Update the above file so that the value for ArcGIS Connection is pointing to a valid Portal for ArcGIS path:<add key="ArcGISConnection" value="<a href="http://www.arcgis.com" target="_blank">http://www.arcgis.com</a>" />OR<add key="ArcGISConnection" value="a valid Portal for ArcGIS URL" />3. Save the file, and open Microsoft Excel.4. Attempt to either go to the Esri Maps Tab or view the Esri Maps Configuration at File > Esri Maps.5. Confirm that no crash occurs.
