Microsoft Office 2013 Outlook errors due to it wants to connect to MS exchange
Every time I try to load Outlook 2013 it gives me an error: The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action and when I click on it, it keeps going in a loop. What to do to correct it will
not launch without exchange server and I have it. Any suggestions? And I download MS Exchange 2010 SP1x64 still nothing
Same issue here. I have the Surface Pro and only one Outlook Exchange Server account will connect. They other one gives the same Microsoft Exchange is unavailable error. The funny part is that these are both work email accounts that connect
to the same server, but one works and the other does not. I can ping the server no problem.
I have spent probably a total of 15 hours on the phone with Microsoft Office CS. There's 15 hours I will never get back. To say they were useless would be an understatement. Half the time they just took down the issues and then said I had
reached the wrong department and transferred me. I got transferred 11 times on one phone call. No one even tried to help.
So unless Microsoft can come up with a solution to this I am taking the Surface Pro back. This is really disappointing. I was really hoping that Microsoft could be an alternative the Apple Universe. Seems like they chose gimickery over
functionality. Windows 8 looks pretty and does some neat stuff, but sending and receiving emails is the most basic of the basics you expect from your PC.
If anyone has a solution from Microsoft please post it here.

Hi All,
I originally posted this in the MS Support forums (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-outlook/recieveing-onucappointmentgetvisible-error-in/1a40eca2-8cd1-40f1-a92f-cb08f0af6b72), but was directed over here.
I have recently upgraded an installation of Office 2010 to 2013 (both 64 bit) but am now receiving an error which says:
Window Title - "Custom UI Runtime Error in Lync Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office 2013"
An error occured while calling the callback: "OnUCAppointmentGetVisible"
This seem to happen when I initially open a calender entry, and when I close the entry (most only the first time I close the entry).
I did have some developer tools installed for Office 2010 and VS 2010 which played around with Excel,2013 but I have now uninstalled these.
In addition, BCM 2010 was installed (but for the time being has been uninstalled), but I don't think that is the culprit.
The issue is being caused be an Outlook add-in. I have three COM add-in enabled, but the one causing the issue in the "Lync Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office 2013".
We are currently trialling Lync in a demo installation which is in a different domain to any of the Exchange accounts, but should this cause a problem? For the time being I have disable this add-in.
Regards,
Chris
ChrisHi,
Sorry for my misunderstanding. If the issue is determined to be caused by Lync Meeting Add-in, please remove this add-in from Outlook, then go to Control Panel to repair Office 2013 program. After repairing,
this add-in would be automatically reinstalled. Please check whether the issue persists. About how to repair Office programs, please refer to:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/repair-office-programs-HA010357402.aspx
If the Lync Meeting Add-in is not automatically reinstalled, please try to manually add this add-in by the following steps:
1. Starting Outlook 2013 as an Administrator (right click, run as Admin).
2. Click File > Options > Add-ins, Manage Com Add-Ins Go... > Add..., C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\UCAddin.dll, OK.
3. Close Outlook and start it as a normal user.

Please help me on this ASAP.
Thanks & Regards,
Sachin ShindeHi,
As mentioned in ths article below, run for Office 365 products on to a Remote Desktop Session Host server is not supported. You can install Office products for Office 365 to a virtual desktop, but the virtual desktop must be assigned to a single user.

Microsoft office 2013 encountered an error during setup in Window 8.1
Initially, I got microsoft office 2013 64bit standard version installed in window 8.1. However, it suddenly got errors when opening office, and closed the program automatically. Therefore, I uninstalled it, and tried to re-install office.
However, I got the error "microsoft office 2013 encountered an error during setup" everytime when I try to install it.
I tried 32-bit and 64 bit version, and tried to install in clean boot, deleted registry, and modified the folder name "Microsoft Help", but none of them works.Make sure you completely uninstall previous versions of Office. There may be remnants left behind, even after you uninstall Office using the normal procedure. I recommend using the “Fix It” utility to uninstall Office 2013 completely. Please refer to this
article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2739501/en-us you might also follow the manual steps provided on the same page.
If you still having problems, re-registering the Windows Installer and checking permissions on the %TEMP% folder and the C:\Windows\Installer folder to make sure you have full-control. To re-register the Windows Installer run the following commands:
msiexec /unregister
msiexec /register -

Office 2013 outlook (not responding) opening attachments over a WAN link
Before I get to the question I'll give you some info about our arcitecture.
We have 7 remote sites each with 5mb connections.
5-10 computer at each site
We are running exchange 2010 centrally from one server on a 20mb connection.
All clients are running windows 7 64bit with office 2013
We recetly upgraded from office 2003 to 2013 when this problem started.
If a user clicks on an attachment from one of our remote sites, and if the attachment is larger than 150kb the outlook client displays (not responding) for up to two minutes. If you wait long enough the attachment will open without error. It
doesnt matter if its a word docuemnt, PDF, JPG they all respond the same. There are several active application add-ins running I have not tried to disable any of them yet.
Acrobat PDFMaker office com addin
Lync meeting addin for microsoft office 2013
microsoft exchange addin
microsoft sharepoint server colleague import addin
microsoft vba for outlook addin
onenote notes about outlook items
outlook social connector 2013
symantec endpoint protection outlook addin
I should also mention theres plenty of bandwidth free at both ends of the pipe. Moving the same file size accross the network literally takes only takes a second or less.
How can I go about troubleshootng this issue further?
Has anyone else experieced this?
What have you done to fix it?Hi,
According to your description, I understand that all attachments in Outlook are opened slowly since updating Outlook 2003 to 2013. Please confirm whether all users encounter this issue. Also check whether the issue continues in cached mode and in OWA.
Based on your post, I suggest we can try to disable the following add-ins to check whether the issue persists:
Acrobat PDFMaker office com addin
symantec endpoint protection outlook addin
If there is any updates, please feel free to let us know.
Thanks,

so pls help me to resolve this errorRetail editions of Office can't be used on RDS/TS - only Volume Licensing editions can be used.
Recently, Office365ProPlus was updated to provide "Shared Computer Activation", but this doesn't apply to Retail editions such as H&B.

Hello,
How can i add the shortcuts for Office 2013 feature (Word, excel, ext) to the users taskbar or desktop with using config.xml file while installing the Microsoft Office 2013 from SCCM?
I know how to do that with OCT, but i have another problem if i use OCT. So i have to do it with Config.file, but i don't know which code can i write on config.xml file to create shortcut on desktop or taskbar...
Regards,Hi
There is a known issue about
changing the shortcut location for an Office 2013 application:
When you try to change the shortcut locations for Office 2013 applications in the Office Customization Tool (OCT), you receive the following error message:
Invalid start in folder. Please try again.
Then, you add the Start in location for Office 2013 and run a customized installation. When you double-click the shortcuts that are displayed on the desktop, Configure shortcuts does
not work and you receive the following error message:
Sorry, we couldn’t find your file. Is it possible it was moved, renamed or deleted?
To work around this issue, type a single open bracket ([) in the Start in
field.
In addition, refer to the link below on "Configure shortcuts" in OCT:

Office 2013 Updates Error - Mapped Drive
Event ID 11327
Product: Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 -- Error 1327. Invalid Drive: V:\
Event ID 1023:
Product: Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 - Update 'Update for Microsoft Office 2013 (KB2956177) 32-Bit Edition' could not be installed. Error code 1603
Error within Software Center: The software change returned error code 0x80070643.
These errors only occur while updating through SCCM 2012 R2 automatic software updates. I can download the update directly from the Microsoft site and install without any errors. I am a new to SCCM, but was able to push out updates for Windows 7 and Office
2010 without errors. After further testing I found that editing the Office 2013 install with the customization tool would allow the update to run. My MSP file custom install has "Remove Files" set to delete links on a mapped network drive (V:\).
I am not sure how Office 2013 updates through SCCM (only) would care about a custom install portion that should be unrelated.
I plan to exclude the V drive file removals from the custom install and just do it from a script. However, I am not sure what to do about updating the machines which currently have 2013 installed and constantly error while updating through SCCM.you are getting into different things here. Creating the ADR and runs every-time ? Microsoft do not release patches everyday and there is no point running the ADR everytime.coming to the question , how did you create and update the MSP for the Office Update
file ? using ADR ,for deploying the updates,you will not have facility to control the command line options . for the drive letter issue (Product:
Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 -- Error 1327), you can refer
http://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/327763. you can try installing the MS office 2013 on a PC without any drive mappings and try the update. I suppose the issue could be with the drive mapping something related.

Microsoft Office 2013 has stopped working
Please can you help? My PC is running Windows 8 Professional Plus 64 bit. I downloaded and installed Microsoft Office 2013 32 bit and it worked perfectly until I changed my graphics card to an Asus Radeon HD6450 Silent. Since then, all
the programmes, Outlook, Word, Excel etc. have stopped working. I have Microsoft Office 2010 32 bit installed as well and that is still working fine.
I have tried removing COM Add-ins and have also repaired MS Office 2013 but neither have worked. I have read the KB article but the driver dlumd32.dll does not appear to be installed on my machine. All the applications will run in Safe Mode.
I have uninstalled Office 2013 and re-installed it but at the end of the installation I got the ‘Microsoft Office has stopped working’ message.

By checking the event log you provided, it seems this problem also occurs with Internet Explorer, isn't it?
And most of them are related to the atidxx32.dll file, I'd suggest we remove the graphics driver and see if this problem will still occur, if no, try to install any ohter version of graphics driver to see if this problem will still occur.

Hi,
I'm planning a mass deployment of Microsoft Office 365 ProPlus with SCCM 2012.
I made my application, and added a supersedence of Microsoft Office 2013.
So when I deploy ProPlus, It first uninstall Office 2013, then reboot, then install Office ProPlus 365
My problem is that when it install Office ProPlus product that I had on Office 2013 and I go in Account tab, I still see "Microsoft Office Standard 2013"
When I see the others product, I see Microsoft Office ProPlus.
I'm sure that Standard is uninstalled first, I can also see in Add/Remove programs that there is no Standard version.
Is that just a bug, or some of my product hasn't migrate on Office 365 Proplus ?
Thanks ! :)@Don, I reboot the client computer after uninstalling Office 2013. Nothing have changed.
@Aravindhan, I'm lauching Office from the start menu. I already tried to just uninstall Office and see what's happen. Office uninstalling correctly. But When I install ProPlus, I can see "Office Standard" in account tab.. (and Standard doesn't
appear in Add/remove programs)
Maybe check c:\windows\temp\SetupExe(YYYYMMDDHHMMxxxxx).log
This is the Office (MSI) setup logfile, to see if there were any uninstallation errors?
Are there any standalone Office products installed previously, e.g. SharePointDesigner or similar ?
It might be necessary to use OFFSCRUB.VBS (from the Office removal Fixit) to clean that up?

Uninstall Microsoft Office 2013 using Invoke-TroubleshootingPack
Hi,
I'm deploying an uninstallation package to uninstall Office 2013 using the ingenious Microsoft Fix it (located here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2739501/en-us)
called O15CTRRemove.
When running it manually, it removes everything that is related to Microsoft Office 2013 and I am able to install a new Office 2013 without any problems (changing from Office 365 to VL).
The problem is as follows:
I need to do this silently on a lot of computers using a deployment tool. I figured out how to use powershell and I'm doing it in the following way:
Import-Module TroubleshootingPack
$DIAGOFFRemoveOff2013 = Get-TroubleshootingPack -Path "C:\Deployment\Office2013Uninstall\O15CTRRemove"
Invoke-TroubleshootingPack -Pack $DIAGOFFRemoveOff2013 -AnswerFile "C:\Deployment\Office2013Uninstall\DIAG_Off_RemoveOff2013.xml" -unattended
I created the Answerfile DIAG_Off_RemoveOff2013.xml in the following way (according tohttp://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2011/02/09/use-powershell-troubleshooting-packs-to-diagnose-remote-problems.aspx):
Get-TroubleshootingPack "C:\Deployment\Office2013Uninstall\O15CTRRemove" -answerfile "C:\Deployment\Office2013Uninstall\DIAG_Off_RemoveOff2013.xml"
It looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Answers Version="1.0" />
When I run the script it works but for some reason, it doesn't work when I run it as system (my deployment tool runs the script as system, and I've tried it manually like this):
psexec -i -s cmd
cmd /C powershell -executionpolicy unrestricted -file "C:\Deployment\Office2013Uninstall\Uninstall_Office2013.ps1"
It just hangs and I can see in eventviewer that it has run a few troubleshooting packs, that the uninstall of Office is complete but it doesn't continue until I force kill sdiagnhost.exe.
If I run the script after killing sdiagnhost.exe, it finishes without a problem.
I have temporarily solved it like this (I run the same job twice, to be sure everything is removed and the second one finishes quickly while the first hangs until the timeout):
Start-Job -ArgumentList -ScriptBlock {
$DIR = "C:\Deployment\Office2013Uninstall"
Import-Module TroubleshootingPack
$DIAGOFFRemoveOff2013 = Get-TroubleshootingPack -Path "${DIR}\O15CTRRemove"
Invoke-TroubleshootingPack -Pack $DIAGOFFRemoveOff2013 -AnswerFile "${DIR}\DIAG_Off_RemoveOff2013.xml" -unattended
Get-Job | Wait-Job -Timeout 1200
Get-Job | Receive-Job
Get-Job | Remove-Job -Force
Start-Job -ArgumentList -ScriptBlock {
$DIR = "C:\Deployment\Office2013Uninstall"

SimonCredit goes to MS for core script (its to long to post here).
Credit goes to the guy who wrote the cleaner script. Whoever packaged it and didn't build in silent switches gets zero points.
Please note that this will only work for C2R installs of Office 2013.

This is what worked for me. Use 7-zip to extract the entire package to a directory. Then run "OffScrub_015msi.vbs all".
