What ChilkatDotNet files and/or runtime libraries do I distribute to cover an XLL for Excel 2010 (32-bit) running on Windows 10 (64-bit)?
Please advise?

Actually -- the Excel Class Module is statically linked -- so no VC++ runtime redist should be required..
Ignore this original response:
Good question -- I'll update the web page where the Excel module is downloaded with this information:
The Excel module is compiled (built) with MSVC++ 2010, and therefore requires the MSVC++ 2010 runtime redist libs to be present on the computer.
(Dear Microsoft: For goodness sake, why don't you just put all the VC++ runtimes in the automatic Windows Updates??? They're not big, and I don't see any security risk. Save millions of hours of peoples lives...)
See http://cknotes.com/chilkat-net-assemblies-matching-visual-studio-versions-to-net-framework-versions-to-vc-runtime-versions/ for links to the Microsoft download URLs for the various runtime redists.
Just to clarify, what additional libraries should I distribute for each of the following scenarios (using ChilkatDotNet45):

I'm confused. Are you using the Chilkat .NET assembly (ChilkatDotNet45.dll), or the Excel Module?
I thought it was the Excel Module: http://www.chilkatsoft.com/excel.asp

No. I am using Excel-DNA to create the custom Excel ribbon and required functions and handing off to ChilkatDotNet45 to query a REST API. Everything works swimmingly on my development environment - Windows (64) & Excel (64) but fails gracefully (no errors or warnings) on the customer environment - Windows (64) & Excel (32)?

You would need the VC++ 2012 runtime redist. (If using the 32-bit ChilkatDotNet45, then you need the 32-bit runtime. Likewise for 64-bit.)
