Cannot install SharePoint Designer 2013

I have been trying to install SharePoint Designer 2013 and get the following message:
Microsoft Office 2013 does not support upgrading from a preview version of Microsoft Office 2013. You must first uninstall these preview versions of Microsoft Office 2013 products and associated technologies.
Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013
I do not have the Preview version of Office 2013 installed, nor did I ever.  I previously had a fully licensed version of Office 2010 which I have recently upgraded to version 2013 (fully licensed).  I have tried this install on 3 different computers,
all with the same results.  I have tried both the 32 bit and 64 bit version of both Office and SharePoint Designer.
Searching for answers online suggested removing some entries from the registry, but I don't have any of those entries.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products0005102110000000100000000F01FEC or any other keys starting with 0005102...
Any help is appreciated as I cannot do anything at this point.

Hi,
Base on the description, you want to fail to install SharePoint Designer 2013 when the office 2013 of fully licensed has been installed, but I’m not very clear about the version of the SharePoint Designer 2013 you want to install.
If you want to install a preview version of SharePoint Designer 2013, I suggest you to download other versions because the preview version of SharePoint Designer 2013 is not
compatible with
the fully licensed version of Office 2013.
If you want to install other version of SharePoint Designer 2013, I suggest you to remove entries from the registry, following these steps: 
1. Open regedit.exe (Run -> regedit -> Enter)
2. Find and delete the following key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\00005102110000000100000000F01FEC 
Note: if you can't find the above key, just find the key with prefix: 00005102, and suffix: F01FEC, and delete it. (Before deleting it, backup this key by exporting it).
Enjoy SharePoint Designer 2013 RTM now.

Linda Li

  • Can't install the sharepoint designer 2013 (32 or 64 bits) because of the "Office 15 click-to-run extensibility component"

    Hi there,
    I have a problem installing sharepoint designer 2013 which I downloaded .
    When I try to install the 64 bits installation program it it comes up with a popup that there are 32 bits programs found on my laptop. (Office 15 click-to-run extensibility component)
    When I try to install the 32 bits program of sharepoint designer it gives the same popup only that it found a 64 bits office program (Office 15 click-to-run extensibility component).
    What can I do to resolve this strange problem?
    I have a windows 8.1 laptop and use office as part of office 365.

    Hi GerritAikema,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you installed SharePoint 2013 Designer 64-bit.
    Please uninstall the Office 15 Click-to-Run Extensibility component, then install SharePoint 2013 Designer 64-bit, compare the result.
    For uninstalling the Office 15 Click-to-Run Extensibility component, you can refer to the link:
    http://lennytech.wordpress.com/2013/08/10/uninstalling-the-office-15-click-to-run-extensibility-component/
    I hope this helps.

  • SharePoint Designer 2013 does not load working workflows in design view

    Hello,
    I would like to share with you a strange thing that happens to me with Sharepoint Designer 2013.
    I designed two list workflows with SPD 2013 for a Sharepoint Online platform.
    Both workflows works in the engine as designed, but sometimes happens that in SPD they just don't open in the designer view, even if they do not give errors in the execution view
    The error message is that Sharepoint Designer has encountered an error and needs to be restarted. (Obviously restarting does not solve).
    Sometimes happens also that the workflows opens but blank, with no steps.
    Since this is an online platform, I can't consult logs.
    I am thinking to open a ticket with Microsoft, but I would like also to ask to the community if someone encountered this and can suggest a way to troubleshoot what happened and why.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that the workflow cannot be opened in SharePoint Designer and sometimes it opened with no steps.
    Did this issue occur with other workflows and did it occur often with the same workflow?
    I recommend to uninstall SharePoint Designer, delete all the files in the three locations below:
    C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WebsiteCache
    C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SharePoint Designer\ProxyAssemblyCache
    C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Web Server Extensions\Cache
    After that reboot the client and re-install SharePoint Designer 2013 with the latest updates packaged to see if the issue still occurs.
    If the issue still occurs with the same workflow, it may be caused by a known issue or by manual manipulation of the XAML in
    SharePoint Designer 2013 that can
    corrupt the workflow, then we need to recreate the workflow.
    Best regards.
    Thanks

  • Sharepoint 2013: Workflow Error , while trying to publish a Sharepoint 2013 Workflow, from the Sharepoint Designer 2013

    I don't know what might be wrong but I have tried everything possible I suppose. 
    Configuration: 1 App Server SharePoint Standard 2013 + SQL Server. On App Server, I have installed Workflow Manager as well.
    Installed Sharepoint Designer 2013 on my laptop. 
    Before I was able to publish the workflows, but now it refuses, thwroing me the following error:
    System.InvalidOperationException: Operation failed with error Microsoft.Workflow.Client.WorkflowCommunicationException: The request was aborted: The request was canceled. Client ActivityId : ac85cf9c-053a-e0db-1f47-608050559d31. ---> System.Net.WebException:
    The request was aborted: The request was canceled. ---> System.ServiceModel.CommunicationException: There was an error reading from the pipe: The pipe has been ended. (109, 0x6d). ---> System.IO.PipeException: There was an error reading from
    What I have tried so far:
    a. Re-installed Workflow, Service Bus, Windows Fabric, Sharepoint Designer... no luck
    b. Run the configuration script... -Force enabled... no luck
    c. Remove WF Manager, SB, etc... Deleted all WF and sb Databases from SQL, and re-installed all icluding updates... no luck
    d. Tried to run services using Farm account, still no luck.
    e. All services on the Server are running as well
    f. The workflow is checked that it is associated with the site collection.
    I don't know what else to try... seems like I am experiencing unique issue here... please help!

    One last thing I can suggest - In case if you have installed CU Update for WF manager 1.0 and service bus. Some time that creates problem, [Please take backup before make any changes] -
    - Clear everything, WF config , SharePoint WF setting, un register WF from SP , You can delete and recreate WF service Apps
    - IISreset at WF and SP server
    - Uninstall CU update for Workflow manager 1.0 and Service Bus from WF server [Control Panel - Programs - Update], you can delete all update installed
    - ReStart WF server
    - Reconfigure WF manager , Test WF sites , should return XML
    Get-WFFarm | ft HttpPort
    - Reconfigure WF at SP , Make sure should have enough free memory
    Register-SPWorkflowService –SPSite "http://SPsite/" –WorkflowHostUri "http://WFServer:12291" –AllowOAuthHttp
    http or https , depend on your configuration
    And retest from SPD again.
    Good luck:)

  • Switching from text view to visual view in SharePoint Designer 2013 crashes 100% of the time

    Whenever I am in SharePoint Designer 2013 and try to switch a workflow from text view to visual view, SharePoint Designer crashes. Text workflows work fine. I have tried any of the solutions that I could find including:
    - Removing KB2837633 and 2768006 (neither were installed)
    - Installing SharePoint Designer 2013 SP1 (KB2817441)
    - Performing a "Repair" on both SharePoint Designer 2013 and Visio 2013
    - Clearing the caches in the AppData directory
    - Setting Visual as the default mode for workflows to open in (so, not exactly switching, but trying to open it directly in the visual view)
    Event viewer reports that it is an issue with Microsoft.Web.Authoring.ni.dll which throws an unhandled exception, System.AccessViolationException.
    This is the error message:

  • Microsoft Sharepoint Designer 2013 encountered an error during setup

    I'm trying to install SharePoint Designer 2013 on my system, but I keep getting this error with no other detail.  Looking into the SetupExe log file that the event viewer pointed to didn't really identify anything that would point me
    to the culprit (or at least nothing I could decipher).  I am running Windows 7 (64 bit) and Office 2010 (32 bit).  Anyone run into this before?

    I am also trying to install SP Designer 2013 (32-bit) on my Windows 7 Pro 64-bit OS with MS Office 2010 32-bit and getting the same error about 30% into the install.  I have attempted to uninstall other 3rd party programs and apps for example Citrix
    and Skype and still no success.  I tried booting up in safe mode and get the same error right at the onset of the install.  
    Update:  Tried a "clean boot"  install and that also failed.

  • SharePoint Designer 2013 cannot access workflows in Office 365 Site

    I have an Office 365 SharePoint site with a number of workflows that I have created on my machine with SPD 2013. After a number of weeks I was unable to access the workflows from my machine through SPD (while still being able to access pages, site assets
    etc.), getting the following error: (Am restricted from submitting images)
    "Server-side activities have been updated. You need to restart SharePoint Designer to use the updated version of activities"
    Restarting SPD doesn't help, after clicking OK I get the "SharePoint Designer cannot display the item" screen, prompting me to refresh. 
    When I do refresh, I get the following:
    "Windows Workflow Foundation, part of .Net Framework 3.0, must be installed to use this feature"
    This is happening on my machine, Windows 7 64 Bit, SPD 2013 64 Bit, but on a colleague's machine, Win 7 64 Bit, SPD 2013 64 Bit I can access the workflows. 
    I get the same error if I try to create a new Workflow on my machine but I can create it on my colleague's machine.
    I downloaded SPD 2013 on a 32 bit laptop I have access to, in which I can create a workflow. One existing workflow can be accessed, updated etc. with no issue, one opens to a prompt to "Insert a stage" and one tells me that it "Failed to load
    the workflow definition for the workflow", then the "SharePoint Designer cannot display the item" screen. All of these workflows can be accessed from my colleague's machine.
    Here are the actions that I have taken to date on my own machine:
    Cleared the caches multiple times
    Checked for updates
    Installed .Net Framework 4.5
    Re-installed .Net Framework 4.0 (which contains 3.0)
    Uninstalled and re-installed SPD 2013 
    Due to issues with a workflow on the site I am in contact with MS Support who are aware of this issue, they sent me a link to a hot fix that was already installed but they have no concrete idea of what might be going on.
    I was convinced that it was an issue on my machine, but I don't know what the issues that I have seen on the 32 bit SPD on the new laptop mean.
    I have been searching the internet for a fix with no success, I would appreciate any help.
    Thanks
    Mick

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that SharePoint Designer 2013 cannot access workflows in Office 365 Site.
    There was an issue recently when a service release was implemented that incremented the version number in the HTML header on some SharePoint online sites to '16' when SPD was expecting '15'. 
    I suggest to install internet explore 10 and install a patch for IE10. Then test with "open with windows explore" then opened in SPD from sharepoint online.
    In addition, I suggest that in SPD go to Account > Switch Account and type in the credentials of the site you are trying to open (it defaults to your Microsoft Login).
    If the issue persists, to troubleshoot this issue, you can uninstall all versions of SharePoint Designer on workstation, clear cache and then reinstalling the latest SharePoint Designer. For the detailed information, you can refer to the
    article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2794961

    using sharepoint designer 2013 - connected to sharepoint online - but getting " data source file cannot be saved" after making a new linked datasource

    Hi,
    Based on your description, I have done a test and I can’t reproduce your issue.
    I have used SharePoint Designer 2013 to open a SharePoint Online site and there are no issues.
    I’d like to clarify whether you encounter any issues when accessing SharePoint Online sites. If there are no issues during the accessing procedure, SharePoint Online service should be working fine at your side. The issue may be caused by specific SharePoint
    Designer client or network. I suggest you refer to the following steps to troubleshoot the issue.
    1. Use SharePoint Designer to open another site and check whether it is successful.
    2. When you are prompted to enter Office 365 account and password, try other users’ accounts and select the remembering the credential.
    3. Perform the connection procedure under another environment and verify whether the issue is resolved.
    If the issue persists, can you provide related screenshots for further troubleshooting?

  • Cannot see the Previous Versions using SharePoint Designer 2013 - Versions cannot be accessed at this time.

    I was trying to view the Version History of a page from the SharePoint Designer 2013, I got the following error. "Versions cannot be accessed at this time, because the server is busy. Please try again later.
    Whereas I can able to access the version history through browser, the issue only occurs in SharePoint Designer.
    Thanks
    Ramkumar

    Hi Ramkumar,
    I understand that when you use SharePoint designer 2013 to check previous version of a page, it will pop up the error window. This is a known issue and here are two feasible workaround:
    1.Use SharePoint designer 2010 to connect SharePoint 2013 site.
    2.In SharePoint Designer 2013, use the Versions pane in the Page Summary view to access detailed version information of a file. You can access the Page Summary view by:
    a.  (Left) Clicking on a filename in the Site Pages list.
    b. Select a file Site Pages list by clicking anywhere in the row (except the filename) and then clicking on “Page Settings” in the Site Pages.
    c. Restore the required version.
    Thanks for the understanding and support.

  • Installing SharePoint Foundation 2013 on SBS 2011?

    Can I install SharePoint Foundation 2013 on SBS 2011 Standard without breaking the site in any way?
    Thanks!
    Sahalu

    Hi,
    The SharePoint Foundation 2013 works with other applications and Windows features, so it depends on any of the components that SharePoint Foundation 2013 needs.  If some features or applications cannot be installed successfully, the SharePoint
    Foundation 2013 will not work normally.   The Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2012 are recommended.
    Here is an article on the requirements for SharePoint 2013 can be referred to.

    Hi Rangnath,
    For running SharePoint Designer 2013, you need to install Microsoft .NET 4.0 Framework or higher.
    Please uninstall the Microsoft .NET 4.0 Framework, and install it again. After that, reboot your machine.

  • Can't open Sharepoint Online site in Sharepoint Designer 2013

    Hello!
    I am trying to open a Sharepoint Online secure site in Sharepoint Designer 2013 (v15). When I try to open the site in Sharepoint Designer i get an error stating: 
    "Server error: The version of Microsoft SharePoint Foundation running on the server is more recent than the version of SharePoint Designer that you are using. You need a more recent version of SharePoint
    Designer."
    I used to have the preview version installed, but I uninstalled it and got the latest version I could find (version 15?). I checked the SharePoint version on the server (/_vti_pvt/service.cnf) and it says: 
    vti_encoding:SR|utf8-nl
    vti_extenderversion:SR|16.0.0.1706The public site I have has the same version and it opens just fine in SharePoint Designer 2013. Are there any new versions of SharePoint Designer 2013 available that I have missed? My SharePoint Designer is up to date via Windows Update.I am running the designer on Windows 7 Ultimate x86.

    I had the same issue today. Here what I have found.
    I was using different credentials for my different SharePoint site in SPD 2013. When I try to access my new SharePoint online site (Which has different Account) the SharePoint Designer directly show me  
    "Server error: The version of Microsoft SharePoint Foundation running on the server is more recent than the version of SharePoint Designer that you are using. You need a more recent version of SharePoint Designer."
    then I changed my Account Credentials by
    Open SPD 2013
    1)click File
    2) Click Account
    3) Log out from current user name
    4) sign in by using the same credential  as your new SharePoint Site.
    DONE!
    I think this error is not useful as it (this error) is not about which version of SharePoint you are using but more about Account credentials.(At least for me) Hope that helps.
