    @Varga Zsolt ,

    I download the Data streamer from your link, I get the same error after I run "setup.exe". The related log shows "Error: An error occurred trying to download 'https://educationworkshop.azurewebsites.net/datastreamer/Microsoft%20Data%20Streamer%20for%20Excel.vsto'."
    The URL seems to be unavailable.

    As this issue is more about "Data streamer", I would suggest you open a Support Ticket for assistance. As issues with "office-excel-itpro" focus on general issues with Excel.
    Thanks for your understanding.

    The following is my reserch, if needed, you may have a look.
    What version of Office do you have?

    • If you are a Microsoft 365 subscriber, make sure you have the latest version of Office, Data Streamer is available for free to all Microsoft 365 subscribers.
      To enable this add-in on Excel for Microsoft 365, please refer to the article "Enable Data Streamer in Excel".
    • If you are not a Microsoft 365 subscriber, please make sure, you have the Office 2016 desktop apps. More information, please refer to "Downloading Data-Streamer".

    • Bessides, according to the article above, I seach "Data Streamer" on Microsoft Garage, and find a UWP "Vernier Data Streamer", please read its Description to check whether it is helpful.

    Microsoft often LOCKs a issue that is still unresolved. This prevents others from adding on to the (often) poor answer...or to indicate inconsistencies in Microsoft documentation. For example the Excel "Data Streamer" is supposed to be available for Excel 2016, but when you follow the instruction links it only guides you to Office 365. so you need to either offer if for FREE as advertised, or remove the incorrect links.
