Office 2013 upgrade so that users keep individual properties

How do I set up an Office 2013 upgrade msi so that the individual user can keep their current properties? The msi will be sitting in a Skydrive account.
I need to upgrade about 25 remote users to Office 2013. These users are in different locations, mixture if window 7 and 8 machines. All machines are currently running Office 2010.
We are VL holders so I can create a msi file but after running two test upgrades most of the individual user properties (default templates, outlook settings) are not being kept. It looks like a new install.
Any help is appreciated.

I would recommend using USMT 5 for Office 2013.

Before that, we need this hotfix:

Office 2013 Upgrade - Retain Recently Opened Documents/WorkBooks from Office 2010

Hello,
In our Windows 7 environment, we are planning to upgrade our users from Office Professional Plus 2010 to Office Professional Plus 2013 via SCCM 2012 R2. One of the user requirements is that we are to retain their recently opened files/documents
so that the history will still be shown even after they have upgraded over to Office 2013.
From what I have researched, it may be possible to do this if we copy some of the user's registry keys from Office 2010 and export them to the Office 2013. However, I have not tried it and wanted to see what thoughts you guys may have on this.
Has anyone run into this situation? Any advice on this? Thanks.

Hi Jimmy,
Did you get any error message when you try to open an Excel file/Word document?
If so, you can post the error message and event log here.Also ,if you had antivirus software installed, try to disable them to test this issue.
In addition, what happens if you add the network server location as a trusted location?

App-V 5 SP2 and Office 2013 - How to control user access?

What is the best way to control access to the Office 2013 application shortcuts?
Because it must be published globally, how can we only allow certain users to access Office 2013 on RDS servers when the default action would mean all users can access it?
Can removing the shortcuts using the DeploymentConfig file (see
here) followed by setting up something using the UserConfig file linked to an AD group work?
If so how would this be done?

Not Read Receipts Since Office 2013 Upgrade

Hi,
We have just upgrade to Office 2013, form Office 2007. and we appear to be having some issues with Read Receipts, if we ask for a read receipt on a mail, as soon as the mail is sent we receive a not read receipt as shown below.
"Your message
To: Ian Hart
Subject: RE: Consignment No.
Sent: 24/04/2015 12:01
was deleted without being read on 24/04/2015 12:01."
I know that the mail are being received as I have sent a test mail from my work outlook 2013, to my own outlook.com and it was received fine although I did receive a not Read receipt on my work outlook.
if we resend a message with read receipts we do not get a not read receipt, could any one make any suggestions
1.) Mail Accounts are Microsoft Exchange
I have looked into this further and the issue seams to be with the Read Receipts.
I have sent an email with a Delivery Receipt and that delivers fine and I get a Receipt
I have sent a mail with only a read receipt and I get a not read receipt as shown in the post.
In not sure if the error is accruing because we are sending to email accounts/ exchanges that have had the read receipt function disabled or if it is a problem full stop.
Best Regards
Mark

Hi Mark,
A read receipt informs you that your message has been opened. However, do not rely solely on these receipts. In Microsoft Outlook, the message recipient has the option to decline to send read receipts. There are other scenarios where read receipts are not
sent, including if the recipient's e-mail program does not support read receipts.
I recommend you refer to the following article to troubleshoot the issue:
Track email with read receipts

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.

Thank-you,

Hi Gwen,
In order to assist you, we will need the .DMP files to analyze what exactly occurred at the time of the crash, etc.
If you don't know where .DMP files are located, here's how to get to them:
1. Navigate to the %systemroot%\Minidump folder.
2. Copy any and all DMP files in the Minidump folder to your Desktop and then zip up these files.
3. Upload the zip containing the .DMP files to Onedrive or a hosting site of your choice and paste in your reply. Prefered sites: Onedrive, Mediafire, Dropbox, etc. Nothing with wait-timers.
4 (optional): The type of .DMP files located in the Minidump folder are known as Small Memory Dumps. In %systemroot% there will be what is known as a Kernel-Dump (if your system is set to generate). It is labeled MEMORY.DMP. The difference
between Small Memory Dumps and Kernel-Dumps in the simplest definition is a Kernel-Dump contains
much more information at the time of the crash, therefore allowing further debugging of your issue. If your upload speed permits it, and you aren't going against any strict bandwidth and/or usage caps, etc, the Kernel-Dump is the best
choice. Do note that Kernel-Dumps are much larger in size due to containing much more info, which is why I mentioned upload speed, etc.
If you are going to use Onedrive but don't know how to upload to it, please visit the following:
Upload photos and files to Onedrive.
Please note that any "cleaner" programs such as TuneUp Utilities, CCleaner, etc, by default will delete .DMP files upon use.
If your computer is not generating .DMP files, please do the following:
1. Start > type %systemroot% which should show the Windows folder, click on it. Once inside that folder, ensure there is a Minidump folder created. If not, CTRL-SHIFT-N to make a New Folder and name it Minidump.
2. Windows key + Pause key. This should bring up System. Click Advanced System Settings on the left > Advanced > Performance > Settings > Advanced > Ensure there's a check-mark for 'Automatically manage paging file size for all
drives'.
3. Windows key + Pause key. This should bring up System. Click Advanced System Settings on the left > Advanced > Startup and Recovery > Settings > System Failure > ensure there is a check mark next to 'Write an event to the system
log'.
Ensure Small Memory Dump is selected and ensure the path is %systemroot%\Minidump.
4. Double check that the WERS is ENABLED:
Start > Search > type services.msc > Under the name tab, find Windows Error Reporting Service > If the status of the service is not Started then right click it and select Start. Also ensure that under Startup Type it is set to Automatic rather than
Manual. You can do this by right clicking it, selecting properties, and under General selecting startup type to 'Automatic', and then click Apply.
If you cannot get into normal mode to do any of this, please do this via Safe Mode.
Regards,
Patrick

Upgraded to Office 2013

I have the BB Z10 and love it. I upgraded my computer to Office 2013 and like another user with the BB9310 am having problems trying ot get the device to sync. According to the response to that forum post was Office 2013 is not support. This is a problem because I cannot downgrade to Office 2010.

Hello,
Unfortunately, a compatibility requirement is not one that can be overcome unless and until the software(s) is/are made compatible. Refer:
http://docs.blackberry.com/en/smartphone_users/deliverables/60798/tom1359418099212.jsp
If you have the adequate version of Link, it is indeed compatible with OL2013. But, if you have a prior version of LINK, then you need to get the more recent so that it is compatible.
Good luck!

Upgrade Office 2010 to Office 2013 Pro Plus

Have a possible to upgrade from Office 2010 to Office 2013 without lose the user information (.PST for example) using SCCM 2012?
Atenciosamente Julio Araujo

That really has nothing to do with ConfigMgr. All ConfigMgr does is run the command line that you give it. What that command-line does is up to that command-line. To my knowledge and IME, running Office setup in-place to upgrade Office always preserves
all user data though without any additional configuration.

App-V 5 SP2 and publishing Office 2013 to users on RDS

Hello
I have a problem with App-V 5 on RDS Servers.
My scenario is like this, I have Office 2013 published Globally to over 20 RDS servers and I'm using App-Locker and groups to control access to the Office 2013 package.
Now when I add a new user to the office 2013 group he doesn't get the Office package published to him because the packages is in use and will be try'd at a later time. Witch means computer restart but I also have network loadbalance and session broker so the
user isn't always logging to the same server.
Has anyone had this problem or know how I can publish the Office 2013 package to the user's without restarting.
Best Regards Kristjan R. Halldorsson

Hello,
I am truely confused by how you are attempting to achieve things.
1. The Office 2013 package is only supported if deployed globally
2. AppLocker is the way to restrict users from starting different applications
3. Office 2013 is not supported to be published to users
It seems you have issues with #3. Which is not supported. I am not saying it "doesn't" work, but considering you have issues with it - perhaps we can start by not doing it?
Ok, so what do we have left;
Per your statement, Office 2013 is published globally. Ergo, all shortcuts and applications should be available to all users.
Is this true?

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
FFPackageLocker file
Press Windows, type regedit and hit enter to open the Registry editor
Delete the following Registry keys.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\15.0\ClickToRun
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\AppVISV
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Microsoft Office 15 - ProfessionalRetail - en-us
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 View, then Choose Details

Office 2013 for mac.

Hi Apple people.
I just wanna know that if u have something idea about "Office 2013" for mac.
U know what i mean, the office 2013 that is not the subscription one.
I dont wanna use the office 365 because its no sense at all. I want the whole software which i can use whenever i want until i want to uninstall i
Are'nt the Microsoft will build a Office 2013 for mac?
I hope they will make so.
Or maybe i should just buy the Microsoft Office 2011 for mac instead incase of there will be no office 2013.
I'm new to mac world, i havnt install any office software yet. I was looking at the office 2011 but i said there will be a 2013 version,
but i get disappointed to know that there are no office 2013 for mac.

While only Microsoft knows its plans for Office for Mac, it's clear that Microsoft is pushing users to a subscription base rather than, as you put it, "software which i can use whenever i want until i want to uninstall i," which happens to be what I prefer, too. Yesterday, I installed the free Office 2013 upgrade after having recently purchased (the 3 user pack) and installed Office 2010 on a Windows Virtual Machine. First, you get one 2013 license whether you bought the 1 or 3 user Office 2010 install, whereas the Office 365 upgrade choice (you could pick either with the Office 2010 purchase) gets you five installations, at least for one year. Second, I believe you can move those 365 installations around, while with the computer based install, you can't deactivate it on one machine and reuse the license on another, at least not without dealing directly with Microsoft. Third, the subscription system is supposed to get you any full upgrades (e.g., 2013 to 2015), while the disk based 2013 is it; you'll have to buy 2015 fresh, if there even is such a thing by then. So you can see the push is towards subscriptions by making them a much better deal, at least price-wise.
On the other hand, I was surprised to find that the 2013 installation didn't delete the 2010 installation. And in comparing the two, the 2010 interface is more pleasant to work with, and if you don't need or trust the Cloud, the big new feature in 2013 is the ability to open and edit pdf files. Some quick tests of that suggest that on simple pdf's, the feature works pretty well, but add a bunch of graphics and/or complex text flow, and it's the difference between uncooked and cooked spaghetti.
Finally, there are free office clones available, such as LibreOffice http://www.libreoffice.org/download or OpenOffice http://www.openoffice.org/download/other.html which can get the job done, though they're not quite MS Office.

Retail editions of Office can't be used on RDS/TS - only Volume Licensing editions can be used.
Recently, Office365ProPlus was updated to provide "Shared Computer Activation", but this doesn't apply to Retail editions such as H&B.

I have to deploy Office 2013 to our French users, English
users and Italian users through SCCM 2012; they should have Office 2013 installed with same OS language.
I already know how to do it on SCCM 2012, but I'd like to ask for your opinion.
Solution 1
I could have one folder for each Office 2013 language/platform:
Office2013-FR-x86
Office2013-FR-x64
Office2013-EN-x86
Office2013-EN-x64
Office2013-IT-x86
Office2013-IT-x64
On SCCM 2012 I should create 6 Application Deployments.
Having six folders and six Applications will increase management, but client will download needed content only (used language).
Solution 2
I could have one folder for each Office 2013 platform:
Office2013-x86 - Contains x86 version of Office 2013 in French, English, Italian (Multilanguage)
Office2013-x64 - Contains x64 version of Office 2013 in French, English, Italian (Multilanguage)
On SCCM 2012 I should create 2 Application Deployments.
Having two folders and two Applications only will be helpful for management, but client will download unneeded content for installation (unused languages).
I hope to be clear.
So, what is your opinion ?
Thank you,
Luca

Hello Peter,
thank you for your answer. Consider there is only one central support department who manages Application Deployments and SCCM in general. That said, I can imagine what you are referring to with "...depends on...if there is a local support department.":
each local support department can manage its Office 2013 App. Deployment, so it is useful to have them splitted (Solution 1); isn't it ? With "...depends on...same type of device type..." what are your referring to ? They are all Desktop
Computers with mixed OS: Windows 8, 7, XP.
Solution 1 could be useful if, for example, I need to install Office 2013 English version on Italian OS (Solution 2 is not a good choice: Office 2013 will be installed in the same OS language).
Like you, I prefer Solution 2 too, it will simplify management, helps to save disk space (applications repository); but I also need to consider: choosing it, SCCM Clients have to download much more data even if they don't need.
Bye,
Luca

Mail x64 Control Panel Broken, Can't Install Office 2013 SP1 to Fix It - HELP NEEDED

I have the dreaded broken Mail x64 Control Panel that doesn't work after installing Office 2013 Home and Business on a Windows 8.1 Pro computer. This was a fresh installation, yet Microsoft still has an ancient disk image on their Office.com website
for download. The version is 15.0.4433.1507. It's from 2012! I don't understand the purpose of having people download something if you are not even going to keep it up to date, and have them download programs which you know are broken.
Strike 1.
Another thread said to update Office 2013. Easier said than done. Windows Update won't do it, even if Windows Update is manually told to search for updates. Strike 2.
Another thread said to disable updates inside an office program (File, Account, Update Options). Then Enable it, and updating should start immediately. Nope. Strike 3.
Same thread said if the above didn't work, to go to Uninstall Programs, and run a Repair of Office 2013. Did that, and then it wanted the Product Key again. Gave it the product key, it put a green check mark next to it signifying it was good,
and then when I clicked next, it said it couldn't activate it. I clicked the Repair button, and the program closed. Strike 4.
I uninstalled, and reinstalled Office 2013. I downloaded the Office 2013 Service Pack 1 x64, and ran it. It gives the error message "There are no products affected by this package installed on the system". How could that be?
Article ID 2850036 says specifically that it applies to "Microsoft Office Home and Business 2013". Since when can't you install Service Packs? Strike 5.
Anyone have any ideas?
Michael

Hi Michael,
The issue may occur if the registry entries are corrupted or missing. Usually, repair the Office suite from control panel can fix the issue.
For your case, I would suggest you to run Microsoft Fix It tool (or follow the
manual steps listed in follow article
) to uninstall Office 2013 completely from your computer, then do a re-installation and verify the result:

If you are able to login to
www.office.com/myaccount, then you can get the latest Office installation file there.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Please have a try and feel free to post back.
Thanks,
