Office 2007 installer run everytime i open excel only

Ok, I need some help on this one. I have office 2007 pro installed on a
terminal server for a couple of years now with no problems. The other day one
of the users called and says that the installer program open every time they
open excel. I logged in and sure enough it runs. When I open word, pp or
outlook, the installer does not run. When I look at the event log I get two
event errors, an event id 1001 and 1004. Below is the one I think that might be
causing the problem.
This is the event id 1001. Detection of product
'{90120000-0012-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}', feature 'EXCELFiles' failed during
request for component '{0638C49D-BB8B-4CD1-B191-052E8F325736}'
This is the event id 1004. Detection of product
'{90120000-0012-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}', feature 'EXCELFiles', component
'{8BE509B9-BD83-4EEF-99C1-8F6EF615B8FB}' failed. The resource 'C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\XLSTART\' does not exist.
I tried to run the repair utility under add/remove programs and I still get
this error. After the install runs, excel opens fine and keeps opening until I
log out of the server then log back in after a period of time. I have not
uninstalled and reinstalled office yet. But what I’ve read so far on some of
the other forums is reinstalling is not the answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

SO FAR, SO GOOD. I THINK I HAVE IT SOLVED
ok,
I think that i have finally solved this issue after talking with another tech friend of mine. When I look at the event look it says this everytime I open excel
'C:\ProgramFiles\Microsoft Office\Office12\XLSTART\' does not exist. When I drill down in the "C" drive, sure enought there is no XLSTART file or folder. After I let the install configuration run, it adds this
a folder called XLSTART and after I close excel and log out the folder dissappears. So, I let the install configuration run again and rename the XLSTART folder to XLSTART_OLD. I log out and then log back in. When I open excel the install
configuration runs again, but after I log out and then back it, the install configuration does not run anymore. I think that the XLSTART folder was corrupt and it just needed to install a new one. So far my theory has proved correct, because I
have logged in and out of the Terminal Server and opened excel a dozen or so times yesterday and it open with no problems. I just tried to open excel again about two minutes ago, and it is still working fine. I hope that anyone who is having
a similar issue can use this information
Thanks.

Microsoft Office 2007 - Installation

Hello All
I would like to know what are the exact component that needs to be tested, when I install MS Office 2007. Would there any impact on BI side, I mean BEX, WAD etc.. All these tools would work as normal ?, or is there any additional patches that needs to be downloaded ?
Thanks and I appreciate your quick response as always.
BI

Since Excel is the starting point for BEx Analyzer, Excel 2007 would need to be tested. In BEx Web, if you have Excel as a save as option for queries, you will need to test that too. It also requires that the .NET Framework 3.0 be on the end user machine.

About ms office 2007 installation

while installing ms office 2007 service pack 3 on windows 7 32 bit it is showing no product is affected by this package installed on this system.
give me a solution to install it.

Excel 2000 is not supported anymore. I don't think it is an error message coming from BPC7.5
I suppose you didn't install BPC 7.5 client or the client which you try to install is not the right one.
Did you try to install the client from Web page (Clien Software Center link?)
Your configuration XP with Office 2007 (if Excel was installed also) it is fine like prerequisite for SAP BPC client 7.5.
So please check if you are trying to install the right kit.
(For me it seems you are trying to install a client 4.x or 5.x).

Office 2007 Installation Issue

I was working with a faculty member this morning who had
Office 2007 installed under Windows XP. When we ran the installer
it gave an error message that we had to install Powerpoint first.
Is there any workaround for this?

Switching to MAC from Windows: How to open files in Office 2007 VMFusion?

Dear all,
Intro:
I switched to MAC and now cannot find the solution to a simple problem.
First: I need an Office 2007 PowerPoint FULLY compatible solution.
What did not work: IWork, NeoOffice, Office 2008 (this is not fully compatible with Office 2007 Files)
I also had problems with: Parallels (not stable, too many hangups), codeweaver crossover (office files do not even open sometimes, good idea but not suitable for serious office jobs)
Now I have VMWare Fusion with WinXP and Office 2007 as this seems to be the only truly stable and best solution to run Office 2007 on Mac
Question:
How to open files in Office 2007 on MAC VMWare Fusion easily?
It would be nice to spotlight the file and click and it opens in powerpoint or excel or word 2007 in Virtual Machine.
The only known solution to me is to use the Windows explorer to navigate to the file and then open it from Fusion WinXP. This is very cumbersome and honestly makes me think of getting back to a windows machine as I work with office frequently.
Thank you for your help.

Thank you for the quick reply.
Yes, I have Office 2007 installed. The problem is that to open files in Fusion virtual machine I have to use the windows explorer and navigate to the file to open it. Now that I have the mac I want to use the good feature of spotlight. So when I search and find the file I want to open I cannot click on it on the mac (or in finder) but I have to switch back to the virtual machine, locate the file again and open it from windows.
You might think - ok, why not skip the first step of using spotlight, and look up the file in windows explorer before anything else?
Correct, but I know from parallels that there is a file association possible to directly access the file in office 2007.
This does not seem possible in Fusion - So the question is whether there is a possibility on the mac to associate the file and to click on it in finder/spotlight and the office 2007 application in fusion opens the file. So far I could not find anything.
Thanks

BDC problem in Open Excel

Hi,
We are facing the problem to run the BDC.
Actually problem is that we are using the UBUNTU instead of Window XP / Server and Open Office instead of Microsoft Office..
File extension of Open Excel is .ODS & Microsoft Excel extension is .XLS. Also our BDC is supporting the .XLS extension files.
Is there any way to use the .ODS extension file in my BDC. Is it possible that if i change the code somewhere and use .ODS file, my BDC should run..
How to upload my .ODS file in BDC?? or any other way to make my BDC successful??
Thanks...

Hi,
There are few things that I need you to check:
1.Make sure your file is not open while executing the eport
2.Declare internal table with all fields as Char type haning the length same as defined in the backend.
3.You can either upload the XLs file using the direct FM TEXT_convert_xls_to_sap
or save the xls file as the tabdeliminator file and use the Fm GUI_UPLOAD.
4.FM GUI_DOWNLOAD is used to download any fiel data to the presentaion server.
Hope now your problem will be solved.

Sharepoint 2007, Office 2007, and 64-bit Internet Explorer support

Hi All,
I have an issue editing documents on our SharePoint 2007 intranet. When using 64-bit IE, and when I choose "Edit in Microsoft Office Word" I get the following error:   ‘Edit Document’ requires a Windows SharePoint Services-compatible application and Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater.    This does not happen with 32-bit IE.
I am working on deploying Windows 7 and I am seeing this on a clean installation of Windows 7 Enterprise x64. The only software I am installing is Office Enterprise 2007. The Office 2007 installation includes the Office Tools > Windows SharePoint Services Support.   Installing SP1 and SP2 for Office does not fix the problem.   I can duplicate this on multiple computers.
I know 64-bit IE is a level 2 supported browser according to this article (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263526.aspx ), but shouldn't editing documents be allowed for it?   Perhaps I am misinterpreting the article somehow?   If this is the case, could someone point out where I am going wrong?
Thanks,
Andrew

Thanks but copying the dll over and restarting IE also did not work. I also restarted the computer to be sure. I tried these additional things:
I tried re-registering the dll but I got this error: The module "owssupp.dll" was loaded but the call DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80070716.
I also removed the dll and ran the Microsoft Office Diagnostics utility. It found and corrected one problem (it added the dll back), but this did not fix my problem.
To elaborate more, I noticed that I CAN check out a document and then use the "Edit in Microsoft Word" link to open the document. However, when I try to save the document, SharePoint thinks the document is read-only. So there is still some compatibility issues going on there.
So I did some more digging and although I couldn't find it documented, the feature that allows this to work is an ActiveX control. I compared the browser add-ons in the 32bit version of IE to the 64 bit version and what would you know, the add-ons (SharePointOpenDocuments and SharePoint Stssync Handler - both controlled by owssupp.dll) were not part of the browser... and there didn't appear a way to install them.
According to the document I linked in my original post, ActiveX controls are not supported in level 2 browsers such as 64 bit Internet Explorer... it could be this is one of the ActiveX controls that is not supported. For now that is my answer unless anyone else has more ideas.

Office 2010 installation - Error 1618

We are currently trying to upgrade our Office 2007 installs to 2010 using SCCM.
I made a package out of Office 2010 with SP1 integrated, and am deploying it with the command line
setup /adminfile c:\x\upgrade.msp /config c:\x\upgrade.xml
SCCM is configured to download packages to the local hard disk before executing them.
Now, on all test machines, and about 70% of production machines, this works as expected. The setup runs, returns with a 3010 "Reboot Required" value and the PC reboots. After that, Office is upgraded and works.
On 30% of production machines however a variation of the following error happens:
Executing chained package: OfficeMUISet.en-us
Not showing message because suppress modal has been set. Title: 'Setup', Message: 'Another install is currently in progress. Press 'Retry' when the install is finished or 'Cancel' to cancel setup.'
The setup then cancels, tries to rollback itself, but fails doing that with the same "The uninstallation appears to have failed because another MSI operation was taking place." errors, then fails completely and exits with an error code 1618
The full log is here.
Part 1: http://pastebin.com/AtwYSHA8
Part 2: http://pastebin.com/EES9Hsfp
After that, there are Office 2010 shortcuts in the start menu, but no application can be started due to missing DLL errors. Office 2010 then has to be uninstalled with the MS Fixit 50450 tool and reinstalled.
There is no common quality among the PCs that fail this. Some are XP, others are Vista. Some are English language, others are German, French or Italian.
After this happened the first time, I changed the installation so that the PCs would always do a reboot before the installation, but this didn't help anything. To me it seems that the Office setup itself tries to chain two msiexecs at the same time - or
tries to start one before the last one finishes properly. Is there a way to prevent this?

Hey there,
I've having the same problem on my deployment environment. We are deploying Windows 7 Enterprise using SCCM and the UDI task sequence by MDT. In UDI, I have Office 2010 with SP2 integrated to install. I've done a blast test of 10 machines
being imaged all at once and so far 8 of the 10 are successful installing office 2010 with sp2.
The other two machines, i went looking through the SCCM logs. CAS.log shows that the office 2010 package was downloaded completely. I then looked in the setup.log in C:\Windows\temp where the office install logs are found and noticed this.
Executing chained package: OutlookMUI.en-us
Not showing message because suppress modal has been set. Title: 'Setup', Message: 'Another install is currently in progress. Press 'Retry' when the install is finished or 'Cancel' to cancel setup.'
Message returned: 2
Error: User canceled install due to MSI service being busy. Type: 90::UserCancel.
Log level changed from: Standard to: Verbose
Rolling back chain
Rolling back package: OutlookMUI.en-us
There appears to be no rollback work to do for package: OutlookMUI.en-us path:
C:\WINDOWS\ccmcache\f\Outlook.en-us\OutlookMUI.MSI
It looks like msiexec.exe is being used up by another program. Initially I was getting this a lot and then I moved my McAfee agent and Altiris agent install outside of the install application step. That seemed to give me 80% success rate on deploying
office.
Now the awkward thing is that all my other applications installs just fine. This office installs first and is then followed by MS Project and MS Visio. Office fails with the error above but afterwards, SCCM executes MS Project with sp2 and MS
Visio with sp2 and they install just fine. This makes me believe that office 2010 is
A.) Stumbling upon each of its own .msi files
B.) another background app is still being installed when it gets to office.
I find it hard to believe the latter because I've troubleshot all my other apps and they install just fine. I even had task manager going in the background to detect new services installing and still no go. Now i noticed that I have "Suppress
Modal" turned on. I am wondering if I can enable that and then see if Office will give me that prompt to "Retry" and not instantly fail the install.

Do you know if it's possible to generate Word 2003 files from RoboHelp if we're using Office 2007 and RoboHelp 2007?

Do you know if it's possible to generate Word 2003 files from
RoboHelp if we're using Office 2007 and RoboHelp 2007? We are
thinking of upgrading, but have customers that would still require
Word 2003 formats because they won't have 2007 installed.
Thanks!

Hi NewtoRobohelp
Unfortunately I don't have Office 2007 in front of me to test
with. But I'm thinking that as long as Office 2007 still produces
the same formats as 2003, you could do it this way.
From RoboHelp 7 and using Office 2007, generate Printed
ouptut. Open said printed output in Office 2007 and perform a Save
As. Save the document as a RTF (Rich Text Format) document.
RTF is more universal. So I'm thinking this may be a possible
way around it. There is also the possibility that Word 2007 offers
up an ability when saving a file to save in an older format.
Cheers... Rick

Does Oracle 11g index Office 2007 documents?

I recently upgraded to 11g, because 10g didn't seem to index Office 2007 documents (e.g. Word, Excel, and PowerPoint) or PDFs v1.5 or higher. I need to be able to search on text in those documents. Everything works fine for PDFs and files generated using earlier versions of Microsoft products, but not for Office 2007 documents. The Oracle documentation for 11g says that it supports Office 2007, but I haven't had any luck. Any thoughts?

All download versions of Oracle software are the full versions. The 11.1.0.7 patchset will work with your downloaded 11.1.0.6, but you will need an Oracle Support account before you can download the patchset.
I believe you can download 11.1.0.7 directly for certain platforms - like Windows Server 2008 64 bit. If you don't have access to Oracle Support this might be an option for testing - you can get a 60 day evaluation copy of Windows Server 2008 [from Microsoft|http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=13c7300e-935c-415a-a79c-538e933d5424].

Can anyone help me find Office 2007 product key for preinstalled trial?

Hello - can someone advise, please? My laptop came with a preinstalled trial of Office 2007, which needs to be activated with a 25-digit code. The onscreen message says to follow the hotlnk to a Microsoft site, where advice on obtaining the code can be found. However, when I reach the Microsoft site a message tells me that the page does not exist. I've also tried using a code on a sticker on the base of the laptop but that doesn't seem to be the right one.
I've run out of ideas and the number of times I can use Office 2007 is running down - any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks.

I think the simple answer is that MS no longer offer 2007 trials and instead offer 2010 trials at [http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/try/try-office-2010-FX101868838.aspx?WT.mc_id=MiG_Products]

Office 2007 Configuration wizard runs every time I start any Application (word, excel, etc)

Hi!
I've installed Office 2007 Enterprise on my Vista x64 system, but when I'm
starting any of the Office apps, Office runs a setup/configuration prog
(Office is collecting/gathering setup information or something like that).
My event log has produced
numerous warnings, on of the more significant is :
Detection of product '{90120000-0030-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}', feature
'ProductFiles', component '{6252B847-BADA-43D4-9252-E39767FA40A1}'
failed. The resource 'HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pip\' does not exist.
I tried to access the HCR\.pip\ key in Regedit and receive the
following message:
"Error Opening Key
..pip can not be opened.
An error is preventing this key from being opened.
Details: Access is denied."
I have tried the Windows Installer Clean up utility to remove all
traces of Office, cleaned the registry, reinstalled Office 2007
4 times and still have the install/configuring messages popping up
upon loading the Office programs..
ANY information would be appreciated !!!
Thanx a lot @lby

MAZENS's WAY SOLVED IT
Thanks Mazen, nice move, it has worked out,
[The rest is for 'still-learners' like me, please follow the following :)]
Start Menu->Control Panel->AdministrativeTools->EventViewer (Hurray, we have the so called found event viewer)
Then hit 'Application', which brings
Type , Date, time, source bla bla window in which the events are listed.
I started reading them one by one. Once you hit a line (information), 'event properties ' window opens. You can see that there are arrow buttons to scroll down and up among the events. And there is the 'description' part in the same window. While scrolling thru all messages (information lines), I came across the follwing messages in the 'description' section:
The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( ServiceLayer ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: Service started.
Another event's description was:
The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( gupdate1c99657ceb0c142 ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: Service stopped.
As you may have recognized message mentions about 'Event ID ( 0 )'.
So I followed Mazen's directions and replicated ID_00030.DPC and renamed the replica as ID_00000.DPC
Now it is working without any configuration pop up. By the way, before creating ID_00000.DPC, I had already tried ID_00011.DPC and ID_00051.DPC. Now I have four .dpc files (0,30,11,51) in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12
As Office2007 application is starting fast now, I don't bother about them (i guess/hope it is ok).
Best wishes,
