Essbase 11.1.2 Install & Win7/Office 2010 client

All,
I have just finished liaising with our off shore partners who are supposed to be driving our Essbase upgrade and I fell like the ship has no rudder - or captain, so all help would be seriously appreciated!!. The basic premise is to run our existing 9.3 Apps on Dev servers during the upgrade and install clean Essbase 11.1.2 on existing servers with O/S upgraded from 32 bit to 64 bit. Once the new back end is proven to work with 2 Apps then migrate the apps from Dev environment to production. Our cubes are all BSO cubes without partitioning and will stay that way for 2011. We have external (LDAP) authentication through HSS on a remote server that will not be upgraded. We do NOT have EPMA at the moment and it will not be needed for our Essbase server/s. The questions are :-
1. Essbase 9.3 client seems to be the only client certified for Office 2010. Can the 9.3 Excel Add-In work seamlessly with 11.1.2 server? [i.e. I know the server should be backward compatible but has anyone had any REAL issues/experience?]
2. What if any are the pitfalls of 11.1.2 x64 install? [e.g. Sequence of install, Amt of RAM, Naming restrictions etc]
3. Must we have EPMA? [From memory I think we do NOT]
4. Will 11.1.2 Essbase Server work with HSS 9.3?
5. Any "gotchas" we should be looking out for?
Many thanks
George

Hi There,
In addition to John's great help, if you want to try out 11.1.2 quickly and (relatively) cheaply, you could try and convince your boss to spin up a test server in the cloud. Cameron Lackpour has some great info on that. This topic: Learning Essbase and Planning - Buy or Rent a Server? might help you out. You might find that the GUI is veeeeery different to what you are used to.

Should I have installed Microsoft Office 2010 Filter Pack 64 bit with Ex 2013 SP1?

I have installed Exchange 2013 SP1 on a 2012R2 server, and all went well (I am at early stages of migration).
Following the pre-reqs listed here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb691354%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx#WS2012
I installed Microsoft Unified Communications Managed API 4.0, Core Runtime 64-bit only.
Since then I have seen other articles suggesting that I install:
Microsoft Office 2010 Filter Pack 64 bit
Microsoft Office 2010 Filter Pack SP1 64 bit
Given I didn't notice any errors in the install, do I need to install those filter packs or is that outdated advice?

Roga

Thanks for taking the time to post Ed
I did a bit more research and it appears that there is more than one view on this.
E.G. this blog
Why Exchange 2013 doesn’t need the Microsoft Office Filter Pack says:
"Exchange 2013 swaps MSSearch for the Search Foundation, a component shared with SharePoint 2013. The Search Foundation has no need of the Office Filter Pack because it includes its own filters. Unfortunately, until SP1 came along,
the Exchange 2013 Setup program overlooked this fact and stated that the Office Filter Pack was a prerequisite. Setup would install if the Office Filter Pack was missing, but who’s going to ignore a warning issued by Setup. In any case, that warning seems
to have finally been suppressed."
This blog
Planning and migrating a small organization from Exchange 2007 to 2013 (Part 10) has:
"After choosing the relevant setting needed to begin installation, the Exchange 2013 setup program will now perform readiness checks. Assuming these complete successfully, we'll expect to see just one warning.
This warning relates to the lack of the Office 2010 Filter Packs, which are not required for installation, and are only required to create Transport Rules for OneNote or Publisher files"
And this one
Exchange Server 2013 FAQ: Is the Office Filter Pack Required?
"The Exchange 2013 pre-requisites page on
TechNet, at the time of this writing, does include the Office Filter Packs as a step in the preparation of a server for Exchange 2013. What it doesn’t make clear is that they are not required.
The new Exchange Search already has support for indexing/searching Office file types, as well as a series of other file types including some third party formats such as PDF. You can see a full list
here.
So should you install the Office Filter Pack? If you want to stop seeing that warning message, then yes. If you want to take the approach of only installing required software on your servers, then no. Consider also that installing it means potentially having
to update it later on if there is a bug fix or a security issue."
The final para above is the approach that I have now taken, but if someone can give me a good reason to install office 2010 filter packs on Ex 2013 sp1 I'll revise my view

Hi,
This error code indicate there is something wrong with the Microsoft .NET Framework.
You can check the following two respects to check if works.
If you are running Microsoft .NET Framework version 2.0 or a later version, repair the installation from Control Panel > Programs and Features.
Download and install the latest .NET Framework version 2.0 from this website.

'CRT not initialized' error after installing MS Office 2010

Hi,
I encountered 'CRT not initialized error' after installing MS Office 2010. I think that with previous version of CVI there were no problems. But, with Labwindows/CVI 2012 error has outbroken. The details are as follows.
- OS : windows 7 Enterprise (32bit)
- Labwindows/CVI (v12.0.0 (422))
- MS Office 2010 (word, powerpoint, excel)
#1. clean install windows 7 (32 bit)
#2. install Labwindows/CVI v12.0.0 and device drivers (DAQ, Motion)
#3. compile and run attached test program : SUCCESS
#4. online update windows 7 (service pack, explorer 9, and etc)
#5. compile and run attached test program : SUCCESS
#6. install MS Office 2010
#7. compile and run attached test program : 'CRT error'
#8. uninstall MS Office 2010
#9. compile and run attached test program : SUCCESS
I think there are some conflicts between office 2010 and labwindows v12.0.0. How can I solve this problem?
Thank you in advance.

More specifically, I decided that some parts of MS Office files and features of NI's motion library conflicts. Because in the attacted sample program, if I exclude NI-Motion functions then the program excutes nicely. But if I include NI-Motion fucntion, for example flex_select_signal, then the 'CRT not initialized' error occurs.
To solve this problem I tried step by step installation check for MS Office 2010. During each step I included more optional features in MS Office and after each installation I compiled and executed my sample program. At finally, I found that the addtional part of MS Office 2010, if I install Office Sharing Function>Microsoft IME(Korean), then the 'CRT not initialized' error occurs.
Temporarly, I solved the problem with NOT installing 'Office Sharing Function>Microsoft IME(Korean)' optional feature in the MS Office 2010.
Could you tell me why this problem occur?

Installing Microsoft Office 2010

Two questions:1. I've tried to download several different programs from internet sources. After the download process has been completed, a prompt on my computer "announces" that "this program couldn't be downloaded". Does anyone know why? 2. I'm trying to install Microsoft Office 2010 on my HP Touchsmart computer without success. Is there a procedure I can follow to install a program from a disc onto this computer? Thank you.

That does not mean it will not install. Depending on how the Windows autostart is setup, it might be OK. With the Microsoft Office Disk in the drive, once it gets over the initial noise making, open "Computer" from the start button and then pick the drive where the disk is. Double click on the drive. It should either start or ask if you wish to start either setup.exe or install.exe

Problem with report generation toolkit when installed new office 2010

Dear all, I had LabView 8.6.1 and report generation toolkit for MSoffice 2003 perfectly working in my laptop.
Now I have added MSoffice 2010 and report generation toolkit does not work anymore since it is linked to new office.
How can I inform Labview to link report generation toolkit to the old MSoffice 2003?
regards
Max

The Report Generation Toolkit is ActiveX based. When you install the newest version of Office it registers the ActiveX server for that software, which the toolkit adapts to and uses.
Uninstalling Office 2010 would solve the issue, otherwise you will need to look at unregistering the 2010 component of Office ActiveX - but I'm not sure if that's possible.

New font versions installed by Office 2010

Hi Forum,
I know that e.g. the Calibri font is updated with a newer version when installing Office 2010.
What I am missing is a list that tells me which fonts to update on a print server. Running a pure print server includes NOT having Office packs installed. Therefore the fonts will never be updated and I do not like the idea that I cannot upload correct fonts
to the server in good time rather than having to wait until users reports issues printing.
How do others overcome this issue on their print queues? I would assume that rendering on the client would overcome this problem. But then it will give the users extra CPU load and increase the size of the spool jobs from the client to the server.
Thanks,
David

But just getting the list is only part of the solution. How do I prevent this from ever happening. I can never be in control of the font versions installed on the client PCs.
What are others doing?

Should I install Microsoft Office 2010 Filter Packs?

Hi,
I have SharePoint Server 2010 installed. I am on version 14.0.7015.1000 (SP2) but within my SharePoint Server Search crawl I receive the following error multiple times on valid file types and character strings: "the filtering process could not be initialized
when trying to process this item. Verify that the file extension is a known type and the item is not corrupt". From searching, it appears that I may have to install the Microsoft Office 2010 Filter Packs, or is this already included in SP2?
Thanks.

Hi ,
Microsoft Office 2010 Filter Packs is included in prerequisiteinstaller folder when you install SharePoint 2010 (not SP2).

For the above error message, please go to Search service crawl log and check which file extension(e.g. xls, xlsx) has this error, and check if this file is allowed to crawl, if it is related to MicrosoftOffice 2010 Filter Packs, index resetting,
etc. please see more troubleshooting steps per the fllowing article.

I want to open an excel file from a folder in the Microsoft live office on Hotmail. Their instruction is to go to tools in Firefox, go to plug-ins and then install Microsofts Office 2010. Can't find plug-h. Help?

I have uploaded an excel file from my desk top to the Windows Live (HOTMAIL?) office suite. When I try to open the file I get an error that says my system is not supported. My system passes all of the listed criteria except for one. That is a plug in from Firefox. The instructions say to go to the Firefox menu, click on tools then plug-ins. Of course when I go to tools plug-ins is not immediately available, but when I do go to plug-ins, I am to click on Microsoft Office 2010. This plug in is supposed to allow earlier versions of office documents to be viewed as well as Office 2010. The plug-in is not available. When I search the Firefox website I am not able to find such a plug-in.
I am using Microsoft XP, Office 2007 and the version of Firefox prior to V4. V4 does not support all of my e-mail clients so am not able to use V4.

I am using Microsoft XP, Office 2007 and the version of Firefox V4 but I have this same problem.

Corporate Win7/Office 2010 | Severe Lag when opening Office 2010 files over the network

Good Evening Everyone,
I work in a corporate environment for one of the top banks in the country (USA). We recently upgraded our computers to Windows 7. (The image has office 2010 included in the build)
I've been experiencing some severe lag when opening Office files over the network. Let me start by saying I've researched a lot and have yet to find a solution that works or even makes much of an improvement.
Notes: My laptop is new (64-bit Win 7 Enterprise). The remote desktop where the files lie is new as well. (64-bit Win 7 Enterprise) Both computers have good hardware and more than enough juice to handle applications.
There are certain files I work on along with other co-workers that we store on a computer within the office. We simply create shortcuts to the files on our local machines and make changes, etc. from there. However, after this upgrade, every time I try to
open a file on the remote computer, it takes over a 1 minute to load. I've spoken to our support team who sent someone out and confirmed it's not the network.
Both computers are on the same subnet as well. I've changed the trust center settings on both the client computers and "server" to trust any computer on the network. I have also changed the network card's speed from "Auto Negotiate" to
full duplex 100mbps with no luck.
I am out of options here and in desperate need for a fix. Even saving changes to a file we work on takes forever. 50% of the time when I close a spreadsheet, the title bar has a not responding message and takes a minute to eventually close.
PS: Extra Info : All computers run McAfee AV and use McAfee for disk encryption. I've confirmed all computers are up-to-date in every respect with the AV software.
Thanks,

Try:
Open My Computer.
Open the Tools menu and choose Folder Options...
Select the File Types tab.
Select the extension (for example DOC, or XLS) of the file that is slow to open.
In the Details section, click [Advanced], and another dialog box will open.
In the Actions section, click Open then click [Edit...], and another dialog box will open.
