Please help!!! BI Publisher Desktop on Windows 7

I have Windows 7 OS (64bit) and MS Office 2007.
I am trying to install BI Publisher Desktop ( for the Word Plugin).
When i try to install Oracle BI Publisher Desktop 11.1.1.6.0 for 64 bit Office on Windows (245 MB), it gives me an error asking me to install Oracle BI Publisher Desktop 11.1.1.6.0 for 34 bit Office on Windows (245 MB)
When I try to install Oracle BI Publisher Desktop 11.1.1.6.0 for 64 bit Office on Windows (245 MB), it says make sure that Java 1.6 or later is installed. I have the latest jre installed and also have JAVA_HOME set.
I also tried installing XML Publisher Desktop 5.5. It installs fine but complains about Macros. Even after I delete the .exd files, it still throws the same error.
Is there a known issue with BI Publisher Desktop on Windows 7 (64 bit) ??
Please help!

Please have the following installed before you try installing BI Publisher Desktop:
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0
Java Runtime or JDK 1.6 or later
Review the following MOS notes:

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.

BI Publisher Desktop for Windows 7

BI Publisher Desktop install on Windows remote desktop

Hi all,
Is there any way to install BI Publisher Desktop on windows remote desktop (terminal services)?
If I install this currently as one user, the other user can not access (despite having all the correct security settings). The real issue is I think with MS Office because the Add-in is not seen by other users. But I have no idea how to go about solving this issue.
Thanks.
Px.

There is an Oracle support document [468953.1] that suggests that each user run the installer on a shared machine. This advice doesn't actually work as the second user who attempts to install it on a machine will only be presented with the option to uninstall it.
Just today with the help of ProcessMonitor I have figured out how to deliver it to all users. Note that my setup is Office 2003. The below instructions may need alteration for other versions or may not work at all.
After you have installed BI Publisher Desktop copy the TemplateBuilder.dot file found in:
C:\Documents and Settings\[installing_user_name]\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP
to
C:\program files\microsoft office\OFFICE11\STARTUP
This will cause the TemplateBuilder word template to launch at startup for all users and deliver the "Oracle BI Publisher" menu item and BIP toolbar.
Hope this helps. If you are using a version of Word other than 2003 and need to modify the procedure please post any required changes on this thread. I would like to assemble a procedure for all supported versions of Word.

Installing BI Publisher Desktop 10.1.3.4.1 for Windows

Hi, Everyone,
I have jus started to reasearch about Oracle BI Publisher.
I have installed BI Publisher Desktop 10.1.3.4.1 for Windows on my machine.
I am trying to connect to my oracle database. The version of my database in 11.1.0.6.
I have opened Ms-Word 2007 and clicked on the Add-Ins tab and i am trying to login.
I am lost as to how to connect to my server?
After connecting how can i connect the BI publiser to my database?
Could anyone guide me the steps to follow?
Thanks a many...
Regards

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 Windows 7 Office 2007 Install

Hey All,
Having some issues with install the BI Publisher Desktop 10.1.3.4.1 on Windows 7 32 bit / Office 2007 setup.
Keep getting error, "Please close MS Word and try again".
Well it is certainly closed, and I have also tried a clean reboot, just to eliminate any lingering processes.
So basically, should this Windows 7 install work?
Didn't see it named on the certifications list, but all of the other Vista 32 bit installs I have tried have been successful.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance,
Hayden
Edited by: hszero on Feb 2, 2010 4:23 PM

Before you start BIP Desktop installation, you have to close all
MS-Office Applications (MS-Word, MS-Outlook, etc) and Internet
Explorer too.
After installation is complete run Word 7 and go to->Adds-In
->Oracle BI publisher.

Andy

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.

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

Error opening pdf from published desktop

Citrix XenApp 5
Windows 2003
Adobe Reader 9 (Swedish version)
We do have the following issue:
On a published desktop opened from the webinterface you are unable to open a pdf file from an Intranet site. It doesn't matter if you try it with an admin account or a normal user account. The pdf is trying to open in a new browser window and an error occurs.
EM: There was a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. Quit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and try again.
When closing the error and browser window and click the pdf link on the site again, it opens in a new browser window.
Uncheck "display pdf in browser" in Adobe Reader is not an option for the customer.
When copying the shortcut to the pdf and paste it in a browser window it opens.
When connecting to the server with an admin account or a normal user account using RDP the issue does not occur. However it seems to be a Citrix issue and I have posted it on the Citrix forum, I post it here as well in the hope to get this solved..

Check the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe
Here check the default value. On an english machine, it has to be set to:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe"
If you installed Adobe reader to a different directory, enter the path where "AcroRd32.exe" is to be found.

Java Development BI Publisher Desktop 10.1.3.2 vs. XMLP562 library

Hi,
I've created an RTF template with BI Publisher Desktop, that's working quite fine running the preview. In this template I've charts and cross tables.

I don't understand why there's this NumberFormatException because it worked fine in BI Publisher Desktop with the same data. Also value in xml file is not 0,178, it's 0.178 (there's a point as decimal separator not a comma), so NumberFormat should be no problem. Also in the preview from BI Publisher Desktop the decimal separator is a point .
Do you think it is a problem of using the jars of the older version?
Thanks

Oracle BI Publisher desktop - insert field does not make absolute path

Hello everyone,
I am using the Oracle BI Publisher desktop 11.1.1.5
Lets have the given demodata
<demodata>
     <person>
     <name>Peter</name>
     </person>
     <relative>
     <name>Mike</name>
     </relative>
</demodata>
As you can see the tag <name> is used as subchild in person, relative.
next i start winword 2007 using the bip-extension. There is a button 'insered field' that opens a window with the demodata tree.
When i pick person->relation->name there will be the expression <?name?> insered.
Thats my problem, i need the absolute path to be insered, in this case <?/demodata/relation/name?>
If the adressing is not absolute starting from the root the rendered Report will show 'Peter' as it is the first occurence of the <name> tag.
I have not find out where to configure the word-plugin to make absolute paths in fields.
Any ideas ?

Thank you for your answer
sure, it is possible to edit the fields by hand but my xml-structure is autogenerated (MDA-approach), nested and quiet complex. Manual tasks can lead to typing errors and sometimes i forget to edit one field afterwards.
It would be just very handy when the tool does the work for me, it has all the information anyway.
I wonder why am the first person that is having this request. In my opinion adressing starting from the root is clear and without ambiguity. In every field i can exactly read using the expression which element in the tree is used.
In conclusion, it would be nice if the plugin let the user decide whether to use the short or the long syntax
greetings,
martin.
