title: BizTalk BAM Excel "Unable to get resource string"
body: <p>When I click "BAM Activity" in Excel (2013 32-bit, running on Win 2008/R2 BT2016) I get one of two issues: </p>
  
  <p>1) Variable not defined (on lvwTraces) </p>
  
  <p>I tried solution from site below (changing Active-X trust settings), 
  which sometimes get me past this to error #2, but sometimes not... </p>

  <p>2) Unable to get resource string </p>
  
  <p>I saw one posts about installing multi-language pack and setting language or region options. </p>

  <p>We are in the United States and not using any special language options.  Looks like the language pack was for people who need non-English?? 
  My Control-Panel Region Settings shows English (United States). </p>
  
  <p>I've never gotten past these errors to see the BAM menu. </p>
  
  <p>When they talk about setting the language, I thought I would show my language settings in Excel here, as I'm not sure where else to set this, or if that is even the problem at all.<br>

  <p>My Control Panel options are also set to English.
