    Can't Get Invisible Basic to Run in Excel 2000 or 2010

    I downloaded Invisible Basic (a free VBA code obfuscator) and installed the add-in to Excel 2000 and Excel 2010. When I run the add-in (to obfuscate my VBA code), the debugger stops at the following 3 places:

    ' VBA within Excel 97 lacks "Debug.Assert". For compatibility with
    ' all major Excel versions, we therefore emulate it:
    Private Sub assert(condition As Boolean)
    If (Not condition) Then Stop <<<<<<<<<<<debugger points here

    assert Dir(ThisWorkbook.Path & PS() & IB_VISIBLE_KEYWORDS_FILENAME) <> ""
    m_visible_depth = 1 <<<<<<<<<<<debugger points here

    Application.DisplayAlerts = True <<<<<<<<<<<debugger points here

    ...and then I get a message box that says "Error #53 during 'Save Invisibly As': File not found"

    I get these same responses in both Excel 2000 and Excel 2010. Can anyone tell me what's going wrong here?

    I just had this same problem with a new installation of IB for my Excel 2010 setup. The problem occurs because you don't have the required file 'visible_names.txt' in the same folder as the add-on file InvisibleBasic.xla

    Hope this helps,

    Frank
