Excel 2013 PowerPivot - Couldn't load the Data Model

[News Bot]

Hi,

I'm having issues trying to get PowerPivot to work in Excel 2013. I have a fresh install of Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. Have downloaded Office 2013 Professional Plus 64 bit from Microsoft Volume Licence Centre and installed it, and whenever

I try to click "Manage" on the Data Model it gives me the following error message.

"We couldn't load the Data Model. This may be because the Data Model in this workbook is damaged."

A quick Bing search seems to indicate that this can be caused by having SSAS installed but this is a fresh install machine. I literally only have 6 items installed, most of them drivers.

• ATI Catalyst Install Manager
  
• Broadcom Gigbit NetLink Controller
  
• Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013
  
• Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable (x64)
  
• Realtek High Definition Audio Driver
  
• VirtualCloneDrive
  

Can anyone shed any light on what the problem could be?!?
