Power Map Won't Remain Installed

Trying to install Power Map on my Lenovo Carbon X1 Windows 8.1(for 64 bit Excel). Each time I start Excel I'm required to go to COM ADD-INS to get Power Map to show up in the ribbon. Then when it is in the ribbon, I get an error.

I've un and reinstalled Office many times to try and get this to work.

The Map button repeatedly disappears from the insert tab after you have enabled it, and closed Excel. You can try the workaround which can be found from the link below:http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/known-iss%20ues-for-the-microsoft-power-map-preview-for-excel-HA104116685.aspx

  1. Close all instances of Excel. Press Win+R
  2. Type: Regedit
    Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\Excel\Addins\ExcelPlugInShell.Connect and change the value of LoadBehavior to 3.
    Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Excel\Addins\\ExcelPlugInShell.Connect. If the registry key exists, change the value of LoadBehavior to 3.
  3. Start Excel and enable Power Map by clicking File > Options > Add-Ins. In the Manage box, pick COM Add-Ins and click Go.
