    hi,
       I have the installed the same BI Publisher Desktop 11g (11.1.1.6.0) of 32 bit for Windows 7 64-bit. Just add the below code in your configuration setting file of your oracle BI publisher standalone(server side)-> install-> there you can find a file called oraparam.ini (its a configuration settings file).
    code is
    [Certified Versions]
    #You can customise error message shown for failure, provide value for CERTIFIED_VERSION_FAILURE_MESSAGE
    Windows=4.0,5.0,5.1,5.2,6.0,6.1
    [Windows-5.2-optional]
    [Windows-6.1-required]
    # Minimum display colours for OUI to run
    MIN_DISPLAY_COLORS = 256
    # Minimum CPU speed required for OUI
    # CPU = 300
    Red mark is the code which you need to add in the configuration file. black marked code is the code which already exiting in the file.
    add this code before installing the desktop. then try to install. this time the software will install successfully.

  • PeopleSoft XML Publisher Desktop installation issue

    Hi,
    I've tried to install the XML publisher desktop desing helper.
    I've installed it without error. But when i open the Office word program, it didn't show up the Template Builder menu on office tool bar.
    I've tried to do the following:
    1. Set the trust center setting in word option, Marco is all enabled, and the VBA project is checked.
    2. Close the Microsfot program, IE, Word, etc.
    3. Close the MSN Messager program
    4. Uninstall the MSN Live
    5. Then I re-run the installation file of XMLp several times to re-install it.
    After that, i still can not find any menu tool bar named "Templdate Builder" in word program.
    During the installation, there's no error, the install process is smoothly ended, but in the word program there's no menu for Template Builder.
    The version of Microsoft Word is 2007, and the version of XMLp Design helper for Word is 5.6.2, and the Java JRE version is 1.6.07.
    Please help on figuring this!
    Thanks,
    Saxon SI

    Hi:
    Check for Add-Ins in Word Options. Make sure that TemplateBuilder.dot is active; and look for 'Add-Ins' menu on your document. XML Publisher menus will be visible on that tab.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Sameer.

  • XML (BI) Publisher desktop plug-in installation error

    I'm trying to install Oracle XML Publisher Desktop 5.5 plug-in on Windows Vista OS. Installation fails with the following error message - "Word application is running. Please close Word application and retry installation", even though no Word application is running on the system during the setup (not even Outlook).
    Location C:\Program Files\Oracle\XML Publisher Desktop shows only 3/5 folders namely demos, samples and Word Template Builder with 'TemplateBuilder.dot' file missing in the Word Template Builder (due to unsuccessful installation).
    I've tried to remove these files and reinstall again but to no success. I'm not sure if this is a bug or anything, your help with a resolution of this problem will be greatly appreciated.
    More info:

    Clear the registry and remove any references of the XML publisher add-on. You can try using a s/w called 'CCleaner' to do this

  • XML Publisher Desktop 5.6.2 Installation Error

    I down loaded the desktop version. when I install it, it pops up a dialog
    "Word application is running. please close word application and retry installation"
    then, it stops installation.
    But I did not have word application open, only installation is running.
    Is this a bug, or I am missing some thing?

  • Error installing BI Publisher Desktop in Windows 7 64bits with Office 2010

    Hello
    I'm having a problem when trying to install the latest version of BI Publisher Desktop on my computer (Windows 7-64bits with Office 2010).
    Almost at the end of the installation it appears a message box saying "Template Builder installer failed: Cannot run installer while Mocrosoft Word is running". Now, i made sure all Office apps are closed, as well as IE windows. What i've noticed is that right before this error appears, a process for WINWORD.exe is open - by the installer.
    How can i fix this?
    Many thanks for your replies

    I've tried runnig the installer with Windows XP SP3 compatibility and it worked.

  • Installing BI Publisher Desktop as a machine startup script?

    Hello,
    Our company wants to deploy Oracle BI Publisher Desktop 10.1.3.4.1 to 60+ machines with Office 2010. Users on these machines do not have any admin privileges and therefore the installation is done via machine start up script. I managed to combine bits and pieces from various documents and generated a response file for silent install. The installation seems to be successful as users see the BI add-ins menu in Word. However, when they click 'Log On' from the Oracle BI Publisher menu, they first get a "Template Builder not found" error and then a "Run-Time error '429'" from MS VB. I have found a few threads talking about how to resolve these errors but none worked for me (e.g. Run the XMLPreportingTools4WordSetup.msi from BI Publisher's folder)
    I've narrowed down the reason that may have caused all these. When installing as a start up script, two things are missing from the installation: 1) Shared Add-in Extensibility Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 (KB908002) and 2) Shared Add-in Support Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 (KB908002). On the other hand, if I install the software manually using an account with admin privileges, these 2 additional .NET software are installed as part of the overall package.
    My guess is that installation via start up script is unable to call the necessary files to install the 2 .NET software. Me and my colleges would rather not having to logon to each machine and install BI Publisher manually.
    If you have encounter similar situations before, any tips/feedback would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    The BI Publisher Desktop tool allows you to access your BI Publisher Enterprise server from your client PC. It does not provide any means to directly connect to your database.
    A basic installation of BI Publisher Enterprise shall be accessible via eg. http://appserver.mycompany.com:9704/xmlpserver and you can access it using the seeded credentials being Administrator / Administrator. You should use the same URL and credentials for the Template Builder add-in from MS Word.
    More information is available in our documentation:

  • BI Publisher Desktop Install Error

    1.) I uninstalled XML Desktop via the XP control panel...
    2.) BIP Desktop would not install and indicated I had 'not' uninstalled my previous ver of XML Pub...
    3.) I reinstalled XML Desktop and then used Oracle's setup.exe included with XML Publisher Desktop to UNinstall XML Desktop...
    4.) BIP Desktop still would not install and indicated I had not removed my previous ver of XML Publisher Desktop...
    5.) I reinstalled XML Desktop AGAIN and then used Oracle's setup.exe to UNinstall XML Desktop, 'again'...
    6.) BIP Desktop still would not install and indicated I had not removed my previous ver of XML Pub...
    7.) I went through the reg. and attempted to remove all traces of XML Pub. And BI Publisher...
    8.) BIP still will not install and complains that I have XML Pub installed.
    Like us all, I have deadlines…
    So, any help simply INSTALLING the tool would be much appreciated.

    some problems with the template builder should have been fixed in it, thought it is still not working for us :)

  • BI Publisher Desktop for Excel

    Hi all,
    I have installed Oracle BI Publisher Desktop 11.1.5 for loading XML files. The expected new tab in the Main tab bar "BI Publisher" is showing only in MS Word. I need it for Excel too.
    I tried to customize the ribbon but there isn't any tab called "BI Publisher" as there is in MS Word.
    Is there anything else i should specify or there is a problem after the installation?
    Version: Oracle 11g.
    OS: Windows 7 32-bit system type
    Thanks in advance,
    Alexander.

    Ok I think I have the answer. You can go to this link for a complete answer. http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/e14667/create_excel_tmpl.htm
    There is no pull down menu for Excel spreadsheet layout. You have to enter the field names by hand. You do this by renaming the cell from A1 to the XML data field. There is a very specific naming convention and you must get that correct.
    That will be sheet one and then you need to create a sheet two name XDO_METADATA. You need to enter very specific information in this sheet in a very specific format.
    Once you have done this you will need to open the template viewer. In the template view you will open both the excel spreadsheet and the XML data file. Using this you will create the XSL file which you will upload to BI Publisher.
    It is not pretty but it works.
