WPS Office (KingSoft Spreadsheets,
ET.exe) does not fully support the COM add-in loading mechanism Excel-DNA uses for ribbons and CTPs, causing a misleading error dialog on every load — even though worksheet functions work fine.Changes
ExcelComAddInHelper.cs— AddedIsRunningUnderWps()helper that detects the host process isET.EXE(wrapped in try-catch for restricted environments), and added anelse ifbranch in thecatch (Exception ex)handler ofLoadComAddInto downgrade the log level fromErrortoInfowhen running under WPS.This follows the exact same pattern already used for the Excel
/Kcommand-line switch:The failure is still logged at
Infolevel, so diagnostics are preserved without surfacing a confusing error dialog to end users.
