DEAFrontier uses Excel Solver as the engine for solving the DEA models. In order to run the DEAFrontier software, Excel Solver must be installed in the Excel. In Excel 2007 or 2010, the user should see Solver in the Data Tab. Under Excel 2007 and earlier versions, the Excel Solver Parameters dialog box has to be displaced once before the DEAFrontier software is loaded. Otherwise, the DEAFrontier software may not run.

(A few cases have been reported that Excel encounters a runtime error and has to stop the program when the Risk Solver Platform is installed. The causes of that is due to the Solver product. Users who plan to use the DEAFrontier under other Solver products are strongly advised to test the free DEAFrontier version under Risk Solver Platform.)

(As suggested by LongFei Chen from National Chiayi University (

Taiwan

), one may solve the above issue by packing the DEAFrontier into a .rar or .zip file and try to run it from a WinRAR or WinZIP environment. )

DEAFrontier offers a version that can be used with OpenSolver (www.opensolver.org). In this case, DEAFrontier uses the COIN-OR CBC optimization engine via OpenSolver which does not set limits.
