isn't guaranteed to be up-to-date. Much better to check for a new release, and then to check the issues to see if a temporary hotfix has been issued. — Chel, Aug 11 '16 at 23:18

I'm the package developer. This is related to issue #6 on GitHub, which is caused by a corrupted PROJECTwm stream, which ultimately traces back to the tool I use to package the .xla file. This is fixed in the recent v3.4.2 release.
