App-V 5 Client + Office 2013 (Administrator OK, user Not OK)

Dear MS,
I've installed App-V environment onto our Windows 2008 RDS farm with your tech documents successfully.
Then I test it with a simple sequenced app (Mozilla Firefox and XML notepad) and it ran successfully.
I've also sequenced Office 2013 with ODT (Office Deployment Tool), no errors at the end.
But now the problems starts: when I log in as a normal user, then Office 2013 will show in Start menu, but disappears after a short time.
Logging in as Administrator doesn't have the issue, Office 2013 works perfectly.
The MS Office 2013 has been sequenced onto Win 2008 and 2012.
(yes, I know the 2012 sequencer is not ok for 2008 RDS, but the Firefox and Notepad were sequenced on Win 2012 and ran perfectly on Win 2008).
I did'n found related information on the technet forums.
What could it be? Kind of permissions on VFS? Where can I fix it? Or is the issue related to the sequencer?
ps. also tried installing MS hot fix 4 (and 5) for App-V 5 client, but the issues keep coming back.

What messages are in the App-V log in event viewer that might be applicable?
The message beneath viewed when an user log in. As an administrator, the event doesn't show up
Part or all packages publish failed.
published: 2 (Firevox and XML notepad)
failed: 1 (Office 2013)
Please check the error events of 'Configure/Publish Package' before this message for the details of the failure.
EventID 19104
Are you redirecting the Start Menu to the network?
Nope, the start menu shows only default applications when the user logs in.
The App-V Folder in Start Menu from Firefox and XML notepad are visible, but the office folder doesn't come up.
As an administrator, both Firefox, XML notepad AND Office folders are visible.
-but-
When I use Start Menu folder redirection, no one App-V application is visible (Event shows that Applications are loaded), how can I fix it here?
What are you using to manage user profiles?
I use AD User and Computer configuration to manage profiles
Does the application run if you browse to the EXE in Windows Explorer?
What does this to do with app-v? Because when you sequence the app, then is it no more EXE.
But, these EXE runs flawless in Windows Explorer (so there is no problem with the OS and the application).
Please help?

Office 2013 Administrative Templates & GPO

Hey, everyone!
I’m sure someone here will know what I’m doing wrong, so hopefully it’s something simple.
This is my first attempt to utilize Office 2013 Administrative Templates in a GPO. I downloaded the templates from Microsoft (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35554)
and extracted them.
I then created a new GPO so that the policy folder was created in logonserver\sysvol\%userdnsdomain%\policies\Adm.
In that folder, I copy the appropriate .admx files and the en-us folder.
Then, when I go to edit that GPO, I get an error:
The following error has occurred in \\Hudsonchapel.org\SysVol\Hudsonchapel.org\Policies\<GUID>\Adm\proj15.admx on line 1: Error
51 Unexpected keyword.
Found <?xml
Expected: CLASS, CATEGORY,
[strings]
The file can not be loaded.
This occurs for any .admx file I’ve tried.
I’m not sure what else to try. I’ve followed what I know to do.
Could someone help me figure out what I’m doing wrong?
Thanks!
-Eric

Hi Eric,
>>I then created a new GPO so that the policy folder was created in logonserver\sysvol\%userdnsdomain%\policies\Adm.
In that folder
How is it going? Did we follow the article provided by Zanderol24 to create the Central Store for admx files? The location of central store is:
%systemroot%\sysvol\domain\policies\PolicyDefinitions
Regarding ADMX files, the following article can be referred to for more information.

App-V and Microsoft Office 2013 Home Premium O365 Edition - Is it possible?

Hello,
Over the past couple of days I have been trying to sequence Office into an App-V app. As far as I can tell, the app is created successfully, the problem is publishing the app and actually installing it on clients. I have tried to get this to work using multiple
methods, and the commonality between all of them is that the XML files seem to be unreadable or corrupt? Here are a couple of screenshots that show the problem.
App-V Management Console:
PoweShell:
I have followed various guides, and tried sequencing the app on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. Has someone had success deploying HomePremium using App-V? If so, can some one tell me where I'm going wrong? Any help is appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
Mike

Hi Mike,
What's the specific build number of your Office? Looks like the same issue as this thread:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/98e5508b-7898-4b2b-b24d-3fd0194bbbc7/office-2013-with-visio-and-project-error-package-manifest-is-invalid?forum=mdopappv
As suggested in the thread, please try to add the Version attribute to the
Add element to specify an older version number, then try again and see if it's an build issue.
Since your query is directly related to APP-V, I would also suggest you to try the forum of
Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V), where you will get the most qualified pool of respondents.

Office 2013 Administrative Template files (ADMX/ADML) and Office Customization Tool

When I download the Office 2013 Admin Template files (ADMX/ADML) and OCT I get 3 files. Admin, AMDX and a excel spreadsheet. Is the Admin
folder the ADML folder? Reason I ask is b/c I'm trying to disable the Offie 2013 Startup screen via GPO and I have been directed to save the ADMX to %systemroot%PolicyDefinitions and ADML to %systemroot%PolicyDefinitions\en-us
on my base image that I am creating so obviously the ADMX is straight forward, but not the ADML since all I see is Admin. thanks,
SSC

Hi,
When you downloaded an Office Administrative Template files, please extract them to your driver, say
D:\. You need to copy all .admx file under D:\..\ADMX folder into
%systemroot%\PolicyDefinitions. It’s a root-level folder, which contains all language-neutral ADMX files.
Then please copy all .adml files under D:\...\ADML\en-us into
%systemroot%\PolicyDefinitions\EN-US. This subfolder contains the language-specific ADML resource files. You can create subfolder of %systemroot\PolicyDefinitions for each language that you will use.
For how to load the Administrative Template files, please follow the instructions for "Loading the ADMX templates" in Use Group Policy to enforce Office 2010 settings:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc179081.aspx . Although the article is for Office 2010, the Administrative Templates information also applies to Office 2013.

Office 2013 Home and Business not updating

I have two PCs on my network that I bought from Dell. Both came with a license for Office 2013 Home and Business. Office trial version was already on the machines and i just registered and activated the trial version using the licenses I was given from Dell.
Everything was fine until I was troubleshooting a duplicate email issue in Outlook on of the machines. At this time I noticed Office didn't appear to be on the latest version of click-to-run. I am relatively unfamiliar with click-to-run Office 2013 and the
changes to how it updates. Apparently it does this automatically. Problem is these two machines don't appear to be updating at all. I can't find an update history just a version number. I found online and performed the following troubleshooting steps:
1.) Disable then re-Enable Updates by going into File -> Account -> Update Options
- this seamed to start the downloading of updates but they never installed. That window telling me they were
downloading just goes away and nothing happens.
2.) If "1" doesn't work try an Online Repair.
- the repair begins and ends before completing saying "Something happened". This effectively breaks the install and
a following dialog box explains that Office was uninstalled.
3.) Re-install Office
- but have to run a cleanup tool first to remove remnants of previous install. I then find it difficult to find an
installer that will work at all kept getting "Something happened" message. Finally Dell support found an installer that
works. however even after the install Office will not update.

Per your post, it seems that you activate the Office 2013 Home and Business trial version by Dell provided. I can confirm the update service is available for Office 365 subscription users, but I am not sure whether it is working for the trail version.
You'd better confirm it with you Dell provider or post a new thread in
Office 365 forum, thanks.

Office 2013 Upload Center do not display in notification area

Hello,
I am wanting to hide the Upload centre system task tray icon for Office 2013 on all of our pc's in my organisation, I have found many articles on disabling the service from starting, but this is not my intention.
Instead I wish to use either a registry setting (that I'll set in either the OCT or GPP), an option in the 2013 OCT tool or a setting in the Office 2013 group policy templates to just untick the box that says "Display icon in notification area"
which will still allow the Upload Center to work and be launched from the start menu but will free up Task Tray real estate.
If anyone knows what registry setting will do this that would be great, ideally a machine based setting so I can include it with the OCT, however if it is a user setting I will use Group Policy Preferences to deploy it.

Hi,
I captured the registry key by ProcessMonitor, you can test if this works for you:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\FileIO
Value:DisableNotificationIcon
If the value is set to 1, the icon is not displayed; if the value is set to 0, the icon is displayed.

Power Map in Excel 2013 (Office 2013 Professional Plus) will not show up in ribbon

I have tried literally everything and nothing works.
I can download the preview version of the Powermap addin and it works.
But by default the add-in will not show up in the ribbon.
I uninstalled , reinstalled, re-ran SP1 of office 2013. double checked the load behaviour,
ran a repair.. nothing works.
Powerview displays fine, Bing Maps... just not Power Map

Hi Kenneth,
Since you are using Office 2013 Professional Plus, you can only use Power Map Preview for Excel 2013, which is an unsupported add-in. See:

Server based Office 2013 - New template, template not showing header content in one work station only

This is for Server based Office 2013 - using Word
All computer work stations are running Windows 7 professional
I have Word 97 - 2003 templates saved on the shared drive on the server. I have these templates "pinned" to the opening page on all server user accounts, so when anyone starts word on the server anyone can see the company templates.
On most of the work stations, when I create a new document from one of my templates - Word successfully shows all the Header and Footer details.
But on one work station there is no content in the Header or Footer, no matter which server account is signed into the server on that workstation.
Any suggestion

... ... no matter which server account is signed into the server on that workstation.
Any suggestion
Do you mean it happens regardless of which acount signed in? If so, maybe update the workstation?

Office 2013 - "Server Versions could not be retrieved"

Hi all,
is there a reason why in case of spaces in the site url the previous versions of office documents could not be retrieved in the corresponding office program under file?
It all works fine with a site that does not have spaces in the url. When renaming the site (with blank in url) it only comes up with the message "Server versions could not be retrieved".
Backstage Area without blanks in the URL
Backstage area with blanks inside the URL:
System: SharePoint 2010 Version: 14.0.7108.5000
Office 2013 Version: 15.0.4551.1509 MSO 15.0.4551.1007 32bit
Thanks for any help!

Hi fluxxer,
According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you used Office 2013 to open the document in a library at SharePoint 2010 site whose url contained the spaces.
I did a test as the followings:
Open a site and create a new subsite named ‘testforblank’, the url is
http://sp:3878/testforblank/
Then upload some word and excel files to SharedDcoument library in the subsite
Then open these files with Office 2013, everything was fine
Change the URl to http://sp:3878/test for blank/
Open these files with Office 2013, everything also was fine
Then I created a new subsite , the url is
http://sp:3878/test blank/
Reproduced the step 2-3, everything was fine
Please clear the data cache:
IE: Internet Options->Delete browsing history on exit
Office: Office 2013 Upload Center, select ‘All Cached Files’ after ‘Refresh’, then click on Action->Discard
After clearing data cache, test it again, compare the result.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,

Deploy App-v client to pc works, to user not

Hi,
I'm trying to deploy App-v 5.0 SP2 + hotfix to a pc, that works fine but when I deploy to a user, the installation fails "The software change returned error code 0x643(1603)."
The appenforce.log gives: "A supported App-V 5X client is not installed"
I'm triggering App-v 5.0 SP2 hotfix 4 to the user, this has a dependency to the Appv- 5.0 SP2 client which has a dependency to its prereqs (visual c++, dotnet, powershell 3.0).
Please advise.

Jan Hoedt

Hi Torsten,
Thanks for your feedback. Where could I find the msi logs? I haven't used any specific switches during installation for logging.
Don't understand why the appenforce.log says "A supported App-V 5X client is not installed" whereas an installation to pc works fine.
That's actually my question: what's the difference of installation method between to pc and to user (since the user method fails, the pc method works fine).

Office 2013 Visio product will not activate in Office 2013 E4 subscription model

Perform a complete uninstall, and reinstall with Visio first, complete the primary office suite afterwards.
I have to do the same for another user tomorrow but with Project.

Hope someone can help with this. Frustrating!We have Office 365 E4 subscriptions, with Office 365 subscription and Office 2013 installed on the desktop. We have some users who use Visio 2013 as well. We have four licenses, and all four were used. I unassigned one from one user, and want to transfer it to another user. Office 2013 is already installed and activated.During the installation of Visio, I get prompted for an email account. I enter the company email account registered to the user. Then it asks if this is a Microsoft account or work account, so I select Work. Then I enter the email password for the user's Office 365 subscription account.I get this message "The products we found in your account can't be used to activate Microsoft Visio Professional 2013". I have Office 2013 Professional installed, and have assigned the new user...

Office 2013 Pro Plus Activation not taking ?

Hello All.
I'm having issues with the license I received from my CTO. It's a legit license from Microsoft (Downloaded straight from the site). But the activation goes nutty no matter what I do.
Details:
Windows 7 Pro 64-Bit
Office Pro Plus 32-Bit
Problem:
Activation will not take.
If you take a look at Capture.jpg - You will notice that all programs are showing; 'Product Activated Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013' but then underneath that, it says 'Activation Required' --- What ???
If you look at Capture1.jpg - I've entered the license key and I get the Green Check - I click Install & Nothing. No Results. I've restarted, I've uninstalled and reinstalled.
I'm out of ideas. Yours?

Hi,
1.Open any Office program. For example, open Microsoft Word 2013.
2.Click the File tab.
3.Click Account, then click Activate Product.
4.In the Microsoft Office Activation Wizard, choose I want to activate the software by telephone, then click Next.
5.Click the drop-down menu, and then choose the country or region that you're from.
6.The Product Activation Center telephone number will appear under the drop-down menu in Step 1.
In addition, you might also contact Microsoft Customer Service they will help you to activate:

App-V CRM 2013 Outlook Client and Office 2013 Click to Run

Hi,
I'm trying to get going with enbing the CRM 2013 for Outlook client with the VL version of Office Pro Plus 2013. I have successfully published and use Office App-V package in a test environment. App-V version 5.0 SP2 is installed on the client
PC (Windows 7 64bit). SCCM 2012 R2 is used to publish APP-V applications to user groups.
I have sequenced the CRM 2013 Outlook client (offline mode disabled) with UR2 and published it using SCCM as a "Add-on or Plug-in. I've also created a connection group so that the App-V version of Office 2013 is able to connect to the sequenced
CRM client. The client installs successfully, but the CRM tab doesn't appear in the Outlook Ribbon, and the Configuration Wizard crashes each time it is launched. The App-V event log is blank (which I'm taking to be a good sign). All CRM
client prerequisites have been preinstalled on the target PC.
I'm thinking that the CRM client can't see the Outlook application and therefore crashes and doesn't integrate with the Outlook application. Problem Signature 09 (from the crash explanation) states "System.NullReference Exception".
I can't seem to find much out there for sequencing the 2013 version of the client. Has any else managed this yet or have any ideas where I'm going wrong?
Thanks,
Tim

Hello,
I would use Process Monitor to understand what happens and to see why Outlook isn't seeing the plugin, and why the wizard is crashing

Office 2013 - App-v Package setting language to English United Kingdom

I have created an app-v package for Office 2013 using the instructions following in
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2915745
Which works great and I have an app-v package created, trouble is that the language in Office i.e. Word is set to English United States. I need to default to English United Kingdom.
I have tried using Group Policy, and the language (Eng UK) appears in "Language" in word and if selected it uses this for session, but when Word is closed and re-opened to defaults back to English US.
I've also tried setting the language in the config.xml file to EN-GB during the build process, but the process fails straight away.
Anyone know how to permanently set the language to English UK?
Thanks
