Installation of project 2013

I downloaded the packet with  MS Project 2013. OS – Windows 7, processor 64 bit, all technical characteristics are very good. The MS Project 2010 installed on computer. I tried to install this soft.
But after starting setup.exe I see nothing. Not any windows or information. Why ?

And it's also worth ensuring that you are a local administrator.  Check the processes running (task manager) - does setup run and then stop, or are there multiple ones in the background?

  • Re-installation of project 2013 trial doesn't work

    Hi,
    i had downloaded project 2013 trial version 2 days back, installed it and it was working fine.
    next day, i was facing some issues with laptop, so I uninstalled it.
    Now when I try to re-install using same exe, it is not working.
    It is only giving error as  - 'The installation of this package failed'.
    Pls help on how to re-install mpp. I need it urgently.

    My hunch is the "issues" you allude to are possibly the root cause.

  • Microsoft Project 2013 Installation failure Exit code 259

    Hello guys,
    I encountered an issue regarding the Project 2013 installation.  It always gives the Exit code 259. I checked the meaning of 259, it means
    No more data is available.
    Does any body see the same/similare problem?
    I also seeking a parameter which could allow me to create the log for Project2013 installation, thus maybe some helpful infor could be provided in the log. The source files is as below,
    Any help is appreciated.
    Ethan.

    Project? It looks like it's a folder for Visio 2013. Maybe you have upload the wrong screenshot?
    And what's the files like Passive.MSP and Passive_orig.MSP?
    Also check if there are other files in the updates folder, if they didn't create anything, just empty the
    updates folder (back up first), and try to run setup again.
    Meanwhile, by default, Office (Project) will create log files in the \Temp folder during setup. The log files have names that are similar to
    SetupExe(201304251107012350).log
    Other than that, we can also use the Process Monitor to capture the real time info during the setup:

  • Project 2013 APP-V Plugin

    Hi,
    I have a Project 2013 APP-V package created and published successfully. Now I have a requirement from user to add a plugin for Project 2013.
    I don't want to make this plugin to be available to all users. Any solutions?
    I thought of creating a connection group for the individual project 2013 which is already published to this add in but I think I am confusing app-v here and it installs and uninstalls simultaneously.
    Is there any possibility to create a connection group with the same package which is published individually?
    Regards,
    Chetan.T.V

    What version of App-V do you use? If 5.0 SP3, then take advantage of a new feature - having optional packages in a connection group. Create a connection group that contains your existing Project 2013 package and add the add-on package (if you haven't created
    a package yet, do that) as an optional package. Publish Project 2013 and the connection group to everyone that should get it and publish the add-on package only to the users who need it. That should work.

  • Project 2013 - How do you sort the list of Enterprise Templates in Project Pro?

    In Project Pro 2013, click File > New > Enterprise I see the list of templates from our project server. We have a global installation with 40-50 templates. These are displayed in a random order and reading through the whole list to find the one I
    want is quite tedious. Is there a way to sort this list alphabetically? Can the list be displayed as a "details" view rather than icons?

    Greg --
    Guillaume is totally correct.  The display order of enterprise templates is by the date they were created.  I have tested this on a Project Server 2013 system that has the latest Cumulative Updates applied.  The problem is that in the
    Microsoft Project 2013 desktop application, Microsoft has ditched the Templates dialog we used to see and replaced it with a page in the Backstage.  I am afraid that in doing so, they have eliminated the sorting capabilities that we found in earlier versions.
    Out of curiosity, I have sent an e-mail to my MPV contacts within the Microsoft Project Server development team at Microsoft, asking if there is any intention of changing this functionality to allow for sorting by template name.  If I get an answer,
    I will post it in this user forum.
    Your question is a good one, and the sorting problem (or lack of sorting) can be a real problem in any organization that has a sizable number of enterprise templates.  Hope this additional bit helps.

  • Project 2013 & Security updates

    Hi Everyone
    I have Project 2013 installed on machines that have Office 2010 Pro running.
    I have only noticed this now from October 2014 Patching.
    It seems this machine wants all sorts of Office 2013 patches installed. (eg. Word 2013, OneNote 2013 , Outlook 2013, Office 2013, etc). However, this machine only has Project 2013 installed only.
    In this scenario, is it normal for a machine like this to trigger other Office 2013 components to be as required installation, even though it does not have that component installed?
    Thanks, DM.

    Hi DM,
    Based on your situation now, you have received above updates, but not installed yet. As far as I know, this issue usually happened if we have installed Office 2013 before and un-installed now. Sometimes, the Office 2013 info would retain
    in registry key after removing, and then Microsoft Windows update center will check this info to send the updates.
    On the other hand, it also might be related to
    MSOCache folder. if we have it in C:\Windows, please try to remove it. (Please backup it before remove)
    Next, if this issue still exists, Please try to upload the WindowsUpdate.log through OneDrive, we could do deep research. (Location: C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log)

    It's recommended to download and install
    Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office
    programs.

  • Installing Project 2013 on multiple computers

    If Project 2013 is installed on a laptop, and later that laptop is replaced, can the same license be used on a new laptop, if the original project installation is uninstalled?

    Hi,
    As far as I can understand from this
    blog, Office 2013 products (such as Project) are now transferable.

  • Visio and Project 2013 silent install returns immediately (before install is finished)

    Hi,
    I am building a task sequence that will include Office 2010 ProPlus (volume license), a bunch of other products (like SQL Server and Visual Studio) and also Visio 2013 and Project 2013.
    For Visio 2013 and Project 2013, I have to use the retail media (this is for use in academic computer labs and we have a single retail key through DreamSpark Premium that allows unlimited activations - I don't know why DreamSpark doesn't just give a volume
    license key).
    I managed to get Visio 2013 and Project 2013 to install silently by modifying the config.xml file and using the /config parameter. However, when running my install script (the usual VBScript wrapper) or just from the command line, the command returns before
    setup finishes (literally within less than a second). Setup continues to run and finishes successfully, but as you can imagine, MDT considers that application install finished and tries to move on to the next application which fails because another installation
    is still in progress.
    I've included below the relevant portion of the VBScript wrapper. Any help in figuring out how to get the wrapper to wait for the installer to finish is appreciated.
    sSetupFile = oUtility.ScriptDir & "\Source\setup.exe"
    sArguments = "/config vispror.ww\config.xml"
    oLogging.CreateEntry oUtility.ScriptName & ": Starting installation", LogTypeInfo
    // Check for existence of setup file omitted
    iRetVal = oUtility.RunWithHeartbeat("""" & sSetupFile & """ " & sArguments)
    Coincidentally, iRetVal = 0 indicating success.
    Thanks,
    SA

    Hi SA,
    Obviously you use the VBS wrapper for some reason. To my understanding this behaviour needs to be captured and translated to "script is till busy, when installation completes script is finished, proceed to next step".
    I can only advise you to either try the command line directly in MDT, instead of using the VBS wrapper, and/or try to create an MSP and try this in your VBS wrapper, command line directly in MDT.
    MSP files are easily created by going into command prompt to the sources folder of Visio / Project and execute the following command: setup.exe /admin this will start the Office Customization Tool which enables you to create an MSP file.
    When you are ready, execute the following command to install the application with the settings in the MSP: setup.exe /adminfile custom.msp
    Again I can imagine the purpose of the VBS just as I can imagine the purpose of using the config.xml above a custom.msp. But for starters this should get you going to try to find an resolve where the issue lies. In the VBS or somewhere else.
    Cheers!

  • Project 2013 not installing - Boot strapper error

    I have Office 2007 on my home PC, along with Lync 2010 - I need to edit Project 2013 files so have opted to download the 60 day trial image file - this has burnt to CD nicely, but when installing I get the Setup Boot Strapper has stopped working message.
    Has anyone worked out a way that allows a single product to be installed that doesn't require me to un-install my other office products?
    Thanks,

  • Can't save free download of project 2013

    I am trying to download the free trial of project 2013.  The download window opens and asks where I want to save it.  I put in the location and press ok, the error message "can't save to that location" keeps coming up no matter where
    I try to save it.  I have tried both the 32 and 64 bit downloads.  I am running windows 7.  I'm using Google Chrome and I downloaded the installer that came up prior to the installation window.  Please help!

    Hello. Shouldn't make a difference but have you tried with a different browser? Is it a personal machine or a company machine? If the later you may have restrictions on the machine that prevent it. Paul

  • App-V 5.0: Adding Visio 2013 and Project 2013 to a previously deployed virtual Office 2013

    Good morning.
    I can successfully deploy Office 2013 via PowerShell and App-V v5.0 without difficulty.  I've read the document at
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2915745/en-us and followed all instructions successfully.
    My question is this:  If Office 2013 without Visio 2013 or Project 2013 is virtually deployed, how can those components be added later?
    For instance, we may have 100 users that acquire a virtualized Office 2013 without Project or Visio.  We then may have 25 users that require a virtualized Office and Visio without Project and, perhaps, another 15 that require Office and Project without
    Visio.
    Currently, when I attempt a second virtual deployment of one of these components, it removes Office 2013 making it inaccessible.
    How can Project and/or Visio be deployed to an already existing virtually deployed Office 2013?
    Thanks very much.

    As a part of MDOP, you'll also have access to UE-V which will provide a mechanism of moving user preferences across the same applications from difference packages.
    It will require planning, configuration and deployment, but will ensure you don't face the same issue in the future.

  • Project 2013 - entering work hours at a monthly level

    Hi all, 
    Any help with this 'hopefully small' problem will be hugely appreciated. It's not so much a problem, but
    me still being new to Project - sorry! As a summary of what I am working with:
    I have entered a list of tasks (all set to Manually Scheduled).
    I have entered a number of resources into the Resource List. 
    I have also assigned relevant resources to the tasks. 
    Using the Task Usage view, I would now like to begin entering Work hours for the resources assigned to the
    tasks. We are planning at a monthly level, so I know how many hours each resource is expecting to be spending on each task over each month. 
    I have set the Timescale of my Task Usage screen to a monthly scale, thinking that this would allow me to
    enter total hours for each month. As an example, one of the resources assigned to a task is set for 15 hours of Work in April. It all seems to look OK on input. 
    My problem is however, I would like the Start and Finish fields to reflect this, and span over the months
    in which the Task's resources will be doing work. It doesn't seem to pick up the month accurately. Although I have entered the 15 hours in the column labelled April, the Start and Finish dates have come out as 30/04/14 and 30/05/14 respectively. I was hoping
    the Start and Finish times of that row to be 01/04/14 and 30/04/14 respectively, but they are a month out of line, and has show the work to be happening over May, not April. Is there y way I can change this?
    I hope this makes sense as a question? Any help at all would be brilliant. Please do let me know if I've
    missed any detail and you need some more info. I'll also continue looking through the forums to check if this has already been asked. 
    p.s. I tried to upload an annotated image, but my account needs to be verified first. Do I need to do anything to request this? I didn't receive any usual 'verification' links in MS's email on opening this account.
    Thanks very much,

    Hi John, Julie,
    Thank you both very much for the help! Yes good spot, I did post it on both forums (http://www.msofficeforums.com/project/21190-project-2013-entering-work-hours-monthly-level.html) - it's been years since I've used forums of any kind, and it's great to see
    experts being active across multiple sites! 
    I have given both suggestions a try, but unfortunately am still not quite there yet. 
    John, although your tip seems to work OK, I think I was hoping to find a way for the Start and Finish times to automatically span across the Work hours I have entered. If I was to then enter another 5 hours, but this time for March, the Start-Finish dates
    should auto update to be 01/03/14 - 30/04/14. I understand now that this may require me to be on an Automatically Scheduled project? 
    Julie, your screen shot on the msofficeforums.com website is exactly what I am looking to achieve! I would like to enter month-level Work data, and that looks to be exactly that. I did try entering a zero in the month immediately after the last month that
    had hours in it, but Project seemed to simply ignore it, with no visible change to the dates. 
    I have done some further investigating, and there does seem to be something different happening with my Project version (it's Proj Prof 2013). I have access to another computer with Project 2010 installed on it, and this doesn't seem to cause an issue. Note,
    I did need to have set the tasks as Auto Scheduled. 
    Essentially, if I try and exactly replicate Julie's example on both versions with the following steps, I get slightly different results:
    Tasks set to Auto-Scheduled. 
    Set Project Start Date to 01/01/14
    Enter some resources. 
    Switch to Task Usage view. 
    Set the Timescales on the right hand side to: Bottom tier=Months, Middle tier=Quarters. 
    Enter a task. 
    Assign resources to the task. At this point, by default 8 hours worth of work appears for each assigned resource. In 2010, these hours appear in the January 14 column. But on my 2013 laptop however, these hours appear under the December 2013 column. Strange?
    Anyway, in both cases I clear these default hours by entering zeros in their places.
    I now enter 15 hours under April 2014 for one of the resources on the task.
    In 2010, the Start and Finish dates of the assigned resource's row update to 01/04/14 - 30/04/14.
    In 2013 however, the Start and Finish dates update to 30/04/14 - 30/05/14. 
    I have a feeling that this discrepancy is perhaps at the heart of my problem? Is there a setting with the application that I am not making?
    Thanks again, 
    Arjun

  • Acrobat XI no longer works after installing Project 2013

    Hello All,
    This one is really odd and I can't find any documentation anywhere.  I have a client that has Office 2010 and Acrobat XI Standard.  I just installed Project 2013 on the machine and now right clicking on any Office file will not show the option
    to create PDF.  He can right-click on a Project file and create one but not on any other Office file.  I have never seen this before.  Any thoughts?
    Regards,
    Rob Battaglia

    Yes I have - no luck.  This system is using Office 2010 x64 and Project 2013 x64.  This all happened after installing Project.  The right click on a file works for Project just not for Office.  I did check to make sure the add-in was
    present for both Excel and Word - PDFMaker.dll is selected in both and the user can create PDF files from within Word and Excel - just not when right-clicking on the file in Windows Explorer.
    Regards,
    Rob Battaglia
