Odd error with MS Office Install and transforms

Hello,
I'm seeing this on our new Dell PCs that we are delivering to our staff. We create the image, test it, and it works fine. We then deliver the PCs to the user, user logs in, Windows creates profile, etc, but MS Office (2002) won't run - for that user. If I use the account we use for imaging, this we Word, Excel, PowerPoint work normally. For newly profile users, we see the error message:
"Microsoft Word [or Excel or Powerpoint] has not been installed for the current user. Please run setup to install the application."
This makes no sense to me. If we install again, it works for that user, but not other users.
I did find an MS KB article that says we have to uninstall/reinstall MS Office - any other thing that it could be? Installing/reinstalling seems to be just a patch.
I recreated the transforms file to specifically state ALLUSERS=2, so it will force all users who log into the PC to be allowed to use the apps, but it's not working. My app points to the transform file, Office installs, but 1) I still get the above error and 2) Outlook installs, even though I instruct the transform to not install it.
Suggestions?
Thanks

Okay, thanks. What's really annoying is that I've never had an issue with this until we got our new Dell models in - so it could be that our my image is somehow damaged. Time to recreate...

I disagree. It states:
"If ALLUSERS=2, the installer always resets the ALLUSERS
property to null or 1 based on whether it determines to do a
per-user or a per-machine installation."
The only reason to use ALLUSERS=2 would be if you explicit
wanted the Installer to always evaluate which kind of install it
should do.
Assuring a per-machine install, which I understand is your aim,
specify ALLUSERS=1.

Airport Utility `install failed' error with both 6.0 and 6.1

Hi folks
I am running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53) and cannot get the Airport Utility to run at all. [5.5.3] The application icon flickers as though it is about to launch and then nothing happens.
I have tried other 5.x downloads and they all fail because I am running OS X Lion 10.7.4.
Doing a standard Software Update or using a download of 6.x from the Apple Support site, the installer comes up with an `install failed' error with both 6.0 and 6.1, having gotten through the complete process and looking like they were `successful'.
It's the only time in two years and many updates later that i have come across this issue, so I am unsure how to start to tackle it.
Any ideas or suggestions please?
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to Apple Communities
Backup your files and try this:
1. Reboot from recovery partition (or as in my case USB recovery drive)
2. Select Re-install Mac OS X
3. Allow the process to run through multiple restarts
4. When reinstall process is complete run software update (side note, my software update would not launch as long as my USB recovery stick was plugged in, weird)
5. Run all updates saving the Airport Utility 6.0 until last.
6. Install the airport utility from software update.

I have an HP-Pavilion Vista PC with MS Office 2007 and Service Pack 2. Each time I try to save a Wo

I have an HP-Pavilion Vista PC with MS Office 2007 and Service Pack 2. Each time I try to save a Word or Excel document I get the “Not Responding” message. The “Word is saving……” bar at the bottom does not show any progress. On clicking the document I get a faded version even when in Safe Mode. Somehow the document appears on the Desktop where I tried to save it. On trying to open the saved document, even as administrator, I get the following ”File in Use” message:
“The ….docx is locked for editing by….” and I am asked three questions including:
“Do you want to open a Read Only copy” yet on clicking “Yes” I am able to edit the same document.
On trying to save to a different location I get the message:
“Your autocorrect file MSO 1033.ad could not be saved. The file may be read only or you may not have permission to modify this file.”
The same message stating FILE12\1033\MSO.ACL MSO 1033ad recurs with new Excel documents.
How can I correct this problem?

Worse still, the HP Advisor icon that appears on startup does not load successfully while showing the message: “Access to the path Hewlett-Packard\HD Advisor is denied”.

Lightroom conflicting with Microsoft Office Home and Business 2010

This is a third posting on what is the same topic/experience.
See postings under ROBBIECRAFT:

Hal and Beat were very helpful at that time.
Quick background and current situtation (after some 5 plus weeks)
- Shortly after ver 3.6 was released, Lightroom 3.6 began crashing while in the DEVELOP module after 30 minutes plus or minus.
By ``Crashing``, I mean the computer shuts down, no blue screen, and reboots to screen recommending START WINDOWS NORMALLY
- Computer is 6 months old, Computer shop replaced, in sequence with my testing,
          Video Card
          Memory
          CPU
- crashing continued, so they installed a temporay new C drive to see what would happen.
- With LR only running, all was fine so Win 7 (home premium) was re-installed on my C drive and I stared re-installing the software.
With each installation LR was tested twice for 60-90 minutes, before proceeding to next software install
RESTORE POINT created after FIREFOX ``ìnstalled``
- Lightroom 3.0 installed
     tests run
- Lightroom 3.6 installed
     tests run
RESTORE POINT created
- Photoshop CS5 installed
     tests run
RESTORE POINT created
- MS Office installed, some issues with setting up OUTLOOK
- drive permissions fixed
     tests run and LR crashed
-Uninstalled Office
- crashes continued (much quicker)
- worked back through RESTORE POINTS and eventually ended up at inital RESTORE POINT
Then worked back through the installs again (and restore points)
- No crashes until I installed MS Office.
- I have backed up to the RESTORE POINT before Office install and still crashing.
At this point I am ready to set up Lightoom in a Virtual machine within the computer and run everything else normally. (not sure I said that correctly, but that was what I thought my technical assistant said)
But before doing that, has anyone else had this problem and solved it ???
Thank you

Error with OCI8 driver installing sendmail/javamail

Hi to All,
From Dos window I run the command:
loadjava -user sys/pwd@name_db -resolve -synonym activation.jar
This is the first step in order to install a Sendmail package based on javamail, but I have this error:
=============================
Java.exe error
Impossible to find the enterpoint kpufhndl0 of procedure in the library of dynamic link OCI.dll (Sorry, this is a translation of italian language)

=============================
After I click on OK and this is the next response:

After, I have used the command:

This is the result:

But the connection descriptor that I use is eg COSFI, not orcl.
Other applications works fine with my descriptor.
Someone can help me in order to resolve this problem ?

Gaetano,
I see you took my advice when I replied to your Error with OCI8 driver installing sendmail/javamail.
However, it doesn't look like you studied the Oracle documentation for loadjava because the command you posted doesn't look right at all.
Please refer to the Java Developer's Guide for the correct syntax and usage of the loadjava command.
Good Luck,
Avi.

Intuit's Quicken won't work with Lion. Installed and am using Quicken Essentials but it's not as convenient.

Intuit's Quicken won't work with Lion. Installed and am using Quicken Essentials but it's not as convenient.

this has been an issue with Quicken for a long time! Quicken was initially a Mac only application and then they got greedy! i beta-tested Quicken for Intuit for years and when they announced they were not going to support it any more the screaming was loud but not heard!
Quicken Essentials is a crime! i wasn't even asked to beta-test it; probably because they would have gotten an earful!!! it is not essential; it is stupid.... AND, of course, their online version was a disaster. i use Quickbooks Online for business and it works like a charm; i mean it even downloads ignominious PayPal transactions now!
i am also stupid for not really checking out if it would work with Lion - ALL of my financials are on it. I am going to have to do what @cwiens suggested above and either pull out an old Macbook I have or my well stored original Cube in its original box! thank the fates for the double backup i've always done with Quicken - Time Machine & its own key drive!
btw, this is an old Microsoft trick - not having older versions of apps work on OS updates so they force you to buy the new versions.

HT4623 Anyone having trouble with App Store install and cloud store buttons not working after 6.1 update?

Anyone having trouble with App Store install and cloud store buttons not working after 6.1 update? I go to install an app. I hit install and nothing happens. About a minute later it asks me for my password and then it does nothing. The install button goes back to saying install. However the app shows up in my installed list and in cloud but no app installed.

OK - I found a helpful post - closed app store app and under Settings/General/Date and Time I reset the date and time by switching off "Set Automatically" and then switching it on again. Went back to App Store, launched it and Updatesseems to be working again.
Go figure? Logical, No!

Error with Title i.d. and password in app builder

Hi;
Ive just subcribed to Pro edition DPS and am starting to build my viewer app, however im getting an error with Title i.d. and password in app builder
It says niether the title id or password are valid, however they are the same as i've used to both log into app builder and to upload my folios to the folio producer.
What am i missing here?

Yes, the account administration stuff is confusing when you jump from a "creative" account to a Pro account. As the Getting Started guide states, when you set up your Pro account, you should use dedicated Adobe IDs, such as [email protected] and [email protected], not [email protected] The Copy Folio command makes it easy to transfer folios from one account to another, especially if you do it on the same machine you used to create the folios. Everything moves over nicely.
Again, don't use your "master" account for creating and publishing folios. Use it only for account administration.

How can I download itunes when I get the following errors ..ituneshelper did not install correctly error 7..I .have installed and uninstalled a dozen times with various fixes...b noir for example and used Revo to clean up.
This has been a problem for 6 weeks now, I retry when I have time and patience and use my other laptop which is also Windows 7 and runs with no problem.
Every attempt fails when all seems fine on the desktop and I try to log on to Itunes I get the errors.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features(Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (If this won't uninstall press on)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

Help! DistMon error with Acrobat 9 Pro and XP using Office 2007

One of our users is getting this error message when Excel opens. "The message reads, “compile error in hidden module: DistMon.”
The computer's OS is XP and they use Office 2007. I could only finds posts on this topic for Office 2003 and Acrobat 8. The problem hasn't occurred on other computer's (so far) using XP that have just upgraded to Office 2007. Any advice?

The only seem that seems to work is deleting the Normal.dot but that is only temporary. On the machine is rebooted you have to delete it again.

Initial Print jobs 'communication error with device'. Pause and restart job

So, I have an odd variant of the Leopard print problem; on 3 separate systems.
When I print to an HP Photosmart C7180, which setup fine, which I can scan to fine, the print job throws an error :error communicating with device, switch on and off' and so forth. It does that from any app, and consistently. I am printing via bonjour, the printer is networked, but on a static IP.
To fix this EVERY-TIME I PAUSE printer, then start printer again. It immediately starts working, consistently until I sleep, log out, or don't print for a while.
This seems to be some timeout issue or such. I tried IP printing, but no difference.
Resetting the print system also did not help.
It's not catastrophic but sooo annoying. Any input appreciated!
Thx,
Dan

Hello SunnygirlQ. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations. In addition, the AirPort's USB port does not support the "advanced" printer functions, like scanning, copying or faxing, of multi-function printers.
To see if your printer is compatible, take a look at this iFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility link.
If your printer isn't listed, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try.
Also you can try this Apple Tech Support article to see if it will help:
o Printer troubleshooting for AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express
I assume that this printer works just fine when it is connected directly to your Mac ... correct? If so, has it worked when connected to the AX in the past ... or has it always had this problem? If it did work correctly before, did you do any updates, especially to the AX, recently?

Problems with Microsoft Office 2008 and 2011

Hiya,
I am running Mountain Lion on my Macbook Pro and I'm having ongoing problems with the Office system. I'm doing a PhD so I use footnotes all the time and in Word 2011, the autosave function makes the footnotes disappear from the bottom of the page, but I'm not comfortbale working wihtout autosave running. I deleted Office 2011 and put Office 2008 back on my machine. However, since I re-installed Office 2008, the whole OSX seems to have slowed down.
Could Office 2008 cause my whole system to get sluggish? Is there anything that I can do about it?
I am also wondering if there is there another solution to my original Office 2011 problem with footnotes that doesn;t involve disabling autosave? Has anyone else has similar problems with footnotes? I just wiped my whole system and re-installed all the programmes, so I am surprised to still be having these same problems with Office!
Thank you for any help and advice!

You should try asking your Office for Mac question in the Office for Mac forums where the Office for Mac gurus hang out.http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac?auth=1

Marc, thanks fort your reply. The only reason I tried the older JCreator, and not the newer version, is because of system requirements. I do not have the required memory. So, after your response I said what the heck. I downloaded and tried to install the newer version. It started to install and hung at 29% processed on the progress bar. That's all she wrote. The prior JCreator at least installed it's developer IDE before it tried to install the AS. I guess the order of the install for the newer JCreator's is different. If you have read this thread you will see that I have tried for last year or so off and on to install the Application Server with no success. I have in the pass taken down MS's firewall but did not get any further. I forgot to do it this time. Maybe I should try one more time. I mean I do have GlassFish running . If JCreator supported that server I would not be worried about the AS.
I have no technical angle to define my problem. It just hangs. The old Watcom suite had at least debuggers so I could see where the hang is. The module..etc. Here I feel like a stupid user with a 'user friendly' install that does not work on my machine. frrustrating when I have three other servers installed and running on my machine. I specified my machine config in a prior response.

Odd Error with decode function in Order By Clause

I am trying to compile a procedure and can't get around an error with a dynamic order by that doesn't make much sense to me. I can repoduce the error with a plain select statment in sql plus so I can rule out a declaration error. Here is an example with 2 numeric columns and a date column.
select task_id, display_date, remark_id from task_list
where task_id > 1000
order by decode('Task_ID', 'Task_ID',Task_ID, 'Display_Date', Display_Date, 'Remark_ID',Remark_ID)
returns the error:
select task_id, display_date, remark_id from task_list
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected NUMBER got DATE
I'm not sure why this error is occuring, because it doesn't even hit the Display_Date field in the Decode statment. If I take the Display_date out of the statement, it runs properly. If I change Display_Date to To_Char(Display_Date) it also runs fine, but the sorting is incorrect. Also I'm running 9.2, and do not want to use dynamic sql to build my query. Any Ideas out there as to the cause of this error?

I did find a workaround to this issue by breaking the decode statment into three separate statement, but I still think that the way it is written above should work, and may be a bug, or an error that I don't understand fully.
The Order by was rewritten like this:
order by decode(pSort, 'Task_ID',Task_ID), decode(pSort, 'Display_Date', Display_Date),
decode(pSort, 'Remark_ID',Remark_ID);
Thanks
