In the simplest case an xll has no external dependencies - you start
Excel, load the xll, and away you go.

If your xll stops working when you install it on a non-development
machine, I'd suspect one of two problems
1) you've compiled the xll in such a way as to create a run-time
dependency.  For example, you linked the xll to some lib such that the
xll depends on the corresponding dll at runtime
2) There's some other difference between your dev box and the box you
installed to - for example different versions of Excel - xlls can be
flaky about different versions of Excel and not all of the differences
are documented, debugging is the only way.
