Microsoft Excel is not installed; install Microsoft Excel Viewer

When executing BW reports from the GUI, the following error is received.  Reports run directly from excel seem to work fine.
"Microsoft Excel is not installed; install Microsoft Excel Viewer"
This error is occuring on machines that were recently upgraded to SAP GUI 7.20 patch 7 and BW 3.5 patch 5.  In some cases  but not all, running a repair on Excel resolves the issue.  However, we do not want to have to run a repair on all machines that will be upgraded.    Does anyone no the root cause and an easier solution for this issue?

Hi,
Please refer simmilar discussion at Please Install Excel as Viewer
I hope this will solve your problem.
Thanks,
Chandra

  • Microsoft Word Has Not Been Installed for the Current User

    Hi, everybody
    I'm just starting our attempt to put together ZfD app packages for MS Office 2007. I've tried 2 different route with poor results for each. I'm looking for guidance and suggestions and, hey really, the simple final solution. :)
    Objectives: Each app package will install locally one of the Office apps (e.g., Word) if it is not installed and then launch it, otherwise it will launch it. It gets installed locally to the C: drive using all the MS default choices, but runs from the desktop ZEN/NAL shortcut. All desktops are XP, not Vista or W7.
    Routes tried and failed...
    1) Simple app, uses distribution and run scripts to figure out if already installed, then installs using network shared drive and config.xml file for just the one app. The result ought to work -- no particular error in the package, those are fixed -- but what happens is something different each time with the MS setup.exe, and it never does complete without its own error (various and different each time). So, this appears to be completely unreliable because launching MS's setup.exe from a simple app is unpredictable and incomplete.
    2) Snapshot of a successful setup.exe and config.xml install. This ALMOST works... well it does in fact work but the snapshotted app gives an error once it finishes launching -- "Microsoft Word Has Not Been Installed for the Current User" -- and exits. From the research I've done on this message, the MS program sees the "wrong" Windows profile on the destination environment, compared to that in the snapshot, and figures it's now been installed from a bootleg copy of Office 2007.
    At this stage all I can think of is expletives. We've paid for everything, I've followed all the usual and customary steps, played by the rules, been polite (and also used the necessary computer swear words), and now I just want to insult everyone in Microsoft's marketing department for ruining everyone's life yet again. Can't we just do this, is it too much to ask!?!
    Please help me. What is really going to work for distributing and maintaining Office 2007 apps using our ZfD environment? ALL USEFUL SUGGESTIONS WELCOME. Thank you. Bless you.

    These questions are really best in the Microsoft Office Forums.
    These are MS Office Questions not ZEN Questions.
    Novell did not design Microsoft's Office Install.
    I have nothing against snapshots, but it does not work great with the Office
    installs, which you yourself know since you are posting here with problems
    based on that.
    And your other method you are trying with the break out is not working well.
    We also know that from experience.
    We can tell you that the way most people install it and the way most people
    succeed doing it, is by doing it the way recommended and designed by
    Microsoft.
    ZEN does that just fine.

  • My microsoft word will not open, my microsoft word will not open

    Help I just downloadedMountain Lion, then went to open Microsoft Word and Powerpoint and  it won't open.

    Hopefully you did a search before posting a new thread on this problem.  A few people have been having issues with Word, and it's sometimes related to not having Office updated properly before upgrading. It may also be third-party configs making the Office setup screwy. I can attest that a fresh install of Office 2008 works fine under ML.
    This thread covers some of the issues regarding Office 2008:

  • Error occured at Class not registered... Because Excel is not installed?

    I received the following error while trying to run an application built with LV 7.1:
    Error -2147221164 occured at Class not registered in Open_Excel.vi > Report_generation_excel_Tbeta WITH new layout.vi > Mirror_Cycling_Main tbeta-2.vi
    Could this be because Excel is not yet installed on the computer?  Will there be a problem if Excel is installed after the 7.1 Runtime Engine and LabVIEW drivers?
    Also, should I stay away from installing higher versions of Excel than what was originally used?
    Would it be possible to create a VI like this with the base version of 8.2?  I'm not certain what some of the controls on the front panel are and 7.1 does not give me additional information in the help dialog- if someone could give me the names of the various components circled in red in the attached JPG I would appreciate it. 
    Thanks,

  • My imac is running mountain lion and last night i downloaded maverick. in midst of installing it it said a powerPC app microsoft word would not work so i canceled the install for the time being. my questions is  if i choose to finish installing maverick

    my imac is running mountain lion and last night i downloaded maverick. in midst of installing it, it said a powerPC app microsoft word would not work so i canceled the install for the time being. my questions is  if i choose to finish installing maverick does that mean i will nevver be able to access word documents stored on my desktop? or do the word docs automatically convert to pages or what? i am so confused. would i be better off just sticking with mountain lion and send the maverick install to the trash? hoping someone will be able to answer my question though i am afraid the response is likely to be just stick with mountain lion so you can keep using word. i had been looking forward to maverick but it seems pretty drastic to not have access to microsoft word anymore by switching to maverick. hope someone has an answer so i can have the best of both worlds so to speak!

    thanks for your response Csound1 on the peninsula ... if i go ahead and install maverick and then download LibreOffice or OpenOffice will i then be able to access old microsoft word saved documents on my deskstop through those two free alternatives? i am not that knowledgeable about these things so i am not sure if you are saying i will just be able to use libreoffice or openoffice for creating new documents or whether i can access the saved microsoft docs? are they transferred to OO or LO or what and if editing of the old word docs is needed can i do that through the OO and LO programs or apps (see i am not even sure if i am using the correct vocabulary!) hope you can answer this as quick as the first question, so i can decide to stick with mountain lion and trash the maverick install or proceed with maverick install and hoppe that my microsoft word docs are still accessible through OO or LO or adding to myquestion will pages on maverick be able to open the old word documents? thanks again!

  • Microsoft Office icons not installed after latest update

    Just updated OS X Yosemite to 10.10.1. Microsoft Office 2011 icons have not been installed on the dock and do not appear in 'applications'

    What do you mean by, they don't "appear in 'applications'?"
    Are the Office applications not in the Microsoft Office 2011 folder in Applications?
    Or, do the icons not show on those apps?

  • Autocad 2010 drawing pasted in microsoft excel 2007 spread sheet not visible after converting excel

    Hello, I am having an issue with Autocad 2010 drawings not showing up in a pdf document. Normally, I cut and paste part of an Autocad 2010 drawing into a Microsoft Excel 2007 spread sheet. Then, using Adobe Distiller, I convert the Excel spread sheet into a pdf document for propriatary purposes. However, recently the drawing pasted into Excel will not fully appear on the pdf, the drawing is cut off past a certain point. The drawing will print normally in Excel, but in pdf will not print normally. If the drawing is shrunk below the "cut off" point, it appears normally. If the drawing is expanded above the "cut off" point, any additional image is lost. Any suggestions on how to fix the problem would be appreciated.

  • "A supported version of Microsoft Word does not exist. Please install Microsoft Word 2000 or newer."

    I am a new RoboHelp user und I want to import content written with Word 2013 into RoboHelp.
    I'm using RH HTML 9.0.2 and MS Word 2013 (Office 2013) on a Windows 7 professional computer.
    When I try to import a Word-Document (I downloaded and used the example document from Peter Grainge and also tried other Word-documents) I get the following message:
    "A supported version of Microsoft Word does not exist. Please install Microsoft Word 2000 or newer."
    What can I do?

    The error message is wrong as regards the version you need to install. It should state that you need a compatible version and the latest is Office 2010. Even Rh10 does not support Office 2013.
    There is a workaround when generating printed documentation but not when importing. You need to install Word 2010 which can co-exist with Word 2013 if you want to retain that for other purposes. Before using Rh to import, run Word 2010 first.
    To generate printed documentation using Word 2013, right click Properties in the layout, it works from there.
    See www.grainge.org for RoboHelp and Authoring tips
