Please install excel as a viewer

Dear All,
I am having the similar problem like many here before. Unable to Open the reports. RRMX is not working. Gives a message "Please instal excel as a viewer".
I have read through all the posts related to this topic in this forum. Have gone through the OSS Note 160995. Have even tried to download the SAP BW 3.5 AddOn Patch on WIKI FAQ. But that patch is not downloading, seems corrupted or not existing. Have reinstalled and installed MS Office. Have reinstalled SAP Front end components also.
None of the above seem to have solved my problem. Please help, am totally lost.

Hi,
The BEx Analyzer is an Add-on for Microsoft Excel. This sounds like a problem with your patch level, although it could also be an authorization problem. If it is a patch issue, you will need to get your Basis team to match the SAP GUI patch with the BEx you are running. If it is an authorizations issue, you will need to add the authorization object to view Workbooks. Either way, try running ST22 and see if it shows the error message. If it shows up here, it will have details about exactly what is going wrong and what you need to do to repair it. Hope this helps somewhat.
Cheers,
Rusty

"Please install Apple Application Support" on QuickTime

I click on QuickTime and get the error "Please install Apple Application Support". I tried many things to fix this, but non worked. This error also effects iTunes and doesn't let iTunes run either. I cleaned my registry with a registry fixer and completely removed every program and software from Apple Inc.. I then restarted the computer and runned the registry fixer again. Then I first downloaded Quicktime and installed that (ending up with the same error) and then downloaded iTunes and installed it. Nothing seems to work.
PLEASE HELP, THIS IS URGENT!
P.S. I am running on Windows 7 with .NET FrameWork 4.5

Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

How to install excel as a viewer in bw.

Please uninstall the SAP GUI completely and re-install the same. While re-installing please choose all option and before that you need to install Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 and then install SAP GUI and at last install the latest patches for BI Add-on based on your SAP GUI version which can be downloaded from service market place.

Error while installing ECL viewer 6.0

Dear Gurus,
I tried installing the ECL viewer 6.0 with followin steps...
1. un installed the previous version by deselecting the viewer in "general add-ons" of the gui setup.
2. Checked for the Webviewer2d.dll..... no trace
3. installed the ECL Viewer 6.0.
Now according to the note 866612, step 3, I could not find the
eaisupport.jar,eaisupportS.jar,VisWeb.jar,VisWebS.jar files at location C:\Program Files\Common Files\SAP Shared\System\java
Because of this, the viewer is not getting called up or throwing error.
Please help.
Thanks in advance!
Ramesh Manoharan

Error was resolved with new installation of 'SAP GUI 7.10 core'.
ECL 6.0 viewer comes as an add-in in the gui.
refer SAP note 1302717

Getting this error while opening a folder : This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel

Hi,
While trying to open a folder on my Windows 7 Home Premium, an error comes "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this
action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel." I tried searching on the net but did not get great support for the issue when it happens with folder opening.

Hi Nikunj Shah,
First, I suggest you download
Microsoft Safety Scanner or
Malicious Software Removal Tool to run a full scan.
The error messages here seems to be caused by the corrupted registries, which related with the folder association.
You may take a try to merge the following registry settings to reset the folder association, before that, remember to backup your registry settings first:

InDesign CS2 won't open: error msg states "Please install the MetaData plug-in and restart"

I'm unable to open my InDesign CS2 program, and am wondering if anyone has any suggestions for me. When I try to open it, I get an error message stating: "Cannot load Adobe InDesign CS2 because it requires MetaData. Please install the MetaData plug-in and restart Adobe InDesign."
It worked just fine last week - I have no idea what happened this week... (other than my 3-yr-old 'playing' with my computer...) I am able to open other CS2 programs like Illustrator and Photoshop. Any ideas for me??

Try trashing your preferences: Hold down Shift + Control + Option + Command immediately after launch. You'll get a dialog asking if you want to delete your preferences. If no dialog comes up you didn't do it fast enough.

Every time I update or repair in the control panel it comes up with a error message like, this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action, please install a program if it is installed create an association to the default pro

EVERYTIME I UPDATE SOFTWARE OR GO INTO THE CONTROL PANEL TO ITUNES TO REPAIR OR CHANGE IT GIVES ME AN ERROR MESSAGE
THIS FILE DOES NOT HAVE A PROGRAM ASSOCIATED WITH IT FOR PERFORMING THIS ACTION. PLEASE INSTALL A PROGRAM, IF IT IS INSTALLED CREATE AN ASSOCIATION TO THE DEFAULT PROGRAMS CONTROL PANEL

STOP SHOUTING! Or at the very least, get the CAPS lock key fixed.
Remove iTunes.
Download and install the current version of iTunes from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download
