Office 2013 - Evaluation of VL bits?

Hi there,
I have a customer asking if there is a way to install a trial version of Office 2013 [Volume License edition] for testing to see if it is a suitable solution for their environment. I've done some digging and haven't found a way to do this, so I was hoping
someone can either confirm that there isn't a MSFT supported way to download a VL eval, or if there is a workaround that would let them test that in their scenario.
Thanks!

Hi,
We don't provide such a trial version for Volume License edition currently. However, you can still learn some useful information from the links below:

Office 2013 Professional Plus - 32 bit Deployment takes an unacceptable time to deploy in SCCM 2012 - SP1 CU3

We recently migrated over to SCCM 2012 SP1 - CU3 the first of the year from SCCM 2007 SP2. We have used SCCM in the past to deploy Office 2010 and had deployed Office 2013 to our IT Dept. before moving over to SCCM 2012. The deployment went as
expected. Now that we are ready to start deploying Office 2013 to our corporate workstations, the deployment time is running 4.5 hours to 5.5 hours from the local site server DP. I am afraid to find out what time we are looking at for remote DP's.
The three factors that are different is that our SCCM site server is virtual, it is running 2012 for the OS, and obviously SCCM 2012-SP1 - CU3. We are using the same package source files. Previous to a successful deployment we were
seeing hash mismatch errors which MS support pointed us to the nic driver on the VM was using E1000E and to change it to a VMX something driver.
So I guess my question is anyone else out there deploying Office 2013 ProPlus - 32 bit from this type of environment? Our previous deployment time for office was a little over an hour (not five hours). Any suggestions where to look to improve
the deployment time?
I am expected to deploy this in one week and have been working on these issues for weeks.

I see now that you are using a combination of scripts and ConfigMgr package/program.
The AppEnforce.log file is for use with the new ConfigMgr Application model.
Is there any reason that you don't use the new model for deploying Office 2013? It's a single step process and perfect for it. If you use the Office Customisation Tool you can customise what you like. The process will then uninstall Office 2010 and install
Office 2013.
This is how you do it

Excel COM object calls break with Office 2013 upgrade on 64-bit OS?

Out of the 1000+ computers in the company mine is the only one running 64-bit windows 7. I have noticed that when i try to run a small DLL i created to convert Excel files to Tab Delimited files it is crashing only on my computer.
I have debugged the source code and found that there is no real exception being thrown except a popup does appear in the background stating "We're sorry, but Excel has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly. Excel will need to
be closed as a result. Would you like us to repair now? [Repair Now][Help][Close]"
If i open excel via the main application this same popup comes up and when i click repair excel closes. when re-opened Excel re-activates and then works fine.
here is a sample of my (VERY simple) code which has worked for years on office 2007 with 64-bit OS:
Dim excelPath As String = "C:\test.xlsx"
Try
objXL = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
With objXL.Application
.displayalerts = False
.Visible = False
.workbooks.Open(excelPath)
.Workbooks(ExcelFileName).SaveAs(csvPath & csvFileName, Excel.XlFileFormat.xlCurrentPlatformText, , , , , Excel.XlSaveAsAccessMode.xlNoChange, , , , , )
.workbooks(csvFileName).Close(csvPath & csvFileName, savechanges:=True)
End With
Catch ex2 As Exception
Throw ex2
Finally
objXL.Quit()
objXL = Nothing
End Try
I have isolated the exact line that is causing the exception to be thrown...
.Visible = False
Why would hiding the Excel UI cause an error of "We're sorry, but Excel has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly" to be displayed?
If i remark out this line then the application seems to work properly for me...

That I do not know. Do you have another machine where Office 2013 is installed, and where you can test? It could be system configuration issue, could be a change in the application behavior or a difference between 32-bit and 64-bit. You are updating
at least a couple of generations of software and now running in a 64-bit environment so there is always the potential for changes in behavior and software defects.
Unfortunately, I do not have Office 2013 64-bit installed so I cannot test this scenario.
You could also try posting to the
Excel for Developers forum to see if anyone has encountered the same issue when using Excel automation.

Printer driver hangs when printing with Office 2013/Windows 8 64 bit

Printer: HP Color LaserJet CM1312nfi
Printer Driver: V5.1 (up to date, downloaded from HP support website) or Generic V5.6
OS: Windows 8 Professional 64bit
When I try to print a certain Excel document with Excel 2013 and printer driver V5.1, the program hangs and needs to be terminated via task manager. This happens always with the same document, but not with all documents. The program hangs also when opening the print preview for the same document.
The same document prints fine with the generic printer driver V5.6 and with the driver that comes with Windows 8.
The same document prints fine with driver V5.1 under Windows 7 and Office 2010. The combination Windows 7/Office 2013 was not tested. The combination Windows 8/Office 2010 was also not tested.
When I try to print an empty document with Word 2013 and generic printer driver V5.6, the program hangs and needs to be terminated via task manager.
My conclusion is that the HP printer drivers have a problem with either Windows 8 or Office 2013 or a combination of both.
The printer driver that comes with Windows 8 and is automatically installed is useful as a temporary workaround, but it lacks certain options, e.g. manual duplex.
On request, I am ready to send the Excel document by e-mail for verification of the problem.
Any help or suggestions will be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Uli
This question was solved.

From what you describe you are having issues printing from MS Office. Have you had trouble printing from other resources on your computer (e.g. from the internet or another program)? The first thing I am going to suggest is that we start by uninstalling and reinstalling the printer from the resources available online.
First if you use a USB cord, make sure to remove it (this is important). Do not plug it back in until the software directs you to. Then go through the Devices and Printers, Programs and Features and Device Manager folders and insure that all copies, files, and programs related to the printer are removed. Then as directed, restart the computer.
In the START menu type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Here I want you to press Ctrl+A and hit DELETE. Some of the files will not allow you to delete them, skip those files and delete the majority that allows it.

We can't install Office 2013 64-bit on a Win 7 PC that had a 32-bit version of Office

We have a development PC running Windows 7 64-bit. This PC has been around for a while, and way back had various 32-bit versions of Office installed, starting with Office 2003 through 2010. Those versions were uninstalled and Office 2013 Pro
Plus 32-bit was the latest version installed. That version was uninstalled using Revo Uninstaller then the registry was cleaned using JV16 to make sure leftover junk from the prior 32 bit version(s) was removed so we could install Office 2013 x64
Pro Plus, which we now need for testing. It won't install because the installer sees something left over from the prior 32 bit version(s). We can't wipe the PC and start over; it has special sensor hardware and software that we can't move to a different PC
and we're on a tight timeline. We searched the registry and the Program Files (x86) folder and subfolders for anything left over from Office without any luck. The error message reads:
We can't install the 64-bit version of Office because we found the following 32-bit
programs on your PC:
Please uninstall all 32-bit Office programs, then try reinstalling 64-bit Office.
Note that the error message doesn't list the name(s) of any "32-bit programs on your PC" in the error message.
Anybody have an idea how to force an installation of 64-bit Office 2013 Pro Plus?

It is not just Office, there are a few other 32 bit MS applications that may block 64 bit installations:
Blocking and nonblocking Office applications in 64-bit installations
If 32-bit Office applications are installed on a computer, a 64-bit Office 2010 installation is blocked by default. The following section (Applications that block a 64-bit
Office 2010 installation) lists the applications that block a 64-bit Office 2010 installation. The next section (Applications that do not block a 64-bit Office 2010
installation) lists exceptions; that is, applications that do not block the installation. In such cases, installation of 64-bit Office proceeds even if the listed 32-bit applications are installed on the computer.
Applications that block a 64-bit Office 2010 installation
The following applications block a 64-bit Office 2010 installation:

Office 2013 Professional Plus - error 1653

I even executed this PowerShell script to ensure that Rollback is disabled and the Microsoft Helper is deleted
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/office/How-to-fix-Office-af646d16
Note that my Microsoft Helper folder was not even there before I run the script.
The Rollback was enabled as I checked and I checked manually for another or the same installation to be listed in the Program Settings.
After several Reboots and run as Administrator and frustrations I came to you.
Could you help me please?
Thanks in advance
For additional information, I of course share them with you.

Hi,
The description of error 1653 is that you could not perform a multiple-package transaction because rollback has been disabled. Multiple-Package Installations cannot run if rollback is disabled. Available beginning with Windows Installer version 4.5.
According to error code 1653, I find a similar question about it. I address it here, you can follow Micrey’s suggestion to check if it works.

“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”

Office 2013 Installer - Fails with No Errors

Hello,
I ran into issues on two different Windows 8 (64-bit) machines today, both with Office 2013 Pro Plus (32-bit) installed. I could not get the installer to come up to add a module (or make any other changes).
On one of the PCs, I tried running the Fixit to remove Office, since the option of the "Online Repair" was not accessible, (installer would not start). Fixit removed Office, but after a reboot, it still would not run the office installer, even
with Office 2013 completely gone.
Things I tried:
- Disabled anti-virus (windows defender)
- Run with elevated privileges (I'm a domain admin and UAC is off, but just to be safe)
- Removed skydrive
- Cleaned out temp directory
- Scanned for registry errors (none)
- Re-downloaded the installer DVD
- Made sure no pending windows update
- Reboots (lots of times, definitely after the uninstall)
- Checked the install log in %temp%, this is what I get:
2013/08/12 13:51:14:263::[2848] PERF: TickCount=1295931 Name=OBootStrapper::Run Description=Begin function

This is almost identical to what I see on the other PC, except with different drive letters.
THERE ARE NO ERROR MESSAGES - no popup, no installer dialog - nothing, which makes it really hard to troubleshoot. And it's happening on both Windows 8 machines that have had Office 2013 installed. I am so frustrated right now after wasting half of today
troubleshooting this.
Any thoughts?

Hi
Let’s follow these steps:
Make sure you have end the tasks of setup.exe and integratedoffice.exe.
   1. Press the Ctrl + Alt+ Delete key -> Click on Task Manager to open.
   2. Under Processes tab -> Select setup.exe -> Click on End Process.
    3. Under Processes tab -> Select integratedoffice.exe -> Click on End Process.
  Restart the computer in Clean Boot and install Office 2013. Follow the steps:
       http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
   Note: After you have finished troubleshooting in clean boot, ensure you restart the computer in normal mode.

Excel Calulates twice when set to Automatic in Office 2013

I have had a group of users who have raised an issue with Office 2013 running far slower for a number of spreadsheets. After investigating the fault, I have identified the issue as being due to the way in which Excel appears to be handling the calculations.
When I open the spreadsheet myself, on Office 2013 32 or 64 bit, I am asked to update the data, at which point the spreadsheet runs the calculations if I accept, and then runs them again. If I set this behaviour to manual, I can open the spreadsheet, request
an update, and then manually calculate, which only takes one pass at the data but provides the same results. The behaviour does not persist on an Excel 2010 machine, which does only a single pass on both manual and automatic. The spreadsheet does pull data
from an external sheet, but as this only occurs in Office 2013, I don't believe this to be intended behaviour.
Is there anyone who can shed some insight into why this acts this way, and how to prevent this. We are trying to upgrade our business to 2013, and are getting a huge amount of push back from this particular set of users over this issue

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to calculate once time when the file opening or update data.
I suggest you can make the file always calculate manual.
You may try to do following steps:
Click File>Options>Formulas> Calculate Options> Manual
Then you can save it .
For more detail information, please refer to the following link:

The article applies to Excel 2007, but we can refer to it.

HP Officejet 4500 Ethernet / Wifi Driver Problem (blank fields) with Office 2013

Hi,
I have an Officejet 4500 (Ethernet) and I have exactly the same problem as lots and lots of HP Printer owners!
Everytime I try to print on Office 2013 + Win 8 64-bit, the Printer window comes with strange "Asiatic" symbols, and not the original language (Portuguese or English, I tried both). (Note: my father has exactly the same printer I have and he already had some problems also on Win 7 + Office 2010, then I deleted all HP drivers, installed again and it solved the problem)
I already tried the menus you people talk about but in my model I do not have such options. I already installed everything again and again...and always the same problem! With another printer from another company I have no problems with the drivers on Office, so it must be from HP Drivers that do not get along with Office 2013!!! Please update them as soon as possible...

Hello DaveZiffer,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue since the installation of the Office program.
Here is a link that will take you to the 4 updates that are available for your printer.
After doing the updates, if you are still having issues, please feel free to write me back and I will be happy to research this issue further.
Thanks for your time.

Office 2013 and the KB3001652 update

I am using a click-to-run version of Office 2013 on my 64-bit Windows 7 SP1 system.
I do not allow Windows to update my system automatically.
Unless there is a good reason to do it more frequently, I use Windows Update every month to update my system manually.
For the last three months (February, March and April 2015), Windows Update has offered KB3001652 (update for Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime) as an important update.
At first, I didn’t know why this update was being offered.
I don’t have Visual Studio 2010 installed. But I later learnt that Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime comes as part of Office 2013, so KB3001652 appears to be a legitimate update for Office 2013.
However, I have still not installed the update.
I have the following queries:
Having installed a click-to-run version of Office 2013, I expected ALL updates to Office 2013 to be done automatically in the background.
In fact, I’m sure I read somewhere that no updates would come through the Windows Update route.
So why has this update come through Windows Update?
Does anyone know whether the KB3001652 update to Office 2013 will eventually be done as an automatic update in the background?
If you inspect the April updates to Office 2013 in support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3050766, the highest numbered individual update is still only KB2965279, so it might be a few months yet before KB3001652 is included (assuming it will be, of course).

Same problem here!. Giving the computer network access allows the control to be populated. Then I disabled and restarted and it seems to be ok....

Office 2013 Packager failed: Office (32-bit) not packaging because of Office (64-bit)

Hello,
I used ODT to download Office 2013 Pro 32-bit and now I am trying to create a package from those files. I use the command line:
Setup.exe /packager configuration.xml "E:\Office 2013 Pro App-v"
When I try to run this, I immidiatly get the following message:
"We found a problem! We're sorry, Office (32-bit) couldn't be installed because you have these 64-bit Office programs installed on your computer. Microsoft Office 2013. 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Office programs don't get along, so you can only have
one type installed at a time. Please try installing the 64-bit version of Office instead, or uninstall your other 64-bit Office programs and try this installation again."
I checked my installed programs on the server, but I don't have Office 2013 64-bit installed. I did in the past create packages for Office 2013 64-bit , but it's currently not in published/installed on the server. I checked with revo uninstaller to be sure.
Is there a registry setting, or something that is misleading App-V to believe I still have Office 2013 64-bit somewhere installed? I really need to stream MS Access 32-bit to users. But cannot solve this issue.
Thanks in advance,

Hello,
Thanks for replying. Your solution works, BUT I'm immidiatly running into a second problem. The .appv package that is created, cannot be published. The error I get is:
An unexpected error occurred while retrieving AppV package manifest. Windows error code: 1465 - Windows was unable to parse the requested XML data.
I think this has to do with issues in the september releases of Office 2013. I'm gonna try downloading a previous versin using ODT. Changing the configuration.xml file to:

Office 2013 & IE 64-bit: BAD combo to use with SPS (2010 & 2013)

Few weeks ago I have installed Office 2013 in my office Win7. Since then, whenever I click on a document in SPS 2010, it’s open TWICE!
I was very annoyed because when I had Office 2010, I didn’t have this problem.
After some search, I found that I’m not alone because some people have a similar problem with SPS 2013.
After some intensive tests, I have found out the cause of the problem: IE 10 which is implicitly in
64bit!
Let me be clear, if I have the following combination, I have the “doubly open” problem:
Win7 Pro 64bit + OS domain joined + Office 2013 64bit + IE 9 or 10 64bit
If I have the following combination, I have NO such problem:
Win7 Pro 64bit + OS domain joined + Office 2013 64bit + IE 9 32bit
I have no idea if other combinations would lead or avoid my problem. If anyone is interested to narrow down the combination, he’s welcome to do so :)
The current solution is to downgrade IE 10 to IE 9 in order to have IE in 32bit. There is no solution if one has to keep IE 10. Hope this post of mine could help others in the same situation of me and hope Microsoft developers
quickly fix the bug.

Hi Horinius,
Did you try to use IE 10 32-bit for this issue?
In 64-bit Windows 7, Internet Explorer 10(IE 10) has 32-bit and 64-bit together in one browser now. If you turn on “Enhanced Protected Mode” , you will have 64-bit tabs by default for IE 10, and vice versa.
For avoiding your problem, you are able to enable 32-bit for IE 10.
Here are some articles for you to take a look:

I hope this helps.

Office 2013 Silent XML setup works on 64-bit version but not on 32-bit

Hello,
I'm using a powershell script to silently install Lync 2013 (which is part of Office 2013) when domain computers initialize.
The installation is using a XML file to get the configurations and installs only Lync (not Word, Excel, etc). The 64-bit Office version installation I tested several times and is working fine, it installs only Lync 2013, but the 32-bit installation is using
an identical XML file, just changing the 64bit source to the 32bit source, and installs ALL the Office Products, everything. Anyone know whats wrong?
This is the xml file:
<Configuration Product="ProPlus">
<OptionState Id="LyncCoreFiles" State="Local" Children="Force" />
<Display Level="None" CompletionNotice="Yes" AcceptEula="Yes" />
<Logging Type="verbose" Path="%temp%" Template="LyncSetupVerbose(*).log" />
<Setting Id="REMOVEPREVIOUS" Value="" />
<Setting Id="SETUP_REBOOT" Value="Never" />
<DistributionPoint Location="\\grupouniasselvi.local\office\source\office2013_32bit" />
</Configuration>
And starting the setup like this: setup.exe /config configlync.xml

Messing around with the XML file I found a workaround to the problem, explicit added the others products in the config.xml and set to "Absent", like this:
<Configuration Product="ProPlus">
<OptionState Id="LyncCoreFiles" State="Local" Children="Force" />
<OptionState Id="ACCESSFiles" State="Absent" Children="Force" />
<OptionState Id="EXCELFiles" State="Absent" Children="Force" />
<OptionState Id="GrooveFiles" State="Absent" Children="Force" />
<OptionState Id="OneNoteFiles" State="Absent" Children="Force" />
<OptionState Id="OUTLOOKFiles" State="Absent" Children="Force" />
<OptionState Id="PPTFiles" State="Absent" Children="Force" />
<OptionState Id="PubPrimary" State="Absent" Children="Force" />
<OptionState Id="VisualStudio_PreviewServer_SPD" State="Absent" Children="Force" />
<OptionState Id="WORDFiles" State="Absent" Children="Force" />
<OptionState Id="XDOCSFiles" State="Absent" Children="Force" />
<OptionState Id="GrooveFiles2" State="Absent" Children="Force" />
<OptionState Id="TOOLSFiles" State="Absent" Children="Force" />
<Display Level="None" CompletionNotice="Yes" AcceptEula="Yes" />
<Logging Type="verbose" Path="%temp%" Template="LyncSetupVerbose(*).log" />
<Setting Id="REMOVEPREVIOUS" Value="" />
<Setting Id="SETUP_REBOOT" Value="Never" />
<DistributionPoint Location="\\grupouniasselvi.local\office\source\office2013_32bit" />
</Configuration>
It installed only Lync 2013 now, but its really odd that I needed to do this with the 32bit source and a single line did it with the 64bit source. Whats the difference? :(

Will macros in excel work properly if I switch Office 2013 32 bit to Office 2013 64 bit?

hi,
Will macros in excel created with Office 2013 32 bit work properly if i switch to Office Execl 2013 64 bit?
Thanks

Hi,
As far as I know, most of the macros might work well between 32bit and 64bit Excel. But there are some limitations for Excel 64bit:
Solutions using ActiveX controls library, ComCtl controls won’t work.
Third-party ActiveX controls and add-ins won’t work.
Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) that contain Declare statements won’t work in the 64-bit version of Office without being updated.
Compiled Access databases, like .MDE and .ACCDE files, won’t work unless they’re specifically written for the 64-bit version of Office.

If you have any further question about macros, I recommend you post the question to the MSDN forum for Excel

Unable to install 32 bit version of Office 2013

We had several computers deployed with the 64 bit version of Office 2013. Due to some unforeseen compatibility issues, we needed to remove the 64 bit version and then install the 32 bit version. While we have been able to remove the 64 bit version,
we are not able to install the 32 bit version. After we click setup.exe, We simply see the Office 2013 splash page that mentions "Please wait while setup prepares the necessary files" and then it disappears. Nothing in the event log either.
Any idea what is going on and how to resolve this?

Hi,
Do you mind telling us which category of Event viewer have you checked?
Most of the setup error log may be stored in Setup category, and some in Application category.
If there are some error logs, please upload, they'll help us to troubleshoot this issue.
Then, this issue also may be due to the remain of Office 2013 64bit. I recommend we remove it manually and clean the registry key:
==========
Method 1
Open C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\root\integration\
Delete all C2RManifest*.xml files in that folder.
Open an elevated command prompt. Tap on Windows, enter cmd, right-click on the result and select run as administrator from the menu.
Type cd "C:\Program files\Microsoft Office 15\root\integration".
Type integrator.exe /U.
To remove the Office 2013 preview scheduled tasks run the following commands.
Type schtasks.exe /delete /tn "FF_INTEGRATEDstreamSchedule"
Type schtasks.exe /delete /tn "FF_INTEGRATEDUPDATEDETECTION"
Type schtasks.exe /delete /tn "FF_INTEGRATEDOffice 15 Subscription Heartbeat"
Keep the command prompt open.
Open the Task Manager with Ctrl-Shift-Esc.
Click on the Process tab and kill the following processes: integratedoffice.exe,
appvshnotify.exe, firstrun.exe and setup*.exe.
Type sc delete OfficeSvc at the command prompt.
Open Windows Explorer and delete the Microsoft Office 15 folder
Open %ProgramData%\Microsoft and delete the ClickToRun folder
Open %ProgramData%\Microsoft\office and delete the

Note that the name of the last Registry key depends on the installed version of Office.
Delete Office 2013 start menu shortcuts
Open %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs and delete the Office 2013 folder
Go to the command prompt and run one of the following commands:
If you are running an x86 version of Office 2013 and an x64 operating system run the following command:
MsiExec.exe /X{50150000-008F-0000-1000-0000000FF1CE}
If you are running an x86 version of Office 2013 and an x86 operating system run the following command:
MsiExec.exe /X{50150000-007E-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}
If you are running an x64 version of Office 2013 and and x64 operating system run the following command:
MsiExec.exe /X{50150000-008C-0000-1000-0000000FF1CE}
Run the following command afterwards: MsiExec.exe /X{00150000-008C-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}
Method 2
Open the %windir%\Installer folder. Make sure you can view Hidden files and folders on your system

Select File > Export, type UninstallKey01 and select Save.
Under the uninstall key determine the subkey that has the following values:

Data: file_name path\Office Setup Controller\Setup.exe path
Delete the keys that match the data and repeat the process until all keys have been processed.
====
On the other hand, the installation source also may be a factor, please try to change one and test.
