We are connected to a vendor hosted Project Server 13 environment.
Steps to reproduce:
We open any project from the server
Split the view to gantt and resource sheet
Update a task actual work
Navigate to another task
AppCrash occurs
Project Pro 2013 32bit install on 64bit win7, along side either office 2010 32bit or office 2013 64 bit.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Cheers, Joel

Do you have a chance to save the project file onto local machine, then test whether it would crash again after repeat the steps. If it's a server performance or networking issue, this should help to narrow down it.
On the Project client site, you may disable all of add-ins to avoid their interfered.

  • Advanced Calculation Options and Assignments Calculating Erratically - Project Professional 2013

    I have run into something strange in Project Professional 2013 when dealing with the Advanced Calculation Options and Assignment % Work Complete, and I believe that it is a bug.
    I will demonstrate in a simple example.
    Open a Brand New Project.
    Create a single Auto Scheduled Task with Two Resources. (I used Tom and Jerry.) Give it a couple weeks of duration (I gave mine 10 days)
    Go to the Options, Advanced Page, and Select the Move end of completed parts after status date back to status date option.
    Set a status date a few days after the task start date.
    Now, Go to the Task Usage View.  Add a % Work Complete Column, and an Actual Work Row.
    Save that so that you can load it from scratch.
    Now for the inconsistent Part:
    First, Try entering 25% for the Task's % Work Complete.
    Everything is correct, right? But let's say that Jerry actually had completed 30% of his task. Change Jerry's to 30%.
    This is correct also. But I was talking about assignment management, not task management.
    So, lets try it that way. Click on Undo a few times or just reload the file you saved to get back to the first state. If you undo, make sure that you don't undo your status date or Advanced Calculation Setting.
    This time, instead of entering a Task % Work complete, enter Assignment % Work Completes of 25% for Tom and 30% for Jerry.
    Notice that the moment you enter the 25% for Tom, it has moved Jerry's start date. Also, when you enter 30% for Jerry, it ignores max units from the resource sheet and calendar for Jerry.
    It should be using the calendar and backing the units for Jerry toward the start of the task. But it doesn't. What it does is move the start date for Jerry's Assignment to the day before the status date, and then, because it has zeroed the Work for the earlier
    days, ignores them (and the calendar and max units) when it starts to assign the work before the status date, and assigns the actual work based on the weighted work scheduled for those days, resulting in the above.
    The main problem with this is: It shouldn't be moving the starting date for the other assignment at all.  If it didn't, the outputs would be the same. I believe that what is actually happening is when a % Work Complete is changed for an assignment,
    the entire task is being re-evaluated, and all assignments are being evaluated also. Note that this happens even if you have the setting Calculate project after each edit set to Off. What should be happening is that only the assignment changed should be evaluated,
    and the task updated with that information.
    Has anyone else had trouble with this, or no? Does anyone have an explanation for this behavior, or is the explanation that the dev team didn't implement assignment calculation correctly for these advanced calculation types? Is this a valid bug, or am I
    missing something? If so, how does it get reported? We do have the work around, entering the task value first, but that seems a bit clunky. They should both be exactly the same, without moving the start date, or ignoring max units  and calendars for the
    resources.
    Any insight?

    I understand Project as follows:
    The move task advanced option is in fact for users that are only going to add a % complete to a task. This at least makes sure there is no incomplete work in the past and no completed work in the future. As you know % complete on its own is a low maturity,
    poor option for updating.
    If updating assignments (good on you) then don't use the move option and enter actual start, actual work and remaining work or enter actual hours in the timephased part of a usage view.

  • Can't open Project Professional 2013 projects in SharePoint 2013

    I can't open Project 2013 documents from SharePoint2013. 
    My environment is: 
    Project Professional 2013 32 bit
    Office Professional 2013 32 bit
    IE 9 32 bit
    Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit
    All other documents (Word, Excel) can be checked out and edited from SharePoint.
    When I check out and edit a Project document I get the following error:
         Project cannot open the file.
    check that the file name a path are correct.
    check that the file format is recognized by Project.
    Also, I get the same error when trying to open a project document from a mapped SharePoint drive.
    Note:  This was working on a fresh install of Office 2013 and Project Professional 2013 UNTIL a windows update (Office 2013 SP 1 and other updates)
    Am I missing an update? 
    Thanks!

    Hi Ken,
    I would try first to repair MS Project from the control panel to see if it fixes your issue.
    Hope this helps,

  • Publication of the big-sized Enterprise projects from Project Professional 2013 to Project Server 2013 takes about 60+ minutes.

    Dear Sirs,
    I need your support over the following MS EPM 2013 issue:
    Publication of the big-sized Enterprise projects from Project Professional 2013 to Project Server 2013 takes about 30+ minutes. We
    need to reduce this total publication time down to acceptable working values 10+- minutes.
    Environment information:
    Single App Server (Virtual): 16 Gb RAM, x64 4xCPU, HDD > 50 GB free disk space, OS Windows Server 2012 Standard Edition x64 Service
    Pack 1, MS SharePoint Server 2013 and MS Project Server 2013 with CU December 2013 (KB 2850024) applied.
    Single RDBMS MS SQL Server (Virtual): 8 Gb RAM, x64 4xCPU, HDD > 200 GB free space, OS Windows Server 2012 Standard Edition x64 Service
    Pack 1, MS SQL Server 2012 x64 SP 1 Enterprise Edition.
    We have 1Gbit LAN between APP, DB server and 1Gbit LAN between APP and Proj Prof Client.
    Yes, we are on the way of migrating to the Prod environment
    with 3-tiered architecture (with SP1 slipstream and CU December 2014 applied), but this issue also
    presents there.
    Project’s file information:
    Tasks in the file: [~4900], resources in the file [~396] enterprise task’s custom fields used in the file [~23].
    Project save procedure for this new project would last about 7 minutes. Project publication would last about 47 minutes. We noticed that
    tasks synchronization process took about 1 second for each ~2,5 tasks, to add them to the sharepoint tasks list. So for all 5148 tasks it took about 5148/3/60 =  34 minutes. Other 13 min was used for reporting database publication and other tasks relevant
    for new sharepoint site creation.
    Case 1: Issue description:
    During the Enterprise project’s file save and publication we have the following sharepoint 2013 log messages:
    07.31.2014 12:43:17.22 Microsoft.Office.Project.Server (0x0358) 0x3D5C SharePoint Foundation Monitoring b4ly High Leaving Monitored Scope
    (Persisting list changes). performing time =376.068676326181 22dca99c-4696-70f1-e9e2-06851d0bcffd
    07.31.2014 12:43:17.69 Microsoft.Office.Project.Server (0x0358) 0x3D5C SharePoint Foundation Monitoring b4ly High Leaving Monitored Scope
    (Persisting list changes). performing time =361.652807828928 22dca99c-4696-70f1-e9e2-06851d0bcffd
    It shows that sharepoint spend at least ~350 milliseconds (or 0,35 sec*4900 tasks = 1715 sec, or 28,5 min) for each task update during
    project publication. And we also have another log file that shows that about 0,7 sec (or 0,7 sec*4900 tasks = 3430 sec, or 57 min) sharepoint spend for save each task in project file to project server. So total save and publication time more then 60+ minutes
    for that project file. The same result we have even if user didn’t do any changes at the project file.
    We use only enterprise projects (dbo.MSP_EpmProject_UserView.projectvisibilitymode = «False»), and do not use sharepoint tasks lists,
    but the synchronization between MSP Plan and SharePoint tasks list works at any case.
    Case 2: Issue description:
    - For the second test we created a new project with new sharepoint project’s site on basis of our «issue» project, with total amount
    of tasks in it of 5148 (yes, we increased the tasks list default limit at the sharepoint site up to 6000 items in it – standard limits for sharepoint view list – 5000 items).
    - Project save procedure for this new project would last about 7 minutes. Project publication would last about 47 minutes. We noticed
    that tasks synchronization process took about 1 second for each ~2,5 tasks, to add them to the sharepoint tasks list. So for all 5148 tasks it took about 5148/3/60 =  34 minutes. Other 13 min was used for reporting database publication and other tasks
    relevant for new sharepoint site creation.
    -Then we deleted the
    tasks list for that new test project from the sharepoint site and republish the project plan one more time. This time project save procedure took about 7 minutes, project publication about 2 minutes and 3 minutes for other relevant queue jobs. So total time
    is 12 minutes.
    As a conclusion: yes, we have determined
    the exact problem - during synchronization process (from Project Server to SharePoint) it perform copying all tasks and related data from Project to SharePoint in spite of fact that you changed only ONE task or ALL of them. At any case, synchronization will
    copy ALL of them from Project Server to SharePOint task’s list.
    Our workaround is to disable the task’s synchronization for such big-sized project plans:
    – to delete the SharePoint «tasks» list at the SharePoint site tied with project plan.
    - or deattach the SharePoint site from the project plan.
    Thank you for reading this topic, please if you also forced with such issue provide us any known workaround or maybe any official response
    \ feedback from MS about it.
    Thank you in advance,
    Best Regards, Andrey

    Regarding my topic, I also said that every time when sync works it updates All items from project’s plan at Project Server to corresponded task’s list at SharePOint server. Inspire of the fact that you changed only One task or group /
    all of them at your project’s plan.
    And it seems to me and my colleagues that it’s probably (maybe) a “bug” at the product. Here is what we have if looked a little bit closer to the code:
    Share Point determines what task to sync from Project’s plan to sharepoint list. To do that sharepoint needs to know was that task changed or not, based on the following fileds (check SQL stored procedure “[MSP_READ_TASKS_FOR_SYNCRONIZATION]”):
    TASK_UID    TASK_NAME    TASK_START_DATE    TASK_FINISH_DATE    TASK_PCT_COMP    TASK_PARENT_UID    TASK_OUTLINE_NUM   
    WSS_LISTITEM_UID   TASK_ID    TASK_IS_ACTIVE
    We noticed that at any case synchronization performs for all tasks, EXCEPT the ROOT one. Then we looked at the comparison of TASK_PARENT_UID field. So sharepoint compares TASK_PARENT_UID with ParentID (this is internal name for lookup
    field “Tasks” at the Sharepoint, and it stores their values at the format "ID;#Title").
    And comparison performs like following:
    SharePoint looks for Task at the Tasks’s list corresponded to Project’s plan with ID represented at the TASK_PARENT_UID field. Then it takes SharePoint ListItem ID (“int” type) and store it to the “num” parameter;
    num = this.GetCachedListItemByUniqueId(listItem.ParentList, nullable.Value).ID;
       2.Then it compares “num” with task’s “ParentID” at SharePOint as follow with operator “!=”:
    ((SPItem) listItem)["ParentID"] != (System.ValueType) num
       3. If comparison was success (true) – then it tell us that values (at the Project’s plan for tasks) was changed, then it need to be synchronized. Corresponded Method setup “true” flag, and then returns it.
    The “bug” is that this expression at the Step 2 will always return “true”, because in fact it compares “string” (see above – that this is lookup field at SharePoint side)
    with “number”. For example if the parant task ID is “55”, then we get:
    "55;#Task 1" != 55
    And by the rules of .Net the “string” will never equal “number”
    Furthermore this is approved by the SharePoint logs:
    In that case we always get the note “Setting ParentID to” at the logs (we see it if turns on Verbose for “Project Server” -> “Sharepoint Integration” category).
    So at any case of publishing project’s plan we always get that note at the logs for tasks that have Parent task, and we have Parent for all of them EXCEPT the ROOT one, exact logs represented further:

  • Project Professional 2013 Installations Fails with Office 2010 installed on Windows 7 x86

    When attempting to install Project Professional 2013 Pro (x86) on Windows Professional x86 PC that has Office 2010 ProSp2 installed client getting an error message at the end of the installation "Project 2013 has encountered an error during setup".
    I have gotten the installer to work on x64 PC with Office 2010 installed. (Something worth noting that even thought I set the reboot to prompt its automatically reboots without warning but, appears to be working.)  I also tried using the OTC, custom XML
    file and just running setup.exe and get the error no matter what. When looking in the logs I there are MSI installer error with an error: Product:
    Microsoft Project Professional 2013 - Update '{A6FFA77F-C1C1-43D3-A2C7-6A5B68138D9F}' could not be installed. Error code 1603. Windows Installer can create logs to help troubleshoot issues with installing software packages. Use the following link for
    instructions on turning on logging support: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=23127
    Without having to uninstall Office 2010 what do I need to modify in the installer to get it to Project 2013 Pro to install on the x86 machine?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Your environment will support 32 bit of Project professional 2013 (x86) as you have Windows and Office of (X86).
    You try to modify registry then you wont face issue.
     The issue when you hit a "1653" is that Windows
    Installer "DisableRollback" is set. Office 2013 requires that "rollback" be enabled. If you are getting a "1653"
    error in your logs as Ken did then the solution is to delete the "DisableRollback" (or set to '0') at the following registry keys:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
     these are the issues I've seen:
    Scheduler service was stopped. At a cmd window typing "net start schedule" resolves the problem.
    CMD.exe was customized via the following registry key. Solution was to temporarily disable the customization by changing autorun value to autorun_old. 
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Command Processor
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Command Processor
    Permission issues - seems some custom permissions affected Ingram's install which he explained in his previous post.
    Environment variable "ComSpec" had been modified (semicolon added). Fix was to remove the added semicolon (there should be no semicolon).
    The way to identify you are hitting this specific issue is if in the %temp%\OfficeSetup.log there is a mention of "Office64MUI.msi" failing to install with return value of 1603
    If you want to enable verbose logging via the following key, rerun your failed install, and collect all the setup and MSI* logs that will give more information.
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer]
    "logging"= "voicewarmup"

  • Need Help ASAP with MS Project Professional 2013 - 60-day Trial Download

    I followed all steps to download the 60-day trial of MS Project Professional 2013, and it doesn't work.
    Once I get to the download manager and download what I think is the trial application, the file comes in as: ProjectProfessional_x86_en-us.img. I tried to launch the program once downloading was completed while Download Manager was open, and it
    asks for "choose program you want to use to open this file". The file is specified as disc image file (saved on my file - downloads). An icon didn't successfully download to my deskstop.
    Where can I download the actual 60-day Trial Application? I've tried link below and started steps from that point and wasn't successful as it just accepted file as .img and wouldn't save onto my computer.
    Has anyone encountered the downloaded trial file as an .img file?
    How can I prevent my computer from reading the file as a disc image file in my downloads?
    What is the correct extension file of the trial application?
    Will product key from original attempted trial download work when attempting 2nd download?
    When downloaded successfully, should the file be full data application not just .img file that originally was received on 1st and 2nd attempts at downloading trial?
    Thanks for your help!
    Loren

    Helga --
    Do not despair, my friend, for there is a way to install the trial software without burning a CD.  I use a tool called 7-Zip that can extract the files in an IMG or ISO file easily.  It extracts the files and folders into a folder of your choice. 
    You can download the 7-Zip software for free at:
    http://www.7-zip.org/
    And no, I do not work for this company.  I simply user their tool and like it because it allows me to install software without needing to burn a CD or DVD of the software.  And by the way, I downloaded the same trial IMG file that you did and
    7-zip was able to extract the files.  From that point, I could install the trial version of Project 2013, as needed.  Hope this helps.

  • Custom Ribbon Menu in MS Project Professional 2013

    Hi all,
    I want to create a custom ribbon menu in MS Project Professional 2013 but I am not sure how to save it as a template and apply it enterprise wide.
    Or is it something that needs to be packaged?
    Thanks!
    SJ

    Apologies for the delay. To get this working in VBA you need to construct a Ribbon XML format version of the menu as you want it. I've copied an example below, but there is a
    Microsoft page with information on how the schema works. Key lessons I've learnt are that:
    button id and group id values - doesn't seem to matter what they are, but they must be unique
    imageMSOs - for the gallery of images that you can choose from is published by Microsoft
    here. I found various pages that described how to add custom images to the ribbon in Excel, but I never managed to get them to work for me, so just stuck with the images in this file.
    Don't expect any meaningful error messages if you make mistakes in the XML - it just won't appear. I found putting the value of the string into an XML editor was useful for highlighting some errors.
    The ribbon menu is actually applied to projects rather than the application, so if you don't have any projects open, then the ribbon menu won't appear.
    Here's my example, which adds a "New Menu" tab to the ribbon, with a couple of buttons to launch macros. This can just be added to a new module in your global file.

  • Project professional 2013 can't connect to Project online

    It's federated account where the AD is synched with Project Online.
    When i use project professional 2013 it asks me to type in the username and password. If i use Office 365 account it works fine and if i use federated account it doesn't work and prompts me that account is wrong.
    If i use the same federated account from browser i am able to login with after redirecting me to local server to authenticate.
    any pointers?

    I would open a support case with Microsoft to try and resolve this.

  • Error occurs when I open the tasks list in MS Project Professional 2013 from SharePoint 2013

    Hi,
    I have created a SharePoint 2010 workflow for a tasks list that updates a list item column if the Date Complete <= Today's date & Percentage Complete = 100%
    I used 'Set Field in Current Item' in the workflow & the values are updated in the list for the current item.
    However, when I open the tasks list in MS Project Professional 2013 from SharePoint 2013, then I get a error "We can't write task - taskname to the SharePoint site. This is either because tasks list is in read only mode or because this task has a column
    that requires unique value."
    If I remove the 'Set Field in Current Item' in the workflow, then the error does not occur. However, the 'Set Field in Current Item' in the workflow is required.
    Please provide solution to this issue ASAP. Your reply will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Jack,
    A shot in the dark here.  I'm not convinced the error is from the workflow.  What is the definition of the list item column in SharePoint?  Have you set the column to requiring a unique vale?  Look at the column definition.

  • Unable to download Microsoft Project Professional 2013 trial

    I've been unable to download the trial version of the MS Project Professional iso file from the TechNet Evaluation Center.  I start the download process but it immediately flashes "error" and then reverts back to the previous download
    page.
    I've tried both Chrome and Explorer browers, and both 32-bit and 64-bit downloads.  I've also tried disabling antivirus and firewall. I've searched the web extensibly with no resolution.  I've tried to download on both home and work computers to
    various directories. I've also found numerous similar problems here on the TechNet forums, but absolutely no helpful response or resolution from Microsoft.
    Microsoft online support tells me to call phone support.  Phone support tells me they don't support trial versions.  Who in their right mind would pay $1200 without being able to first try the product, especially when the company won't
    even support their own software services?!
    Anyone have any insight on how to fix this download error?
    Thanks!

  • Difference between save and publish on project professional 2013

    Dear Barbara
    What's difference between save and/or publish tasks from project professional 2013 onto project server 2013 integrated with TFS?
    For me its the same, if you exclude the integration with TFS in this scenario, that demands publishing, the tasks will be saved in project server anyway.
    Its that right? Thank you.
    Adauto

    hi Adauto,
    As a project owner when you create project plan from PWA or from Project Professional Once you save it means it will go to draft database and will be available to you in the server but you can not see it onto Project center.
    Once you Click on Publish then  project get publish and sits in publish database at the same time it will sync reporting database too. Once project get Publish then only all the team member who are associated with project will be able to see the project
    in project center including you .
    Also Users who are having either same RBS assigned to them or heigher to you will be able to see the project onto the project center.
    Also All the resource will get notified and task assignment will be assigned to team members.
    This is a same case for Project server with TFS integration and normal project server without TFS integration
    Main Usability of Save is :
    As a Project owner when you start Project scheduling you take time to finish it so everyday you can save it so that next day you can resume your work but in the middle of the scheduling work you wont want to show the data to your organization until- unless
    you give it final touch .Once you complete it then only publish it so that it would be available to team members.

  • Project Professional 2013: Reports / texbox BUG

    I am using the reporting functions for a Project Status Report and found a quite annoying issue. As I need textboxes for general statements in my reports I discoverd that the navigation and correction keys (arrow-keys, backspace key, delete key, etc) are
    always doing the corresponding action for 2 characters instead of only one. EG.: After writing "WORD" and positioning the focus (prompt) behinde the "D" and pressing backspace the "RD" is getting deleted.
    I am using MS Projects Professional 2013 15.0.4551.1007. I could reproduce the issue on various installations.
    Is there anybody who can confirm this behaviour or maybe has some informations about a bugfix?
    Thank you and kind regards
    P. Slond

    Sadly, I can reproduce the error on both Project 2013 Click to Run and Project 2013 MSI with SP-1 installed.  I will make sure that this post is brought to the attention of the folks from Microsoft.  Sorry - I can't make any guesses about if/when
    this may be fixed.

    I can't open the downloaded evaluation copy of Project Professional 2013.  Asks me what program I want to use to open the file.

    I think you have downloaded .img file. If you want to install that program follow the given instruction.
    download open source magic disc viewer software.
    http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-magicdisc-overview.htm
    After installation, right click on notification icon of magic disc, click Virtual CD/DVD ROM ->  No Media -> Mount,
    Select disc image file of project professional 2013.img.
    Open My Computer -> select mount drive and install that program.
