Visual Basic runtime error 1004 after updating Excel for Mac 365 yesterday

I updated Excel for Mac (365) yesterday. I now get a pop up that says:

                            Visual Basic for Applications

Run-time error '1004':

Method 'Name" of object 'Addin' failed.

Help End

When I click End, Excel seems to work ok, but I'm not sure whether this VB error will cause problems with my complex spreadsheets.

It seems the update either (a) has a bug, or (b) didn't load correctly (although it verified itself before opening after the update).

How can I delete Excel and re-download it?

Thanks

    It seems that the add-in "Acrobatexceladdin" is the problem (for me).

    No more error for me after i disabled that under Tools -> Excel Add-ins...

    It happens that Excel has 2 pulldowns for add-ins:

    From the toolbar: insert>>add-ins does *not* give access to the acrobat add-in

    Tools>>Excel Add-ins does give access to a set of add-ins, including the offending acrobatexceladin. Uncheck it and restart Excel.
