Cannot install Microsoft Project 2013 Trial

Hi everyone,
I'm having a nightmare trying to install the Microsoft Project 2013 trial. I've read various forum posts, but can anyone give me a basic step by step guide to installing the trial!!!! I keep getting an .img file which does not open anything relevant! all
i want is a microsoft project icon to click on...please!!!!!!!!!

Matt --
I think your question is the most repeated question in this public user forum.  Most people download the Microsoft Project 2013 trial version and expect to find an EXE file, which is not what you get.  Instead, for some reason only known to Microsoft,
you end up with an IMG file.
To install the software, you have the choice of burning it to a disk, or you can use third party software to unzip the contents of the IMG file.  I have opted for the second choice, and used the free software from 7-Zip.  If you use the 7-Zip software,
you can unzip the contents to a folder, and then run the EXE file you will find in the folder.  And no, I do not work for 7-Zip; I have used their software successfully and like it.  Hope this helps.

  • Microsoft Project 2013 trial 64-bit download file is corrupt

    I downloaded the 64-bit trial version of Microsoft Project 2013, but when I try to burn the .img file to a DVD, I get the message: "The selected disk image file isn't valid." 
    When I use winrar to expand the file and then run setup.exe, i get the message "Setup cannot continue because a required file is either corrupted or not available."
    I've repeated the download several times, each time with the same result.
    (The 32-bit version downloaded fine, and I was able to burn it to DVD, but it's not the version I need to install.)
    My OS is Windows 7 Professional.
    Any ideas?

    Hi FKA-PBR,
    Sorry you are having issues.  I managed to download OK from
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/hh973401.aspx and extracted without any issues and could run setup .  Worth deleting what you have downloaded before just in case it is trying to over-write something.  If it happens again then
    getting logs from you might help establish what it thinks is broken.
    Best regards,
    Brian

  • Getting error 25004 when installing MS Project 2013 Trial edition on Windows 8

    I am trying to install the trial version of MS Project 2103 on my Windows 8 laptop. When I try to activate my key, I get error 25004. It thinks that I have another trial version on my computer. I un-installed my office 2010 (the only Office installed on
    my laptop) and tried un-installing and re-installing Project and when it comes to activating the key, it give me the same error message. Somehow, it thinks that I still have another trial version on my computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • Microsoft Project 2013 trial has a download error

    Downloads from this link do not work right now. Please fix:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-US/evalcenter/hh973401
    I spent the whole day trying to extract the ProjectProfessional_x86_en-us.img file. Burning DVDs, using 7-Zip and chaning the file name to .ISO are not the answer in this case. Microsoft and TechNet need to check for a download error and post when there's a
    solution.
    This is $1000 software. It makes no sense that there wouldn't have been a fix sooner.
    Grant

    Grant, I went ahead and downloaded this to see if it worked for me, and it didn't. But I did find that you can download this free utility and then mount the .img file with it so you can install. Try it and let me know if it works.

  • Microsoft Project Professional Trial 2013

    I tried to download MS Project Pro Trial 2013 this morning (64-bit) and my computer told me that I needed the 32-bit. So I went through the registration process again and downloaded the 32-bit.  Upon trying to run MS Project it gave me an error message
    after typing in my trial code stating.
    Error 25004: The product key you entered cannot be used on this machine. This is most likely due to previous MS Office 2013 trials being installed
    Any help would be great on how I can successfully trial MS Project.

    Hi,
    Have you installed Microsoft Project Professional Trial 2013 or Office 2013 pro before?
    Did you have installed any version of Office in this PC now?
    As far as I know, the error occurs when we try to install a Windows Installer (MSI)-based version of Office/Project 2013 on a computer on which the computer manufacturer has already installed a version
    of Microsoft Office/Project 2013.
    Please try the following steps and check they are helpful.
    Navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared
    If there is a folder called OFFICE15 or OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform delete that folder.
    Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared
    Same as above, If there is a folder called OFFICE15 or OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform delete that folder.
    Reinstall
    Please note: Backup before you deteted
    Tips:
    Office 32 bit version could be installed with both of 32bit and 64 bit Windows OS.
    Make sure all versions of Office/Project are either 32-bit or 64-bit. You can’t have a mix of both.

    It's recommended to download and install

  • Uninstall and Reinstall of MS Project 2013 Trial Product Key

    I am currently using the 60 day free trial version of MS Project 2013.  I have been using it for 11 days.  Can I uninstall it on one PC and reinstall it on another PC using the same product key if I am still within the 60 day trial window? 

    Hi,
    You can’t uninstall Project 2013 trial on one PC then reinstall it on other PC with the same product key. You can only activate Project 2013 trial on a single PC with the same product key.
    If you want to install Project 2013 trial on the other PC, you need to apply for a new account. Then download Project 2013 trial again via TechNet Evaluation Center on the new PC.
    You can contact local Customer Service Center. You can find local service center telephone number in link below.

  • Microsoft Project Free Trial instlation problem

    My name is Dawn,
    I have repeatedly downloaded Microsoft Project free trial it downloads and when I go to my files to open it, it says "Sorry there was a problem Mounting the file" "Couldn't Mount File"  How do I fix this so I can access the free
    Microsoft Project for my college class.
    Dawn

    Dawn --
    Before I attempted to install my copy of Microsoft Project 2013, I downloaded and installed the free application called 7-Zip.  Then I used 7-Zip to unzip the contents of the IMG file, where I could find the installation EXE file and install the software. 
    I do not work for 7-Zip or have any financial interest in the company.  It simply helps me to deal with IMG files without needing to burn an installation CD or DVD.  Hope this helps.

  • Microsoft Project 2013 Cash Flow Reports

    Whilst I read many positive comments regarding the enhancements to Microsoft Project 2013.  I can't help but find myself frustrated that simple processes seem to have disappeared!  All I want to do is access a Cash Flow Report that will tell
    me how much cash is required every week.  In Microsoft Project 2010 this was a simple matter of running a Cash Flow Report and reading the requirements from an easy to view table structure.  Select the Project Tab / Reports / Costs / Cash Flow.
    Using Microsoft Project 2013 I get a lovely looking chart to view but really no useful information to view!  Can anyone help please, surely there must be an easy way of doing this in 2013?  Am I missing something?

    Thanks for replying.  I'm trying to use the View Reports function. Report Tab / View Reports Group / Costs / Cash Flow. Didn't really want to go out to Excel.  Its complicated, we actually use MSP 2010.  However I am evaluating MSP2013 in
    a Virtual Computer Window on the same computer.  Am unable to run Visual Reports as there is some problem I dont understand "Building Local OLAP Cubes" which stops Excel form generating the Visual Report. 
    Back to the problem, I cannot see the purpose of the MSP 2013 Cash Flow Report if all the report gives you is Name, Remaining Cost, Actual Cost, Cost, ACWP, etc.  I dont think that really provides useful Cash Flow indicators.

  • Can't Create PDF from Microsoft Projects 2013

    I am trying to PDF a Microsoft Projects 2013 files.  I've tried print PDF and save as PDF but both options give me a pop up window that says "Creating Adobe PDF" with a progress bar displayed with 3 blue bars filled.  I leave it that way for about an hour and nothing happens.  I've tried updating the Adobe Acrobat and Repairing it in the Programs and Features menu.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

    Thanks for the prompt response.  I don't know how to print-to-file and open the file in Distiller.  The printing as PDF doesn't even work.  It gives me the "Creating PDF" pop up window to which there is no end to. (see photo above)  As for updating to version XI, my colleagues who are running Acrobat X Standard with MS Projects 2013 do not have a problem at all when printing.  I want to avoid upgrading if version X is still usable.  Any other thoughts?

  • Captivate 7 Stuck Loading after installing Microsoft Office 2013

    Before the problem started, I initially had Adobe Captivate 5 (not 7) and have been working fine until I installed Microsoft Office 2013. As I tried to start Captivate 5, it gets stuck on the loading page—the welcome screen never shows up. After I checked this blog on the forum, which is blaming 3rd party fonts that may cause this issue to happen—I never installed any 3rd party fonts—I wasn’t sure if Office 2013 come with additional fonts that are not compatible with Captivate 5. So I removed Captivate 5 and installed the trail version of Captivate 7 (32 bit) thinking that Captivate 7 will be okay with any additional fonts that come with Microsoft Office 2013. Still having the same issue—can’t get the welcome screen—stuck on the loading screen. Regardless, whether I try to start the software or try to open an existing Captivate file by double clicking.
    As per another blog on the forum, I also tried removing/renaming Captivate folder located in C:\Users\MYUSERID\AppData\Local\Adobe but that didn’t help either. Now I have completely removed Captivate 5 folder from the directly as I have installed Captivate 7—still stuck with the same problem.
    I am running Window 7 Professional (32 bit), have the latest version of Java SE 7 Update 25, downloaded latest AIR update and of course every time removed any software, I did restart the computer to update the registration keys before installing a newer version of a software.
    You help and advice will be greatly appreciated! Many thanks!
    Regards,

    Hello Parth.
    Many thanks for your help! It worked!
    After deleting every font I could (out of 820 fonts, ended up deleting 687 fonts--only 133 remined that were proected-system fonts) I am successfully able to launch Captivate 7. I guess Microsoft Office 2013 did install some fonts that conflicted with Captivate 7 (even version 5). By the way, Myriad Pro, my favorite font when it comes to Captivate, is also system-protected that I couldn't delete. I now just have to work on Part B, and slowly reinstore the deleted fonts in small batches to keep Captivate working.
    Thank you again for the tip ... much appreicated!

  • Microsoft Project 2013

    Hello. I am very new to Microsoft Project and only have been using it for about a week or so. I am creating a timeline and there is no indication that there is any error with my timeline. But my start and finish dates are not right, but the duration is correct.
    I have my duration as 200 days. My start date is 10/15/2013. My end date, however, is 2 years ahead and is 6/7/2015. The duration between those two dates is 600 days, when the project is only supposed to be 200 days. I somehow have a 400 day gap, which I have
    no idea how that happened. I could really use some help. I have been trying to fix this for hours. If it helps, my schedule is:
    Default start time: 12:00 AM
    Default end time: 12:00 AM
    Hours per day: 24
    Hours per week: 168
    Days per month: 30
    and I have a fixed duration and my work is entered in days.
    Also, I have weekends as working days, so I have a 7 day work week.
    Help would be most appreciated!!
