Installing Office Web Apps Server 2013 fails with app-crash during install.

Hi Folks,
I am trying to install Office Web Apps Server 2013 with SP1 on Server 2012 R2.  The installation gets half way through then crashes (it just says a problem has occurred).
The Event log only contains the message:-
 MsiExec.exe version .5.09....
Faulting module name: Kernelbase.dll
Exception Code 0x306d7363, Faulting process id: 0x774.
Does anyone know how to install this product on Server 2012 R2?

Hi,
I’m afraid that this case is off-topic in this forum, About installation of Office Web Apps Server 2013, I suggest you posting your case to
SharePoint 2013 - Setup, Upgrade, Administration and Operations .

Marvin

  • Will Office Web Apps Server 2013 work with SharePoint 2013 sites hosted in SP2010 compatibility mode?

    We are planning a upgrade of a SP2010 farm to 2013. There has been a bit of customization so we wish to run the old sites on the new SP2013 platform in SP2010 compatibility mode.
    So my question is will Office Web Apps Server 2013 work with the old sites hosted in compatibility mode?
    I found a similar query from March 2014 found here 
    http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/93101/office-web-apps-2010-running-on-sharepoint-2013-for-compatibility-mode-sites/116281#116281 
    Has there been an update released to resolve this
    Cheers D

    Hi  ,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you need to know whether Office Web Apps 2013 is working with SharePoint 2013 sites which is in SharePoint 2010 compatibility mode.
    For my test, Office Web Apps 2013 with SharePoint 2013 sites which is in SharePoint 2010 compatibility mode is working fine.
    Thanks,

  • SharePoint 2013 Anonymous (public) site and Office Web Apps Server 2013 issue with download.aspx

    Our organization has a public facing anonymous site in SharePoint 2013 which allows access to documents (docx) in a library.  ViewFormsLockdown is activated as we present the documents via CQWP / custom template.  We are combating the usual
    issue of multiple login prompts when using Internet Explorer when a user accesses said document.  We also have tried  using the Word Viewer (view only mode) from Office Web Apps Server 2013 which works well, but ...
    the problem stems from the fact that users can go the file menu from the word view and choose to download the document (which is what we want),  unfortunately it looks like the link redirects via /_layouts/15/download.aspx which also presents a login
    prompt. Much has been written out there about doing direct links for documents via /_layouts/download.aspx to address multiple login prompts when the document is opening in word (from IE).
    I've tried nearly every combination of recommendations (disabling client integration, browser file handling (permissive/strict), ViewFormsLockdown feature, web.config modifications with options and propfind verbs and more) all to varying levels of success,
    but never totally getting rid of the prompt.  It has been stated that because the downloads.aspx inherits from Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.Download this will not allow anonymous access.  We really want to use the word view from the Office
    web app and have the file download functionality work from the menu there ... can anyone suggest an alternate fix?  I might be wishing but will appreciate any guidance offered ...
    cheers,
    Dean

  • Office Web Apps Server 2013 - Word Web App - Problem with Tab space

    Hello We have Office Web Apps Server 2013 running with SharePoint 2013.  Users Editing a Word document with Office Web Apps, can't use "Tabs", any Word document with Tabs; the tabs are replaced with a single space.
    Has anyone noticed this?  Is this a bug?
    -thanks
    thomas
    -Tom

    Yes, currently the Word Web App does not support
    Tab Keyboard shortcut for editing document content .
    For more information, you can have a look at
    the article:

  • Printing Word documents to PDF from Office Web Apps Server 2013 yields inaccessible PDF files

    I have Office Web Apps Server 2013 SP1 with March 2015 CU applied. The version shows up as "15.0.4569.1506" using Todd Klindt's
    method. When anonymous users view the Word documents online through the Office Web Apps, they have an option to print them to PDF. The PDF file that gets generated as a result isn't accessible
    (i.e. it isn't WCAG-compliant). using Adobe Acrobat Pro to check it I can see that it is missing tags, for example. The source Word document was made fully accessible from the point of view of Microsoft Office accessibility tools.
    When viewing the same document in Word Online in Office 365, I get an extra option  "Download as PDF". The PDF document produced is accessible. If I save a Word 2013 document as a PDF from within the Word editor, it also generates accessible
    PDF.
    I was wondering if the reason for the accessibility problem that I have misconfigured my on-premises Office Web Apps,  or perhaps the accessibility compliance isn't built in yet. If the latter is true, I was wondering if someone could indicate whether
    or not this is on the list of upcoming CUs.
    thanks in advance. 

    Just check my WAC install, no this is likely an Office online only feature, at least at this point in time.

  • Office web apps server 2013 install issue

    Dear All,
    when i install office web apps server in  a new server(OS:Windows Server 2008 SP1) with PowerShell Scripts it keep the installing status for more than four hours .  
    what should i do now ,i think it should not take such long time  as i do the same installing in the other server before which takes less than 1 hours.
    beg your suggestions!

    Hey
    please take these points into your considerations:
    - OWA server can be installed on Windows server 2008 R2 or Windows server 2012
    - Log in as administrator and preferred to use domain administrator account specially to create new office web apps farm
    - run the script  
    Add-WindowsFeature Web-Server,Web-Mgmt-Tools,Web-Mgmt-Console,Web-WebServer,Web-Common-Http,Web-Default-Doc,Web-Static-Content,Web-Performance,Web-Stat-Compression,Web-Dyn-Compression,Web-Security,Web-Filtering,Web-Windows-Auth,Web-App-Dev,Web-Net-Ext45,Web-Asp-Net45,Web-ISAPI-Ext,Web-ISAPI-Filter,Web-Includes,InkandHandwritingServices,NET-Framework-Features,NET-Framework-Core

  • Office Web App Server 2013: cannot edit word document with own WOPI Server

    Hi all,
    I tried to build our own WOPI Server to connect to Office Web App Server 2013 SP1. Viewing documents
    in IE was possible quite easy to achieve. Now it comes to editing.
    When I try to edit a document, I got a german message “Sie verfügen leider nicht über die Berechtigung zum Bearbeiten dieses Dokuments“.
    This means something like „Sorry, you do not have any permission to modify this document”.
    I enabled editing on the OWAS-Server while setup procedure
    (Until now, I only have an InternalUrl but no ExternalUrl.)
    PS C:\ > New-OfficeWebAppsFarm –InternalUrl “https://win-owas...” 
    –CertificateName "win-owas…" –EditingEnabled
    ULS log shows
    BaseDocument says editing is not supported [WebEditingEnabled: True] [SupportsEditing: True] [PinnedUsersRights: Read] 
    So far, I implemented these three REST service methods:
    [OperationContract]
    [WebInvoke
    "GET":"api/wopi/files/{name}?access_token={access_token}"
    "GET":"api/wopi/files/{name}/contents?access_token={access_token}"
    "POST":"api/wopi/files/{name}/contents?access_token={access_token}"
    Office Web App Server was downloaded from “Microsoft Volume Licensing Center”. I installed latest updates from Microsoft.
    Did anybody succeed in writing to own WOPI an can give me some hints?
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi,
    The discovery xml contains many lines. The one for editing docx is:
    <action
    name="edit"
    urlsrc="https://win-owas.cado.camos.de/we/wordeditorframe.aspx?"<ui=UI_LLCC=""&><rs=DC_LLCC=""&><showpagestats=PERFSTATS=""&>"
    ext="docx" requires="locks,cobalt,update"/>
    I am calling it this way:
    <iframe
    src="https://win-owas.cado.camos.de/we/wordeditorframe.aspx?WOPISrc=http%3a%2f%2fpc-ms.cado.camos.de%3a8000%2fWOPI%2fapi%2Fwopi%2Ffiles%2FAbout_Keyboard_Input.docx&access_token=5268690b-19c6-496d-8ae6-b694f8e7bd0c"
    I’m not sure whether or not I implemented "locks,cobalt,update" correct, but I do not see any ‘edit-’network traffic from OWAS-Server to WOPI-Server. So I cannot debug anything. I will (re)check the articles you mentioned.
    Thank you for your help.

  • Can you install the Office Web Application Server on one of the App Servers for SharePoint 2013?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to run Office Web Application Server (shows preview images for docs and allows Notepad, Word, Excel to work etc) on one of the SharePoint 2013 App Servers. I don't want to have to create a new server. It talks about setting
    up a farm. 
    Better still how the feck do you switch this functionlity off - I always remember it being a pain in the arse. We accidentally ran the first part of the configuration on one of the SharePoint App Servers only to find out our subscription does not
    have this download (bar stewards changed this Nov 2014 - just after started contract).    
    Help would be much appreciated as close to go live
    Thanks.
    John.

    Hi John,
    Please reboot the server at the very beginning and test the issue again.
    Quote from you:
    Problem is I get Internet Web Page cannot display the webpage everytime I click in a excel document, powerpoint document, notebook link or the preview
    Please post the url in browser address here.
    If you just executed the command below:
    Add-WindowsFeature Web-Server,Web-Mgmt-Tools,Web-Mgmt-Console,Web-WebServer,Web-Common-Http,Web-Default-Doc,Web-Static-Content,Web-Performance,Web-Stat-Compression,Web-Dyn-Compression,Web-Security,Web-Filtering,Web-Windows-Auth,Web-App-Dev,Web-Net-Ext45,Web-Asp-Net45,Web-ISAPI-Ext,Web-ISAPI-Filter,Web-Includes,InkandHandwritingServices
    It just install some windows feature to the current server, we can find it should be done before installing several server products.
    Could you please verify if the command you executed is the same as the one above?
    You could also go to local disk and check if there is OfficeWebApps folder under C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\?
    If you check in Control Panel > Programs, is there any feature related to Office Web Apps?
    If you have confirmed there is no Office Web Apps feature installed, please go to SharePoint document library settings, and make the document to open in client, does it work?

  • Using Office Web Apps Server 2013 without SharePoint, Lync, or Exchange

    I'm trying to use the Office Web Apps Server 2013 as an online viewer of Office documents (using the Online Viewer). I've set up a New-OfficeWebAppsFarm with editing disabled, no UNC paths, and an external URL with SSL Offloaded to my Load balancer.
    I don't want to use it with SharePoint, Lync or Exchange. Just use it to view documents online (similar to Google Docs Viewer).
    However, when I point the Office Web Apps Server to a remote file online (e.x. a DOC hosted on a website), I get an error opening it.
    I've checked the health statuses of my OWA Servers, and it says Healthy.
    When I check the Event viewer of my OWA Server, I see 501 WOPI errors:
    Could not contact WOPI End Point. Error details - 'NotImplemented url - https://sample-owa-url.com/oh/wopi/files/@/wFileId?wFileId=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eimr%2Esandia%2Egov%2Fimrtemplate%2Edoc&access_token=1&access_token_ttl=0'.
    It seems OWA is trying to connect to the path /oh/wopi/files....  but the server is responding NotImplemented.
    What do I have to get this to work?
    Thanks for any help!

    Did you ever find an answer? I have the exact same Issue.
    I have 2 WAC servers behind a load balancer with SSL offloaded to the LB. Both servers report healthy with Get-OfficeWebAppsMachine
    Works fine with SharePoint 2013.
    When I use it with a remote file, served using HTTP with no authentication (anonymous), I get a generic "Sorry there was a problem and we can't open this document..." error.
    In the ULS and event viewer, I see the WOPI error and 501 which basically says:
    Could not contact WOPI End Point. Error details - 'NotImplemented url - https://sample-owa-url.com/oh/wopi/files/@/wFileId?wFileId=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Blah%2Ecom%2FWordDocument%2Edocx&access_token=1&access_token_ttl=0'.
    I also sometimes see this:
    <HealthMessage>WordViewerWfeWatchdog reported status for WebWordViewer in category 'WfeRedirect'. Reported status: /default.aspx returned a 404, which means that we didn't have where to redirect.</HealthMessage> 
    The very interesting part s that I have a dev server, with OWA (WAC) installed, thats not going through a LB and does not use SSL, that works just fine with the same public url word document.

  • Office Web Apps Server 2013 - No download Volume Licensing Service Center

  • Office web apps server 2013 - launching search on loading page

    Hello!
    I use Office Web Apps Server 2013 for viewing documents on internal portal (it is not SharePoint, and documents is read only) with automatic generating links. Links are generated according instruction
    on http://<OWA host>/op/generate.aspx (for example, http://<OWA host>/op/view.aspx?src=<path to file>).
    I have some questions:
    1) In some cases, when a document is openedI want
    immediately start the search with some terms.
    Can I give terms
    to search in url params in generated url? For example, http://<OWA host>/op/view.aspx?src=<path to file>#search=<terms>?
    Is there any other
    way to run a search on page load?
    2) I want to use multi-term search (when my search query is 'tame tamed taming', and
    all individual words ('tame', 'tamed', 'taming')
    are highlighted in document).
    Is there a way to do it?
    3)I want to use whole-word search (when my search query is'act', and words 'practice' or 'action' are not
    highlighted in document).
    Is there a way to do it?

    Hi Jazzy.em
    Thanks for posting in MSDN forum.
    This forum is for developers discussing developing issues about
    apps for Office. Since the issue is more about Office web app, I suggest that you get more effective response from
    Office 365 forum.
    The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us.
    Thanks for your understanding.

    Your issue is completely different. You are running Snow Leopard. There is no download for Windows Support software for Snow Leopard, hence the error you see. Snow Leopard Windows Support software is on the Snow Leopard installation disk.
    You need the Snow Leopard installation disk or a replacement for it.
