Office 2013 PACKAGEGUID

Hi everyone,
I am having trouble generating an Office 2013 package with a different package GUID. Here is my XML
<Configuration>
<Add SourcePath="C:\officeproplus\" OfficeClientEdition="32" >
<Product ID="ProPlusVolume">
<Language ID="en-us" />
</Product>
</Add>
<Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
<Property Name="AUTOACTIVATE" Value="1" />
<Property Name="PACKAGEGUID" Value="12345678-ABCD-1234-ABCD-1234567890AB" />
</Configuration>
I basically copy pasted the XML from here;
http://www.applepie.se/office-2013-and-unique-appv-pkg-id
I see a lot of forum posts talking about the ability to choose the package GUID, but nothing that would point to what I'm doing wrong.
The package created has the same default package GUID (here is a snippet from the deployment XML)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<DeploymentConfiguration PackageId="D24C3BDD-8FAD-44d3-998C-933F8F053682" DisplayName="Microsoft Office 15 ProPlusVolume_en-us_x86" IgnorableNamespaces="" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/appv/2010/deploymentconfiguration"
I did try publishing just in case and the package GUID is definitely the D24 one, not the one I am choosing in the XML.
When I look at flattener.log, it shows me the packageGUID being set as the default;
Flattener.exe /PackageGUID:D24C3BDD-8FAD-44d3-998C-933F8F053682
In the packagerparameters.txt file I also see similar.
What am I doing wrong?

Hello,
You must use the latest version;

Office 2013 partialy virtualized breaks Outlook2013

Hi,
We tryed to virtualize Access Visio and Project 2013 in one package using the Click to Run method. For this method we made a xml file with the following content:
<Configuration>
    <Add SourcePath="C:\Temp\Project\Download" OfficeClientEdition="32" >
    <Product ID="ProPlusVolume" >
      <Language ID="nl-nl" />
      
<ExcludeApp ID= "Outlook" />
      <ExcludeApp ID= "Excel" />
      <ExcludeApp ID= "Groove" />
      <ExcludeApp ID= "InfoPath" />
      <ExcludeApp ID= "Lync" />
      <ExcludeApp ID= "OneNote" />
      <ExcludeApp ID= "PowerPoint" />
      <ExcludeApp ID= "Publisher" />
      <ExcludeApp ID= "SharePointDesigner" />
      <ExcludeApp ID= "Word" />
    </Product>
    <Product ID="ProjectProVolume" >
      <Language ID="nl-nl" />
      
    </Product>
    <Product ID="VisioProVolume" >
      <Language ID="nl-nl" />
      
    </Product>
</Add>
  
<Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
  <Logging Name="Office2013Setup.txt" Path="%temp%" />
  <Property Name="AUTOACTIVATE" Value="1" />
</Configuration>
When using this xml to download and build the appv package the ExcludeApp tags seem to be ignored. I end up with a package containing all parts. But this is only problem 1 there is a second problem: When the AppV package is deployed on a machine with Outlook
2013 and installed in the base image with the Office 2013 installer. Then each time Outlook is started it gets repaired. When the AppV is unpublished this behaviour stops.
The question i have is it supported to deploy Office 2013 half native and half as AppV on the same system. This sounds wierd but many organisations only want part of their employers to have tools like Access. In case of deploying on terminal server it is
nice to give most users the base like Outlook,Word,Excel and Accessruntime. And some privileged users the Access,Visio Project AppV package as addition.
Is this scenario possible with AppV 5 or should all parts be installed native and use a some sort of user profile control to control who gets what?
regards,
Leon.

Use a clean machine for ODT, I use a VM with snapshots.

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

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.

Analytic and Debugs logs aren’t very helpful (Client-Publishing):
No package published.

So, Access denied (0x5) on Integrator.exe in ProgramData? As we have AppLocker in place, checked the AppLocker logs. But no trace in there.
Other AppV5 applications does work
Tested on two different App-V 5 Pub Servers (5.0 SP1 and SP1 with HF4), same behaviour.
Tested on three Win7 SP1 x64 clients, same behaviour.
EnablePackageScripts (client config) is enabled on all clients.
Issue was
reported before on the forums, but Domain Users and Domain Computers have already READ permissions to the AppV Content Share (NTFS permissions) where the .appv file is stored.
Added (as a test) Domain Computers and Everyone Full Control to c:\ProgramData\App-V, doesn’t solve it.
Cannot use ProcMon, because the Publish event occurs before user login.
I’m out of ideas. Someone that could assist me please?

The above fix was a lucky shot.
This solved it (hopefully) for good;

Is ms office 2013 supported for report generation? Error 41106

Hi
I have a copy of LV full development suite with the Excel and Word report generation toolkit added.
I have recently changed to using Office 365 that includes offline versions of Excel and Word from Office '13.
When using the report generation toolkit, I get an error 41106.
I have reinstalled the toolkit - no effect.
I sort of assume therefore that office 2013 is not supported?
Any hints, tips, patches or workarounds please.

I've seen some issues when I upgraded to Office 2010. Note that it is possible that the route cause of your problem is totally different but in my case there was some ActiveX properties or Methods call that have been changed. I solved this issue by navigating to the property/method that caused the error, clicked on it and reselected the same property/method. You could probably find some older post that discuss that. Hope this help.

Office 2013 (Mainly Outlook) Ribbon Menu Display Error

So i have created a MDT System Image for deploying Windows across our Business we are currently using Windows 8.1 32/64Bit Office 2013 SP1 now i have recently updated the image simply to install the latest load of Windows Updates so we are not installing
a load of updates when imaging a machine. a lot of our users are reporting issues in Office mainly Outlook but Word has the issue also, the Ribbon bar has Pixelated Display issues and one would have to close he application and re-open to resolve.
Now i have uploaded two screenshots to my box account and shared the images below as you can see from the screenshots it looks to be a display issue but it is only the Office Applications that fall victim, once you change to something else it dissapears
but this is happening a few times a day now. i have blanked out with black boxes the secure information from our relevant party's they are separate to the issue.

Hi,
I would suggest you start Outlook in Safe Mode to determine if it's 3rd-party add-ins related:
Press Win + R, type "outlook.exe /safe" in the blank box, press Enter.
If there is no such problem in safe mode, disable suspicious add-ins to verify which add-ins caused this problem.
Since you have mentioned that you also meet this problem in Word, I doubt if it's related to a setting in Office:
In any Office application, such as Outlook, go to File -> Options -> Advanced -> Display -> Find "Disable hardware graphics acceleration", have you checked this box? If no, check it and click "OK" to save the setting.
This option is added since Office 2013, and it's global, once it's set in an Office application, it applies to others as well.
More information about hardware acceleration can be found in this article below:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/cc26ac52-5c94-468e-ac34-35c9dcc5b422/hardware-graphics-acceleration?forum=outlook
We can also consider this:
On the Desktop, right click on This PC(or Computer) icon, select
Properties, then Advanced system settings on the left side, under
Advanced tab, click on the Settings button for
Performance.
Now we see this:
Uncheck the box for Animate controls and elements inside windows, click
OK button.
I hope the information can be helpful.
Thanks,
Melon Chen

Office 2013 app-v packages

In this article, http://blogs.windows.com/itpro/2013/12/02/announcing-mdop-2013-r2/   I see mention of an Office version called "Office 2013 ProPlus
App-V Package".    Is this a download? I don't see it available as one when I login to my VLSC site.
We plan to install Office 2013 pro plus VLA LOCALLY (on C:) in our vdisk for virtual machines, but will want to stream Visio,Project,Access 2013 to our users' VMs, using App-V.    (We used to use Citrix XenApp to stream them)
In the Citrix world, "streaming" is the opposite of Publishing or Hosting (running the app ON the server). Streaming means it copies over the files to the user's C: drive on their VM when they launch the appl.
Please advise.

Hi,
As far as I know, Microsoft Office 2013 App-V packages are created by using the Office Deployment Tool (ODT). The created packages may have Subscription Licensing or Volume Licensing.
You need to download Office applications through the ODT first, then convert it into an Office 2013 App-V package with ODT tool.
For more details, please refer to this KB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2915745/en-us

It's recommended to download and install
Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office

Office 2013 - Incorrect Icons In Taskbar When Apps Running

Hi,
I have a a strange issue relating to Office 2013 (all apps in suite) in our school based Windows 7 domain environment.
When students login and run any app from the office suite they launch correctly and are able to be used. However the icon that is displayed in the task bar for say, Word, is not that of Word but is the icon for Database Compare 2013. Powerpoint
as another example always displays the Publisher icon. If you right click the icon the options available also refer to the incorrect app, so instead of an option to bring the Powerpoint app to the forefront it says Publisher.
The incorrect icon is always the same one for each app whenever launched and is the same for all users.
We have updated Windows and the Office to the latest patches. Possibly worth noting that we are running this config on Apple iMacs using bootcamped Windows 7 but I don't personally believe this has any bearing as it's only Office related.I have search
for instances of this issue and see there is a hotfix for incorrect icons when in a remote session rather than physically logged onto a machine. I also see references to deleting the icon cache for the user but local user profiles are scrapped on the
machines here when the student logs off.
Any help or pointers are greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
Radar.

I've reviewed screenshot from you initial post on Answer forum.
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-office_install/office-2013-incorrect-icons-in-taskbar-when-apps/ef99ce77-1e88-44c5-8214-c6c69837a9ae
Since the icon shows fine in local but only incorrect through RDP session, I am thinking this might not be the promblem of Office application self. RDP session might not load the correct icon for Office duo to the file permission or wrong path.
Better to post your question to forum for Remote Desktop Services (Terminal Services)

Office 2013 - Is there a way to when installing that you can change the default save location without having to configure it within the client?

So, What I am trying to do is deploy Office 2013 throughout our company, and I do not want the users to save their business or personal files created within Office 2013 on the C: drive or Sky Drive. We have what is called the U: drive and I'd like to know
if there's a quick registry tweak that I can use to not only change the default location upon setting up a computer, but to deploy through Group Policy?
One other question perhaps; Is there a way to change not only the file location to default to only the one place, but also is there a way to also set a specific size limit to folders and prevent certain files from being saved (videos and personal pictures).
I have our network pretty tight as to what or who can go where, and what not, I am just really for an answer or some help to the default location...anything you have GREATLY APPRECIATED!

You can use the OCT and/or domain Group Policy, to customise the Office experience and settings for your users:

Office 2013 - OSD - Specify different config xml

Hi Guys
I want to deploy Office 2013 in different languages to different users. It seems there are a few ways to do this. But I am thinking I want to package all languages I need into one Office install package and then in the task sequence have groups for countries.
Each country has a variable to specify which config.xml to use. Is this possible or is there a better way?
(I just need to know how to point to the correct xml in the package, kind of like the unattend file) I know the rest if this is the way.
ie.
-France
---ConfigFR.xml
-Germany
---ConfigGe.xml
Sweden
---ConfigSE.xml
Thanks
NN

Hi
I know the original question has been answered, but I have a follow up question.
I am deploying Windows 8.1 Update using custom variables to install Windows language packs and Office Language packs dynamically based on rules. Running just one language works fine. But if I have a multiple language package deployed to Windows the
Office DTs do not pick this up (each DT is currently working of one language per DT and using operating system language to install the correct xml).
See here:
These are the DTs
After doing a bit more reading. I now know I need to setup the rules differently. Can I set the rules to be English and Swedish install DT1, and English and Romanian install DT 2, English alone install DT 3 etc?
I basically need an "AND" rule.
thanks again

Office 2013: where the heck are the security updates hiding?

I built a deployment for Office 2013 yesterday. The source files were downloaded from Microsoft, with SP1 integrated. This is *not* a "Click to Run" deployment. I used the Office Customization Tool to make a few changes (we're
not using OneDrive, so that piece isn't getting installed. I disabled the "First Run" and Customer Experience stuff, and disabled RSS Feeds and SharePoint integration. And I put in our volume license key. Overall it's a pretty vanilla
build.)
I wanted to include all available security updates since SP1 has been released, and stick them into the "Updates" folder of my deployment. So after I installed Office 2013 x64 on my Windows 7 x64 system (the base package that I built installs
just fine), I went to Windows Update to see what was available. There is nothing there. I rebooted, and tried again. Still nothing. If I go into one of the Office 2013 apps, and go to File -> Account, I do *not* have any "Update"
buttons or options.
If I go to Windows Update in my Control Panel, and click "Change Settings", I have two things checked. "Give me recommended updates the same way I receive important updates", and "Allow all users to install updates on this
computer." There are no other options to look for alternative Microsoft products, or at least no options that I can find. This is Windows 7 x64 SP1, fully patched.
I know that there have been security updates released for Office 2013 since SP1 came out in February 2014. I manually downloaded a security patch for Lync 2013, and installed that MSP onto this test system with no
issues. So there are applicable security updates out there. So why in the world can't I find the updates through the normal mechanisms? Ideally, we'd want for end users to be able to install security updates manually in an
emergency, but either I'm missing something, or that is not possible in Office 2013. Hopefully distributing Office 2013 updates through SCCM will work, but from what I'm seeing so far, I'm not sure the machines will be "detected" as having
Office 2013, because right now it can't even scan itself against Windows Update for that product.
Thanks for any input...I'm quite baffled at how the update routine is supposed to be functioning in Office 2013. I think the missing link is why I can't choose to search for "other" Microsoft products from the Windows Update panel.
The option/checkbox is totally gone.

Hi,
By default Windows Update only updates Windows itself. To get updates for Office and for any other Microsoft products as well, you will need to upgrade your Windows Update to Microsoft Update.
On Windows Update panel, click "Find out more" link to install Microsoft Update.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Office 2013 simply refuses to update templates

Hi All,
Was wondering if you could help as i'm really getting thin on ideas now.
I've been working with Azure RMS for a couple of weeks with no problem but all of a sudden I can't get Office 2013 to update the custom templates I've been creating on multiple devices.
I've created custom templates before that have refreshed in Office perfectly but new ones simply will not download. As far as I'm aware everything is set as it should be in terms of the template is published and my user account is within the scope
of users who can use the template.
I have installed the RMS sharing app on my Win 8.1 machine and when right clicking a file to complete an in place protect the most up to date templates are present but whilst working directly within Word or Excel etc the templates are out of date.
I've tried all sorts of combinations of deleting the templates folder in: %AppData%\Local\Microsoft\MSIPC\Templates and deleting the LastUpdateTime dword, signing out of office and signing in again but nothing I try seems to help.
Does anyone have any ideas of what I could try?
Thanks in advance!

While this feature (departmental templates) is in Preview, Office applications don't recognize these templates, by default. From
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn642472.aspx#BKMK_HowToConfigureCustomTemplates, see step 8 and the behavior you're seeing:
Not all applications can support departmental templates. To do so, the application must first authenticate with the RMS service before downloading the templates. If the authentication process does not occur, by default, none of the departmental templates
are downloaded.
There is a script that you can run (see the Note) for this to work with Office applications during the Preview period. We were hoping to get the script on the Download Center, but it's currently on the Connect site. If you have problems accessing it,

Office 2013 VL App-V 5 packages

Hi,
We are currently assessing the possibility of deploying Office 2013 as an App-V package since support for VL was announced with MDOP 2013 R2. I would like to create three independent packages:
Office 2013
Project 2013
Visio 2013.
I have successfully created the three App-V packages and they can all be imported an published independently. When I deploy more than one package to the same machine the existing package is un-published and the new package published. The aim is to
be able to deploy the Office App-V package to everyone and only deploy Visio and/or Project to certain users. Currently I can only achieve this by creating multiple App-V packages all including Office (i.e. Office + Visio, Office + Project and
Office + Visio + Project). Is there a supported way to have independent packages of Office, Visio and project 2013 which can co-exist on the same machine (for example, could I use connection groups between the independent packages?)
Thanks.

You should be aware of a few things:
Office App-V Packages must be published globally due to the OS extension points some of which won't work if published to users. See this article for more details: http://technet.microsoft.com/library/dn481351.aspx
Office, Visio and Project in separate packages may impact the user experience
Volume License editions of Office are licensed per device, so targeting users may place the organisation in breach of the licensing agreement

The Definitive Guide to Delivering Microsoft Office with App-V
Thanks for your answers guys. It does seem the only way to achieve this is to have a single App-V package and use multiple configuration files to determine which combination of applications are published. Far from ideal...

Office 2013 Std (local) in combination with Office 2013 Pro (App-V)

Hello,
I have multiple RDS servers, that have Office 2013 Std installed locally. I did this on purpose, after reading some blogs pointing out Office 2013 is a complicated applicatie to stream well. And of course Office 2013 is highly critical to my clients.
So I have a local installation of Office 2013 Std on every RDS server.
The catch is, that the client also has an open license for Office 2013 Pro. This is because some users need to work with 'Access 2013'.
So I thought it would be nice to use App-V to stream Access 2013 to the RDS servers. I have created the package for Office 2013 Pro, with Access in it. And I succesfully published Access 2013 to the group of users. So I can use Access on the RDS servers.
The problem is, that when I click on the appliation "MSACCESS.exe", the application pops up in taskmanager and is immidiatly shut down again. So it never launches. No error, no nothing.
I can't find any directions in the server, applicatie or App-V logs in the eventviewer. Does anyone have a clue where to look?
Thanks in advance

I think to be on a safe side, using a 'true' control system like AppSense or using dedicated RDS servers would be the only legally valid option.
Even when Office (or at least Access) is virtualized, the licensing part and product key handling is done natively on the RDS servers by the 'Office 2013 Deployment Kit'. Besides others this includes a locally installed 'licensing stump'. Therefor there
can be only one Office Suite product key be assigned to a RDS server machine.
In fact you could tell the Deployment Kit to use the Office Pro key (allowing a virtualized Access to run), but then also the locally installed Office Version would (attempt to ) be licensed as 'Pro'. That potentially won't work. In fact you could re-configure
the local Standard Office installation to consume Pro licenses, but that doesn't fit to your legal licenses.
As Aaron write, legally an Office license is bound to the endpoint device, so you'd have to make sure that your Access App-V package can only be access by permitted client machines. And while App-V can filter application on the accessing user and the executing
machine, it can't filter on the accessing end-point.
Though we don't like it... 3rd party or a server silo seem the way to go.

Office 2013 Click-to-Run

All,
We are having issues with some customers that have the Office 2013 Home and Business Click-to-Run version of office installed. Users are randomly having their installation corrupted. This interestingly enough didn't start happening until SP1 was released
for Office 2013. I am aware that click-to-run installations of office don't update via Windows Updates direct but through another method. Is anyone else seeing this happen? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Some of the symptoms are as follows:
1. None of the Office apps open. You double-click but nothing happens nor are there any processes running.
2. If you open an office document direct you might get a message something to the effect of There was a Problem sending the command to the program. None of the documented fixes appear to correct the issue for this type of error.
3. A system restore point fixes it but it breaks again within a day or two.
4. The only fix at this point is to uninstall (Using FixIt KB2739501) and reinstall which of course pulls down the latest build with SP1.

Hi,
You can probably fix the issue by updating the video driver to the latest.
Please refer to this thread below, many users had the same issue and solved it by updating the video driver:
