Office 2013 H&B Click to Run - First Run Wizard Keeps Popping up

I repeatedly get this popup happening. I run though all the steps in the wizard and close program. Next time I open it the wizard pops up again. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling twice.
I tried to run the command: secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\inf\defltbase.inf /db defltbase.sdb /verbose
This was mentioned in another article and nothing seems to have helped.
The computer with this issue is running Windows 7 - 64 bit with all current updates installed.
My version of office is 15.0.4535.1511
Does anyone have any other ideas?

Hi,
It would be great if you can provide the screenshot here, so that we can understand you clearly.
If you mean the First Run movie that appears when Microsoft Office 2013 applications are first launched, please take a look at this blog:

Office 2013 professional plus clieck-to-run /packager mode appv pacakge

Hi!
I want to make appv package for office 2013 professional. I dont want to use preview. I want to use full version for makingappv package. I know we cant use sequencer to make .appv package for office 2013. I am using this http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36778
i.e.office deployment tool for click-to-run.
Now i am trying to run setup.exein /pacakger mode. But i am getting error which i don't understand
PS C:\office\tool> .\setup.exe /packager .\configuration.xml "C:\office"
ERROR: Failed to runas admin for file: C:\Users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\Microsoft Office 15\ClientX64\integratedoffi
ce.exe arguments: FLATTEN FLATTEN RERUNMODE config ".\configuration.xml" flattenedoutput "C:\office"
.Quitting!
I am logged in as Administartor, computer is not in domain. So what this issue?
Also it would awesome if anyone could give me some guide or link for how to use office deployment tool for click-to-run in /packager mode. There is nobdy who had posted about this. I have searched alot. MS help links are just guidelines i want to know anaybdy
even tried it?

Try running SETUP.EXE from an elevated command prompt instead of a PowerShell window.

Whats better for my mbp 2013 retina in the long run? Keep it plugged in as much as possible or letting the battery hit 10% and then recharge it?

Whats better for my mbp 2013 retina in the long run? Keep it plugged in as much as possible or letting the battery hit 10% and then recharge it?

Odd you ask that, since both are HORRIBLE,   ... especially often draining your battery low.
General consideration of your MacBook battery
Contrary to popular myths about notebook batteries, there is protection circuitry in your Macbook and therefore you cannot ‘overcharge’ your notebook when plugged in and already fully charged.
However if you do not plan on using your notebook for several hours, turn it off (plugged in or otherwise), since you do not want your Macbook ‘both always plugged in and in sleep mode’.
A lot of battery experts call the use of Lithium-Ion cells the "80% Rule", meaning use 80% of the full charge or so, then recharge them for longer overall life. The only quantified damage done in the use of Lithium Ion batteries are instances where the internal notebook battery is “often drained very low”, this is bad general use of your notebook battery.
A person who has, for example, 300 charge cycles on their battery and is recharging at say 40% remaining of a 100% charge has a better battery condition state than, say, another person who has 300 charge cycles on their battery and is recharging at say 10-15% remaining on a 100% charge. DoD (depth of discharge) is much more important on the wear and tear on your Macbook’s battery than the count of charge cycles. There is no set “mile” or wear from a charge cycle in specific. Frequent high depth of discharge rates (draining the battery very low) on a Lithium battery will hasten the lowering of maximum battery capacity.
All batteries in any device are a consumable meant to be replaced eventually after much time, even under perfect use conditions.
If the massive amount of data that exists on lithium batteries were to be condensed into a simplex, helpful, and memorable bit of information it would be:
1. While realistically a bit impractical during normal everyday use, a lithium battery's longevity and its chemistry's health is most happy swinging back and forth between 20% and 85% charge roughly.
2. Do not purposefully drain your battery very low (10% and less), and do not keep them charged often or always high (100%).
3. Lithium batteries do not like the following:
A: Deep discharges, as meaning roughly 10% or less on a frequent basis.
B: Rapid discharges as referring to energy intensive gaming on battery on a frequent basis (in which case while gaming, if possible, do same on power rather than battery). This is a minor consideration.
C: Constant inflation, as meaning always or most often on charge, and certainly not both in sleep mode and on charge always or often.
From Apple on batteries:
http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1446
"Apple does not recommend leaving your portable plugged in all the time."
Keep it plugged in when near a socket so you keep the charging cycles down on your LiPo (lithium polymer) cells / battery, but not plugged in all the time. When not being used for several hours, turn it off.
DoD (depth of discharge) is far more important on the wear and tear on your Macbook battery than any mere charge cycle count. *There is no set “mile” or wear from a charge cycle in general OR in specific.    As such, contrary to popular conception, counting cycles is not conclusive whatsoever, rather the amount of deep DoD on an averaged scale of its use and charging conditions.
                          (as a very rough analogy would be 20,000 hard miles put on a car vs. 80,000 good miles being something similar)
*Contrary to some myths out there, there is protection circuitry in your Macbook and therefore you cannot overcharge it when plugged in and already fully charged
*However if you don’t plan on using it for a few hours, turn it OFF (plugged in or otherwise) ..*You don’t want your Macbook both always plugged in AND in sleep mode       (When portable devices are charging and in the on or sleep position, the current that is drawn through the device is called the parasitic load and will alter the dynamics of charge cycle. Battery manufacturers advise against parasitic loading because it induces mini-cycles.)
Keeping batteries connected to a charger ensures that periodic "top-ups" do very minor but continuous damage to individual cells, hence Apples recommendation above:   “Apple does not recommend leaving your portable plugged in all the time”, …this is because “Li-ion degrades fastest at high state-of-charge”.
                    This is also the same reason new Apple notebooks are packaged with 50% charges and not 100%.
Contrary to what some might say, Lithium batteries have an "ideal" break in period. First ten cycles or so, don't discharge down past 40% of the battery's capacity. Same way you don’t take a new car out and speed and rev the engine hard first 100 or so miles.
Proper treatment is still important. Just because LiPo batteries don’t need conditioning in general, does NOT mean they dont have an ideal use / recharge environment. Anything can be abused even if it doesn’t need conditioning.
Storing your MacBook
If you are going to store your MacBook away for an extended period of time, keep it in a cool location (room temperature roughly 22° C or about 72° F). Make certain you have at least a 50% charge on the internal battery of your Macbook if you plan on storing it away for a few months; recharge your battery to 50% or so every six months roughly if being stored away. If you live in a humid environment, keep your Macbook stored in its zippered case to prevent infiltration of humidity on the internals of your Macbook which could lead to corrosion.
Considerations:
Your battery is subject to chemical aging even if not in use. A Lithium battery is aging as soon as its made, regardless.
In a perfect (although impractical) situation, your lithium battery is best idealized swinging back and forth between 20 and 85% SOC (state of charge) roughly.
Further still how you discharge the battery is far more important than how it is either charged or stored short term, and more important long term that cycle counts.
Ultimately counting charge cycles is of little importance. Abuse in discharging (foremost), charging, and storing the battery and how it affects battery chemistry is important and not the ‘odometer’ reading, or cycle counts on the battery.
Everything boils down to battery chemistry long term, and not an arbitrary number, or cycle count.
Keep your macbook plugged in when near a socket since in the near end of long-term life, this is beneficial to the battery.
In a lithium battery, deep discharges alter the chemistry of the anode to take up lithium ions and slowly damages the batteries capacity for the cathode to transport lithium ions to the anode when charging, thereby reducing max charge levels in mAh. In short, radical swings of power to lithium cells disrupts the chemical ecosystem of the battery to hold charges correctly which likewise impedes the perfect transfer of lithium ions both in charging and discharging. In charging your lithium battery, lithium ions are “pushed uphill” (hard) to the anode, and discharged “downhill” (easy) to the cathode when on battery power. Deep discharges, damages this “upward” electrolyte chemistry for the battery to maintain a healthy charge and discharge balance relative to its age and cycles.
Optimally, in terms of a healthy lithium battery and its condition, it is most happy at 50% between extremes, which is why low-power-drain processors such as the Haswell are ideal on lithium battery health since a partially charged battery with a low-drain processor has, in general, much more usage in hours
Battery calibration, battery memory, battery overcharging, battery training, …all these concepts are mostly holdovers from much older battery technology, and on older Apple portable Macbooks ranging from early nicads, NiMh and otherwise; and these practices do not apply to your lithium battery and its smart controllers.
Calibrating the battery on older Apple portable Macbooks with removable batteries.
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14087
There is no calibration of current Apple portable Macbooks with built-in batteries.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1490
There is no battery calibration with current Apple portable Macbooks with built-in batteries. Lithium batteries have essentially a 0-‘memory’, and all such calibration involve the estimations fed to the system controller on the SOC (state of charge) of the battery over long periods of time as the battery degrades. The software based battery controller knows the battery's characteristics, or SOC and adjusts itself. This is why there is both no need and purpose to periodically deeply drain your macbook battery, since it doesn’t affect the characteristics of the battery, and further still deep discharges are something you should not do on purpose to any lithium battery.

How to make sure Office 365 (2013) Pro Plus click to run updates after it is installed on a computer

We are getting ready to move from Office 2010 MSI to Office 365 (2013) click to run ProPlus. Everything is ready to uninstall and install the new product.
My question is if the Updates Enabled="TRUE" is not in the configuration.xml file will machines with the click to run office 365 pull updates from the cloud? I had been told that the Enabled=TRUE is not needed in the configuration file as
it is a default setting. We want our machines to pull down updates from the cloud in place of providing a manual update location on our network.
Our configuration.xml file looks like this:
<Configuration>
    <Add SourcePath="\\Server\Share" OfficeClientEdition="32" ForceDowngrade="TRUE" >
    <Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail">
      <Language ID="en-us" />
    </Product>
    </Add>
<Display Level="NONE" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
<Logging Name="OfficeSetup.txt" Path="C:\temp" />
<Property Name="AUTOACTIVATE" Value="0" FORCEAPPSHUTDOWN="TRUE" />
</Configuration>
Thanks,
Brit

I am trying more to control the process via GPO with a start-up script and have created a batch file which executes the below command. It works and installs which ever version you define in your .xml file, the only issue i am facing is that re-runs the setup
at each reboot which isn't ideal. I am currently working on below script which could check the version of the office upon boot-up and only run if the specific version is not available. I have pasted the script right at the bottom of the page and if anyone
could shed some light in making it to read the version value
"\\server\c2r\Office365 update\setup.exe" /configure "\\server\c2r\Office365 update\Customconfign.xml" (this is the batch-file used as a startup script)
PLEASE NOTE: There are three <Add SourcePath in my Cutomconfig.xml and not all three are required I use the one i need by taking the  from the beginning and the end of each line
<Configuration>
 Can only be used to download latest version of ofice365 (specify sourcepath)
<Add OfficeClientEdition="32" Version="15.0.4675.1002" > Use to download a office version direct from microsoft servers
 to deploy software from internal network resource
<Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail">

</Product>
</Add>
<Updates Enabled="TRUE" UpdatePath="\\server\c2r\Office365 update" />
<Display Level="FALSE" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
<Logging Path="\\server\c2r\Office365 update\Install Logs" />
<Property Name="FORCEAPPSHUTDOWN" Value="TRUE"/> force closes any running office application

this is what i am working on and wondered if any one would be able to rectify an issue with it as it doesn't seems to work

We noticed you may have signed in or signed out in another window. Click OK to reload your page. keeps popping up endlessly

I cannot move my cursor without this message popping up. This started yesterday but only popped up a few times. Now I cannot move without it popping up.

I couldn't take it anymore! I cleaned my registry, ran another Firefox update, disabled my add-ons, and went to att.net and att.com to see if they had upgrades to my home page (they didn't). Still that annoying message! As long as I was able to navigate away from my home page, I did not get that annoying pop-up so I decided to get a new home page. I was using att.net/yahoo, and now I am using just yahoo. So far so good - no pop ups. Still would like to know why this was happening-something to do with the att homepage?

When i try i download order and chaos for my 4s i click download but a download window keeps popping up and won't actually download?

order and chaos will not download i just keep getting a download window but it wont download

How to remove Office 2013 (Click to run) package?

I am having problems removing Office 2013 sequenced using Click to Run and is published to the machine as per MS guidelines.
It's a member of a connection group with another application.
I have tried many things:
get-appvclientpackage | stop-appvclientpackage | remove-appvclientpackage.
get-appclientconnectiongroup | remove-appvclientconnectiongroup
The connection group and both applications remain.
Error reported is that the application is still in use (no idea which one as it doesnt say). Task manager doesn't seem to list anything running from any virtual environment. I have tried viewing 'processes from all users' also.
I unpublished the connection group and the applications from the App-V Management Server, then retried the above commands which didnt work.
Tried rebooting after doing all the above, then retry PoSH commands and that didnt work either.
Any ideas?

"no default mail client": windows 7, adobe reader 11, office 2013

re: Error: "Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run MS Outlook and set it as the default mail client etc."
Does anyone know how to permanently stop this error, when simply tring to launch a PDF to view it????
Windows 7, Office 2013, Acrobat Pro 11.0.3
A test was done to uninstall reader 11, and reinstall 9.5, which at least allowed the PDF to be viewed on one computer, but did not fix other apps needing to interoperate with PDF and email (i.e. attach and email).
Is this a windows 7 registry problem, or a DLL problem?
R.

Hi Randal,
Firstly even though Outlook is set as default mail client you need to reapply the same from 'Start> Default Programs> Set Default Programs'
Now check if you still face the issue.
If Yes then you MUST add an email account in Reader to eliminate this message
In your Reader Preferences under Email Accounts, click Add Account>Other
In the Add Webmail Account window, input your email account details
Under Advanced Settings, configure your incoming and outgoing ports and security settings per your email account
Click OK, and then click Add. In the window, click the email account you just added and click "Make Default"
When it's set as the default mail account you'll see a check mark, and you WON'T see the error message anymore.
In case you still face issues please try the following registry change:
The registry edit is here for Office 2013 64 bit click to run installations that will enable Outlook 2013 to be recognized by third party applications:
1. Create registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook
2. Create String value:
Bitness
3. Set the String value for Bitness to:
x64
Note: Please backup the registry before trying to modify it.
There's also a MS hotfix which you might want to run: "Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request" error message w…
Let me know if this helped.

Update Server of auto-update by Click-to-Run

Hi.
I have a client PC environment which was installed Office 2013 into using "Click-to-Run."
And the client belongs to a LAN inside a Firewall. It is a very popular situation.
Microsoft documents say the Office product will be updated automatically from CDN(Contents Delivery Network.)
But I couldn't find information of where the Update Server is and which port my Firewall should open.
Does anyone have suggestion?
(For now, I don't expect the way I use ODT(Office Developer Tools) in another internet-connected computer.)

That's expected, you cannot visit it directly.
If you didn't customize your Office installation, by default, Office click-to-run will download and install updates from that server automatically.
If you want to find the version history for Office 2013 Click-to-Run, here is the link:
http://support.microsoft.com/gp/office-2013-click-to-run
I would suggest you to take a look at below articles to get more information about how click-to-run updates:

Office 2013 keeps asking for updates

Hi guys,
Looked around but can't seem to find anything for this. Have a user on office 2013. Win7. Any time he opens up any office application he has a message saying the software needs updating. If we click OK, we get the message saying we are all up to date. If
we close the application down and open it again, or another office app, the update message is back!
Any way to get rid of this?
Thanks

Is your Office a Click-To-Run version or a MSI (traditional) version?
If it’s a MSI version, please go to Windows Update and check if you have installed all updates for Office. If you have all updates installed, and issue still occurs, please try to repair your Office 2013 from Control Panel.
If it’s a Click-To-Run version of Office 2013, by default, Click-to-Run will automatically check for updates in the background. Please retry the update check by disabling and then re-enabling updates in:
File->Account->Update Options.
Also, if you have specified an UpdatePath in the Configuration.xml while deploying Office 2013, please make sure you have an updated source in that path：http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219426(v=office.15).aspx#BKMK_UpdatesElement
If updates still do not work, follow these steps to do an Online Repair:
1.Go to Control Panel
2.Click Programs and Features tab
3.Click on Microsoft Office, then Change
4.Click on Online Repair
5.Click on Repair

Office 2013 for O365 Intune Install (Click to Run)

Hi Forum
I have been trying to push Office 2013 click to run install through Intune.
I want to use the source files in the Cloud rather than on a Network Share.
So far I have:
Downloaded the OCT and downloaded the Setup.exe and the Config.xml
Changed the config file (a few times, testing and got this working using cmdline)
I have run the /download and the /configure switch and managed to get this installing from the Cloud locally but not from Intune
In Intune, I upload the Setup.exe (as primary) and my custom config.xml (is included) using this cmdline I deploy: setup.exe /configure configuration.xml (which managed to install the software locally)
Then Deployed to the App Portal, I run the install and it fails at 50% every time.
I have left the source path "empty" and with
http://officecdn.microsoft.com/pr/?????????????? (link come from downloading .cab files)
Is there something I am doing wrong?
Thanks in advance
NN

HI,
I wondered if anyone can help. I too would like to able to install Office 2013 from my Office 365 account to all PC's using Intune.
I have tried to follow the documentation but cant get this to work. Here is where I am so far:
Downloaded Office Deployment Tool for Click to run
Ran the setup /download "Path to Config File"
Used this Config file
<Configuration>
<Add OfficeClientEdition="32" >
    <Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail">
      <Language ID="en-us" />
    </Product>
</Add>
<Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
< Logging Name="OfficeSetup.txt" Path="%temp%" />
</Configuration>
This downloaded OK but not sure where. I am unsure what to do after that. I am, at this point just trying to get it working locally. I ran
setup /configure "Path to Config File"  that prompted me to run the Click to run install, however, this just flashes up on the screen and is gone.
Please advise, I don't know when this should be so difficult
Regards
Jason

Office 2013 Shell UI Language

I have some issues with the Shell UI language of Office 2013 via App-V 5.0 (SP2).
The Shell UI language is German, I want it in English.
Package was created using the latest ODT version (Office Deployment Tool for Click-to-Run, 2/25/2014).
1. setup.exe /download Configuration_AllOffice2013.xml
2. setup.exe /packager Configuration_AllOffice2013.xml E:\tmp\Office\AppV
So far so good.
But after publish (manual with Powershell), all icons are using German when using mouse-over.
Office Tools: German.
The UI however is English as expected (Language in Office applications).
According to technet the first language set in configuration.xml is the default shell UI:
“The first language determines the Shell UI culture. The Shell UI is the language of shortcuts, right-click context menus, and tooltips”.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219426.aspx#BKMK_LanguageElement
My configuration.xml:
<Configuration>
<Add SourcePath="E:\tmp\Office" OfficeClientEdition="32" >
<Product ID="ProPlusVolume" >
<Language ID="en-us" />
<Language ID="nl-nl" />
<Language ID="de-de" />
<Language ID="fr-fr" />
</Product>
<Product ID="VisioStdVolume" >
<Language ID="en-us" />
<Language ID="nl-nl" />
<Language ID="de-de" />
<Language ID="fr-fr" />
</Product>
<Product ID="VisioProVolume" >
<Language ID="en-us" />

</Product>
<Product ID="ProjectStdVolume" >
<Language ID="en-us" />
<Language ID="nl-nl" />

</Product>
<Product ID="ProjectProVolume" >

<Language ID="fr-fr" />
</Product>
</Add>
<Updates Enabled="FALSE" />
<Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
<Logging Name="AllOffice2013_Setup.txt" Path="%temp%" />
<Property Name="AUTOACTIVATE" Value="1" />
</Configuration>
As a workaround I can modify the DeploymentConfig.XML and change all shortcut languages +
tooltips. But I don’t believe ODT cannot generate an English Shell UI.
Any suggestions please?

sorry have not played around allot yet with ODT, so did a new test with the exact same config as you posted. Guess what... same problem,
my log also says: culture="en-us" productstoadd="ProPlusVolume_en-us_nl-nl_de-de_fr-fr_x-none"
he also created the package like: VisioProVolume_ProPlusVolume_VisioStdVolume_ProjectStdVolume_ProjectProVolume_de-de_en-us_fr-fr_nl-nl_x86.appv.
I tried swapping places en-us with de-de but this did not change anything. Seems to me a bug indeed in ODT.
edit:
ok did an other test, added the cs-cz language like:
<Language ID="en-us"/>
<Language ID="nl-nl"/>
<Language ID="cs-cz"/>
<Language ID="fr-fr"/>
And again same issue, language is set to Czech instead of English. It seems ODT does some alphabetic order or something.

Office 2013 BUG report: undesirable components (and various hijacks) are installed against user's will and cannot be removed

Installing Office 2013 Pro Plus RTM x64 on a fresh Windows 8 Pro WMC system.
Used Custom setup procedure to install only the desired software, i.e. unchecking most of the checkboxes.
After setup, a lot of undesirable software got nevertheless installed although it was specifically UNCHECKED at setup time, e.g. "Office Themes", "Microsoft SharePoint Foundation support", "Compare Diagnostics blahblah" + a bunch of outdated truetype

No matter how many times we run again the "Change" setup from Windows' "Programs and Features" and uncheck these components, the setup routine does NOT uninstall them, with or without reboot etc. Basically, the Add/Remove function of the setup has NO EFFECT.
The setup also installs (offering no choice or notice to the users) a lot of undesirable bloatware e.g. some "Office Upload Center", "Spreadsheet Compare" etc. and several tasks (Office 2013 Sync-something stuff) & services & explorer hijacks (a greyed-out
"Skydrive Pro", what the...) AGAINST the user's will or consent.
These unwanted apps and hijacks seemingly cannot be uninstalled, not even kept from running and reenabling itself - except if killing the tasks using the Task Manager, then deleting (!) the files from their respective folders, in addition to editing the
registry to get rid of all this stuff. Of course the crap gets reinstalled/reenabled with any further launch of the office setup...
Reminds me a lot of bad practices by malicious software. :|
Office techs and engineers, PLEASE don't promise a customized setup option if it's for it to be snake oil... And don't offer a post-setup "Add/remove" or "Change" routine that has absolutely no effect whatsoever... And don't install unneeded/undesirable
useless features as tasks and hijacks that cannot be killed or get rid of...
Or at least please mention explicitely that you know better than users themselves, what they want and need and decide... :)
As a sidenote, the same issues were present with Office 2010 Pro Plus SP1 - Sharepoint stuff and office themes and all that jazz was already installed even when deliberately left unchecked, and could never be uninstalled afterwards.

Hi,
First, I want to confirm with you that whether you install Office via MSI or Click to Run.
Only volume-licensed versions of Click-to-Run installations can be customized using the Click-to-Run Admin Tool. Retail versions of Click-to-Run, however, do not support the use of the Admin
Tool or provide any user interface based customizations to the product. These versions, for example, do not allow the user to choose what applications or features to not install or even the location of the installation files.
If you used MSI installation, then check to see the steps in the link below:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/install-or-remove-individual-office-programs-and-components-HA010354261.aspx
Note: We can’t remove Office programs individually after the suite has been installed. You must uninstall Office completely, and then reinstall it using a custom installation.
Also, here’s a link about Office Customization Tool changes in Office 2010, the
Office Customization Tool is part of the Setup program and is the primary tool that administrators use to customize an Office 2010 client installation:

Office 2013 VL and app-v 5 SP2 on RDS server - package add fails with script error

We have used the MS Office Depolyment Tool for click-to-run to download the latest Office 365 version, and flatten it into an app-v 5 package - not a problem.
When we try to add the package to our client machine (Server 2008R2 running the app-v 5 SP2 client software), it fails with an message that a script has failed and not returned a 0 code. We have not added any scripting to this automatically created
package, so it seems that the app-v client does not like the "official" package. Any hints and tips gratefully accepted, thanks
App-v client has scripting enabled.
The powershell command line we are using is:
PS C:\windows\system32> Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
PS C:\windows\system32> Add-AppvClientPackage -path file://hostname/app-v/o365-noaccess/ProPlusVolume_en-us_zh-cn_x86.appv -DynamicDeploymentConfiguration \
\hostname\app-v\O365-NoAccess\ProPlusVolume_en-us_zh-cn_x86_DeploymentConfig.xml
with a result of:
Add-AppvClientPackage : Embedded Script process exited with an error code indicating failure (return code other than 0). Please ensure that Embedded
Script process can complete successfully and exits with 0.
Operation attempted: Configure AppV Package.
AppV Error Code: 100000000C.
Please consult AppV Client Event Log for more details.

and these are the error messages we see in the debug app-v client logs:

exited with failure error code: The extended attributes are inconsistent.. Because Rollback is set to true in the script definition, the current AppV Client operation was rolled back.
We believe this last error message is the kicker, but can't debug any further.

Just to validate the problem, I started again.
I have just downloaded the latest ODT from MS, and then downloaded the latest Office 2013 packaged - volume license. Then created the app-v package - all went perfectly, no error messages. Uploaded the package to the app-v 5 server and published
it. I have made NO changes to any of the files.
I have just built a brand new Windows Server 2008R2 Datacentre VM, patched it to the hilt, and installed the RDS role, powershell 3 and appv 5.0 SP2 client for RDS.
I then use powershell as above:
          scripting unrestricted
          app v client scripting enabled
         app v server added
          global and user update enabled
         add-appvclient package "url of office package.appv"
             and received exactly the same error message.
It is not complaining that scripting is not allowed, it is complaining that the script is invalid.
Help!!!!
