SQL Dump After Either Upgrade or Downgrade the PowerPivot

Recently I upgraded the PowerPivot Excel add on to the version 2 to work with new DAX. I experienced excel crush when I opened the workbook.  The error message showed as:

SQLDUMPER.EXE
Unable to open file \\?\Program Files\Microsoft Analysis Services\AS OLEDB\10\FlightRecorderCurrent.trac error 2

I tried to uninstall and re-install the program, but it didn’t work.  I have to manually delete the directory C:\Program Files\Microsoft Analysis Services\AS OLEDB\ and repair the PowerPivot, then it works.

Same situation happened again when I downgrade my PowerPivot back to version 1 to be compatible with my client’s environment.  Once I manually remove the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Analysis Services\AS OLEDB\ directory and then repair the program, it works again.
