Office 2013 - Excel 2013 - "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed."

I had Office 2010 starter and Outlook 2010 installed. I recently purchased the Office 2013 click to run version (paid monthly subscription) and installed Office 2013. After installing 2013 I noticed that when I opened up Excel files they would
still open in Office 2010. I uninstalled Office Starter 2010 and uninstalled Outlook 2010.
I then manually fixed the file associations for Word, PowerPoint, Publisher and such, however I could not manually fix the Excel file association.
Excel documents show the correct icon however when I double click on them the following error appears "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed."
I have used the Office 2013 repair process, I have uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2013, I have manually uninstalled office 2013 using KB 2739501 (
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2739501/en-us ) and I still can not open Excel documents.
Recently I found that I can not do mail merges either using Excel documents as the data source and I believe the two items are related.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
Please try to turn off compatibility mode and then check the issue again. To do this, please follow:
1. Open this folder location:
For Windows 32-bit: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15
For Windows 64-bit: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15
2. Find Excel.exe, right-click it, and choose Properties.
3. Click on the Compatibility tab and ensure that all of the boxes are
un-checked.

'this action is only valid for products that are currently installed'

hi im new to discussion groups so i might be a little slow... i came aross a problem a couple of days ago where when i clicked on itunes this came up'this action is only valid for products that are currently installed' im not really sure what to do about it!i have tried to uninstall it but it wont let me i have also tried to install a new itunes but it gets stuck and never finishes the install. i have done some research on the net about it and i think it may have occured due to deleting mcafee of my computer however there are no solutions to this problem.
can anybody help?
thanks!

Every time I try to open iTunes a pop up opens
that says "This action is only valid for products
that are currently installed."
that's actually an installer error equivalent
to the InstallShield 1605 error:
Error 1605: This action is only valid for
products that are currently installed
... when you go to launch itunes, are you opening it
via the start menu, or are you clicking on a desktop
icon? if you are clicking on a desktop icon, what is
it called, and what does the icon look like?
Never Mind! But Thanks any way

ERROR:"This action is only valid for products that are currently installed"

I am trying to open iTunes and I keep getting this error message. I try the shortcut, going through the start menu and I can not open iTunes. The program has not been uninstalled and I have even tried reinstalling with no success. I think a link is broken in the file, but I am not sure how to correct this.
I have all of my music on an external hard drive (if that helps at all). I just want to get back into my iTunes again.
Please help!

lordy.
okay let's try this procedure.
first head to Windows Update to make sure you're fully up-to-date in that regard.
next, head into Add/Remove and attempt to uninstall any existing QuickTime you have showing up in there. if it goes, good ... if not, we'll attend to it when we attend to itunes.
next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility and then use it to remove any itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information you find on the PC:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
now use the instructions in the following document as a guide for manually removing any leftover itunes and QuickTime program files:
Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows
now download and save a fresh copy of the itunes installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
iTunes 7.0.1.8 Installer
does that install go through okay? if so, does itunes launch normally afterwards?

ITunes 7.0.2 Error - ""This action is only valid for products..." message

Hi,
I see other folk are having problems upgrading to iTunes 7.0.2 but I've had a read of some recent posts and can't find a problem quite like mine...
OK, so I decided to say yes to the "upgrade to iTunes 7.0.2?" prompt when I turned iTunes 7 on this afternoon. I followed all the prompts correctly and allowed the computer to re-start when installation was complete.
My iTunes "i" icon has disappeared from the QuickLaunch bar, and has been replaced by a Windows application blue and white square-window icon. When I click on it to run iTunes I get an error message prompt:
"This action is only valid for products that are currently installed."
I click "OK" and then nothing happens, iTunes (niether 7 nor 7.0.2) does not load and there is no way to get into iTunes. Going through the menu bar results in the same error message.
I am not sure what to do. I don't want to wipe iTunes and start again because I have quite a few purchased tracks that may be lost, and I doubt I would be able to get them back.
Does anybody have any advice?
Many thanks.
(I have tried playing a QuickTime movie file and that works fine).
QuickTime 7.1.3 seems to be working fine.

Remove the shortcut that is in the QuickLaunch bar.
Go to C:\Program Files\iTunes\ and make a new shortcut for iTunes.exe and put it in the QuickLaunch bar.
That should resolve the issue.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

Acro 9 Pro/CS3 new install - "action valid only for product that is currently installed"

Hi,
I successfully installed CS3 on XP/SP3 followed by the Acrobat 9 Pro upgrade to 8 that was included. The install seemed fine, and I activated Acrobat 9. However, when I click the start menu icon created by the installation, the got the message "action valid only for product that is currently installed". In addition, the standard IE integration is not present. Starting a repair from the Acro Help menu doesn't seem to do anything, and the product does not appear in Control Panel Add & Remove programs.
I can start Acr 9 by navigating to the .exe in Program Files, but really need to fix the install.
Has anyone seen this and fixed it?
Also, if I (hopefully not) have to manually uninstall and reinstall, does anyone know
- how to manually uninstall Acro 9
- if uninstall destroys the activation I've already completed?
Thanks much,
Gordon

CS3 comes with AA8, not AA9. I don't know where you got AA9, unless it was a trial. As far as I know, there was no packaged upgrade to AA9 with CS3. Others can confirm that I guess. You probably need to uninstall AA9 and reinstall AA8. Then update AA8 to the current version, AA8.1.4. Bill

Excel 2007 throws "this action is valid for the products which are currently installed" while i try to open .txt file format.

Hello,
We have Windows 2008 r2 TS, on which we have MS office 2007 Standard installed. There are almost 50 users on this particular machine.
The problem is we get an error message when we try to open a .txt file in Excel (Right click on .txt file--> Open with --> Excel). Error message is as follows "this action is valid for the products which are currently installed".
Previously this was faced by all users so we completely reinstalled it, which worked, except for 1 user. Currently i have recreated the profile for that particular user but that also didn't helped.
A drag-drop approach works but user don't want it that way.
Now am clueless in terms of where should i look into. Any help would really be helpful.
Thanks,
Amol S

I get this error message when redeeming an app from the apple "Aproved" website "Appexchanger" which is when you check out free apps and get credits to get paid apps, but i am in canada and everytime i go to redeem one i get "This code is only valid for customers of the USA Store." i think this is unfair because ive done what theve asked and theres nothing on the site that says "US ONLY" and the people who made it wont even contact me back! Please help i just want some apps!

Hi all,
I had the exact same error using a user decision configuration. Issue was that I was using a VIEW that did not exist:
ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.TS90300005" connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="DefaultApprovalView">
DefaultApprovalView was not defined as a custom view.
SOLUTION: changed it to standard SAP com.sap.pct.erp.srvconfig.approvaloverview view and it worked!
ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.TS90300005" connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="com.sap.pct.erp.srvconfig.approvaloverview">
This is normally by default defined in a standard portal system.

HT2736 this code is only valid for customers of the Australia store

iTunes will not allow me to down load my iTunes Gift. It says "This code is only valid for customers of the Australia store". What options do I have or the person who gifted this iTunes Gift ?

Not really an option. It was an e-mail and a spacific album that was gifted.

"This code is only valid for customers of the store." - LOTR digital download

I have the codes to download the LOTR trilogy for digital copies, and the first and third movies download fine, but whenever I input the code for the second movie, iTunes keeps saying "This code is only valid for customers of the store." What is the problem?
And I am in the United States, downloading for myself.

HT2275 Do I need to choose "Share this printer on the network" for printers that are not connected directly to my MacBook Pro? I have two HP printers connected to an Airport Extreme (WiFi turned off). I connect by WiFi to another Airport Extreme w cable t

I have three Airport Extreme (AE) routers in my home network.
The main AE is set up for wifi access. The other two are connected by ethernet cables to the main AE. My MacBook Pro connects to the network wirelessly through the main AE. The AE in my office has two HP printers connected to it by ethernet cables. I have a Kodak All-in-one that is connected by USB to my MacBook Pro.
I reset my printer connections on my MacBook Pro and had to add all the printers back to my printer list. I don't know if I understand what the checkbox "Share this printer on the network" in the Print & Fax System Preferences window is for. My guess is that I don't need to share printers unless they are connected to my MacBook Pro by USB, so I should uncheck the "Share this printer on the network" box for the two HP printers that are connected to the AE. I print to them over the network, but they're not connected directly to any computer. I thought if my MacBook Pro wasset to share them and was shutdown, the printers might not be available to my Mac mini or Dell PC, which connect by ethernet to the office AE (which has the two printers connected to it).
What should I do?
For printers connected directly to a Mac (or PC) by USB, check the "Share this printer on the network" box? In my Sharing Preferences, I check "Share Printers."
For printers connected to the AE by ethernet, UNcheck the "Share this printer on the network" box on my Macs (& PCs?) when I add the printers to my printer list? In my Sharing Preferences, I UNcheck "Share Printers?"

Question is - will the 2 networks (using auto channel negotiations) exist well in the same house or will there be interference?
Things will be fine since the AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme will automatically search for a good wireless channel. If you assign a separate name for the wireless network, then devices will need to log in separately to this network. The extending device will need to be configured in Bridge Mode.
My suggestion would be to configure what is known as a "roaming" network in your question #2. In this case, you would assign the same wireless network name, security and password settings to the extending device and configure it in Bridge Mode.
The advantage to #2 is that you will be able to walk your laptop from a location near the Time Capsule and as you move close to the extending device, the laptop will automatically switch to pick up the stronger signal from the extending AirPort.
You are actually creating a separate network in #2, so you have the advantage of maximum bandwidth for both the TC network and the AirPort network.
Question - does the Airport Express have to be directly connected to the TC or can that connected be through a switched network?
I'm assuming that you are asking about an Ethernet switch here, correct? The AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme can connect to the Ethernet switch, or directly back to a LAN port on the Time Capsule, whichever is easier to setup.
Question 2 - assuming I can connect the Airport Express to the TC over a switched network, will "extending" the network using the Ethernet network still reduce my overall wireless bandwidth?
Connecting the remote device using Ethernet is by far the best way to extend a wireless network because it maintains maximum bandwidth on the network. This is the way that any good commercial network is designed.
Post back if you need any tips to get things setup.

I send a gift app to my friend oversea, when she went to redeem it say "This code is only valid for customers of Australia store", what do i do so that my friend can redeem the app? or how do i get my money back if she can't redeem the app?

i need help with this!!!

There is nothing your friend can do to redeem the app. Gifts, as the ITunes Store says when you go to make the gift, are redeemable only in the country of purchase. Whether you can get a refund no one here can say with certainty. The terms of sale for the iTunes Store state that all sales are final. You can contact the iTunes Store, explain the reason for your request, and ask, though:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
It's possible they'll make an exception for you.
Good luck.

Can I use this app to log on to computers that are not in a network

I'd like to be able to log on to a few clients' computers who are not on one network and be able to provide remote tech support.
Will this Remote Desktop app work for that, or does it only work for computers that are all on the same network?

Thanks so much. I couldn't tell by reading all the literature if it was possible or not and no one at Apple could help. I had a feeling it wasn't going to work the way I wanted it to. I will check out LogMeIn and see if that suits better.
Appreciate very much your responding to me so quickly.
Thank you!
