I have tried to re-install .NET 4 client profile then re-install VSTO 4 but still no gain. Any suggestions?

do you have admin right on the machine? – Brijesh Mishra
yes. UAC is not disabled though – woodykiddy
VSTO does support .NET client profile. – Keith
In that case - it sounds like Office needs to be reinstalled or repaired. You should also get the latest Windows Installer. – SliverNinja - MSFT
thanks everyone for giving comments and ideas. I got it working on my virtual machine. I did whole a lot re-installations but all worth it. – woodykiddy

This has been reported in another forum. Apparently if no components of Office 2010 have been installed in the machine in particular the message can be ignored. I certainly found that in my case that I only have Excel 2013, there were no issues with the Add in and it works fine despite the error message.
