• Zekske Excel not refreshing http-deployed assembly

  After updating http-deployed customization assembly, excel fails to get the new version of assembly via http. I have originally provisioned the document with a HTTP-based location of the customization assembly. Then I tested that it opens the document and loads assembly. Since then I modified the assembly to add some code, and: 1. Re-deployed the assembly to same http location. 2. Provisioned xls file to point to http location.
