Problem Description:
Consider the following scenario:
• You have a server that has the Business Intelligence Indexing Connector feature installed in Microsoft FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint.
• You have to crawl Microsoft Excel 2010 files that contain PowerPivot content.
• You install the PowerPivot add-in for Excel on the server.
In this scenario, the PowerPivot add-in for Excel does not install.
Additionally, you receive the following error message:
Setup is missing prerequisites:
This add-in requires Excel 2010. If you have 32-bit Excel, you must install the 32-bit version of the add-in. If not, you must install the 64-bit version. This add-in requires that the Office Shared Features component of Microsoft Office 2010 is installed.

I would be more than happy to help you as well as resolves your issues, Thank you J
Note: When installing PowerPivot add-in for Excel, you don’t look at whether you have a 32-bit machine or a 64-bit machine; instead, you should look at whether you have 32-bit Excel or 64-bit Excel. In other words, if you are using the 32-bit version of Excel 2010, you must use the 32-bit version of PowerPivot and if you are using the 64-bit version of Excel 2010, you must use the 64-bit version of PowerPivot.
