SolidWorks Installation Student Excel

Hello everyone!
I'm trying to install the student version of SolidWorks with a legal serial key, of course, but during the installation, I get this error message:

No valid version of Microsoft Excel was detected.

SOLIDWORKS Inspection requires that a version of Excel be installed to generate inspection reports. The installation can continue, but some functions may be unavailable until the issue is resolved.

Plot twist? I have a (still legal) version of Office 365 with Excel that works fine.

Any ideas for a solution?

Thanks, friends!

Try launching the installation of SolidWorks with Excel open in the background...

Since version 365 is subject to an internet connection for authorization, perhaps if the latter is not active, SolidWorks refuses to consider the background program (Excel) as valid.
