Office 2013 - Win8, check registry if installed

I had raised this question
over here, and was redirected to
here, where I was redirected to this forum :)
Here is the issue i am facing.
I am trying to detect if office is installed through registry. (Basically a registry check before installing our office add-in)
I am able to search for Office 2007 and 2010, in both Win 7 and Win 8 using the below mentioned reg Keys.
32 bit app: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\InstallRoot" Path.
64 bit app: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\InstallRoot" Path.
But I am not able to check in Win8 with Office 2013. It looks like registry keys/values have been modified a bit here.
So How do i detect it here?

Yea, the "InstallRoot" doesn't exist anymore....they have seemed to change it to "FilePaths" but I wouldn't trust that. For my reg query I'd use below to distinguish if Office is installed and which version(notice the beginning {9115 or {9114 for Office15(2013)
or Office14(2010)):
2013 32bit:"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{91150000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}"
2013 64bit:"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{91150000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}"
2010 32bit:"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{91140000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}"
2010 64bit:"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{91140000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}"
You never know when someone might uninstall Office and it might leave over junk registry files.....by pulling the registry keys directly from Add/Remove Programs (Programs and Features) you can ensure the program is either there or not.
Be kind and Mark as Answer if I helped.
I don't think this helps. On my system the uninstall keys are -
2013 32bit:"...\Uninstall\{90150000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}"
2010 32bit:"...\Uninstall\{90140000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}"
It starts with 901 on mine and 911 on yours.
I have Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 - 14.0.6029.1000
Which version of office do you have?

Office 2013 Pro Plus won't install - log file included

Hi,
I've freshly built a Windows 8.1 Pro laptop and attempted to install Office Pro Plus 2013. It bombs out at the end of the install, reverses the install and the GUI reports:
Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 encountered an error during setup

Hi David,
Are you installing Office 2013 with a CD or source files on your local drive?
The log above tells us that the failure occurred during the install of the ProPlusWW.msi. "1603" is a generic MSI error code, so doesn't help much here.
I noticed below part in your attached log:
"2015/02/06 15:36:55:270::[6108] MSI(INFO): '02/06/2015 15:36:55.254 [3892]: Assembly Install: Failing with hr=80070005 at RemoveDirectoryAndChildren, line 396"
The error code 0x80070005 is also described as ACCESS DENIED, so you might want check your permissions and make sure you are running as admin.
Also, if you are installing with a CD, then please try a flat installation (which means perform an installation from an image that has been copied to a hard drive rather than directly from CD media), and see if issue persists. This can help
with problematic software installations because performing a flat copy is much easier for the computer than the random access reads required during a normal installation.

Microsoft Office 2013 Professional Plus hangs on install

Hi,
Current OS is Windows 8.1 64Bit trying to install MSO 2013 professional Plus.
During installation it hangs around 50%-60%. CPU usage drops to 0%, Disk to 0% but memory stays at 14.8MB. I tired stopping the Print Spooler service, Used CCleaner, Used the Microsoft office removal tool, ended 4 out of the 5 processes running on the task
manager in regards to the installation program and yet it does nothing. I've spent hours on the internet looking for resolutions... and nothing helps.
If any one has any ideas please let me know.

Run an online repair of Office

Control Panel, and choose Programs and Features.
In the
Uninstall or change a program window, find and select the Microsoft Office product you're trying to install from the list.

Office 2013 Hebrew Language pack wont install

Hi,
I installed office 2013 (English) and am trying to install the Hebrew language pack.
The first time i did it, the installer started and then crashed. Now when i try to install the language pack it says" this program requires windows
7 or newer version" while i obviously have win 7 because i installed office 2013.
I run win7 & use x32 office version. What can i do?
Thanks,
Danny

Hi,
Since your Office is 32 bits, please first check which version of language pack you are trying to install, 32 or 64 bits.
Please install all patches to make your Windows up to date, then try the installation again. You might also try to download a new language pack file and try again.
If the issue presists, I would suggest to repair Office and check behavior, the first installation of this language pack might corrupt some files. Here is the steps on how to repair Office:

Cannot install Office 2013 during task seqeunce after installing R2

Hi,
Since we installed SCCM 2012 R2, I have not been able to install Office in my baseline captures using a task sequence (64-bit OS). Ronni Pederson suggested using an Application rather than a Package but in his example, the application is being pushed rather
than deployed during OSD. Either way, his solution doesn't work for me. Office 2013 does install on my Windows 7 SP1 32-bit capture without any errors (same package).
I saw another suggestion that recommended using a wrapper script in a package. When I tried this, I used Task Manager to verify that application was installing and I could see msiexec running. After about 10 minutes, SCCM seems to be waiting for feedback
from the application which never happens. The task sequence fails and I can see log messages stating that it's Waiting for job status. It repeats this message for about 20 minutes and then fails. The wrapper script seems to have the best results but still
doesn't install Office without errors. When I logged in as administrator, I could see that Office looks to be installed. I tried launching a few of the apps and they are working so I don't really understand why this installation doesn't work properly.
Prior to installing R2 on SCCM 2012, this was not a problem. I installed Office 2013 via my capture task sequences many times without any problems. The only thing I can find through research is to use an Application object or use a Package object with a
wrapper script. I couldn't find any other suggestions.
Does anybody have any other ideas?
Thanks,
Rob

Before I can name any ideas, I need to know what's going wrong. Did you follow all the log files? I would start by looking at the installation log files of Office (%windir%\Temp) and see if it's indeed ending successful. If it does then continue to the
ConfigMgr log files (App*.log for application, or exempt.log for package).

Bug? Mailto: in combination with Office 2013 Spell Checking.

Dear community,
For one of our sollutions we use the mailto protocol to send a hyperlink which users can use to automatically open a predefined new-email-window.
This works fine with Office Professional Plus 2010 [EN-US] (32bit) in combinatione with Microsoft Office Language Pack 2010 - Dutch/Nederlands (32bit).
However, Office Professional Plus 2013 [EN-US] (32bit), in combination with Microsoft Office Language Pack 2013 - Dutch/Nederlands (32bit), crashes whenever the spellingcheck is started.
The mailto-command we use to reproduce this problem is (enter command in Internet Explorer, open with Outlook):
mailto:[email protected]?subject=%20Actie%20vereist&body=%5b2103162%2f335159076094968874376260057075247208793%5d
During analyses we concluded:
- Office Configuration Analyzer Tool 1.2 (Full Scan) did not find any related issues.
- Spellchecker crashes while checking the text within the body.
- Uninstalling Microsoft Office Language Pack 2013 - Dutch/Nederlands solves the problem, but obviosly, we want to keep the Dutch spelling check functionality.
- Standard Englsh (U.S.) spellchecking functions without problems.
- This problem is reproducable on any computer running Office Professional Plus 2013 [EN-US] in combination with the Dutch (Nederlands) spelling check. Tried multiple hardware configurations (Intel based) and multiple OS's (Windows 7 Enterprise
(64bit), Windows 8.1 Enterprise (64bit), Windows 8.1 Pro (64bit). All with the same result.
Is there way to solve this issue, without loosing Outlook 2013 as client and Dutch Spelling Check capabilities?
Kind regards,
Leon Kandelaars.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your reaction.
Q - Do you mean Outlook crashes when we click the Spelling & Grammar button under Review tab?
A - Yeah, if you try to edit the mail and have 'check spelling as you type' activated, it wil crash as well.
Q - If we copy the email body and paste it to a new email message, will this issue continue?
Does this   issue happen with other Office 2013 programs? Please try to use 'spell check' in word and check if the same issue occurs.
A - If you copy the generated body to a new email or Word 2013, the spelling check will in both cases crash the application.
Q - In addition, we can also have a look at the event log to see if we can find anything useful.
A - The crash generates an "Application" "Hang error". I've generated 2 (1 with Outlook, 1 with Word):

Office 2013 Full or Lync Only install

I'm trying to install Office Professional Plus 2013 or Lync 2013 only with a custom install via this document ...
gallery.technet.microsoft.com/office/How-to-Deploying-Office-0f954e7f
and/or this document ...
prajwaldesai.com/how-to-deploy-microsoft-office-2013-using-sccm-2012-r2/
And it will only ever install 'Office 2013 Upload Center'.
I am brand new to SCCM and this is a brand new install so I will need guidance as to what logs to post. I have screenshots once my account is 'verified' I can post those if it will help.

Bootstrapper error when installing Office 2013

Trying to install Office 2013 on a PC that has Office 2010. We use the Pro Plus setup. Anyways, it's failing with the following messages:
I have tried quite a few different fixes that I have found but none seem to work. Any ideas how to get around this?
Thanks.

Hi,
I understand you need to install Office Professional Plus 2013, may I know why you still keep the Office 2010? What steps have you tried?
When installing Office 2013, please make sure no Office 2010 Application is running when installing Office 2013, also check the Task Manager that no Office 2010 application is running in the background.
One more thing, if you have Office 2010 32-bit, please also install Office 2013 32-bit; If the Office 2010 is 64-bit, Office 2013 also needs to be 64-bit.
To eliminate the influence by other programs, I suggest you perform a
clean boot, then install Office 2013.

Office 2013 Installer - Fails with No Errors

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

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

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

Can't Download Address Book in Office 2013

When I try to "Download Offline Address Book List" I get "! Task [my email address] reported error (0x80070057): 'Sorry, something went wrong. You may want to try again'"
It's not just me, all of our users that have Outlook 2013 installed get the error. If I recreate the profile then the latest copy of the address book is downloaded but no updates in the future are. I've seen a few similar issues in the forums
but none with answers that work.

Did you install/upgrade Outlook 2013 based on the MSI file?
Please try to locate the following registry key, take backup it and delete the following value.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Cached Mode\
Name: SpecifyOfflineAddressBookPath
Type: REG_EXPAND_SZ
Value:
Or
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Cached Mode
Name: SpecifyOfflineAddressBookPath
Type: REG_EXPAND_SZ
You may also find a test machine and do fresh install Office 2013 to check if the error code would still pop-up.
Feel free to post back.

2013 Excel docs open up to grey screen (Office 2013 Home and Business)

What I have tried:
-Opening in safe mode (using shift).......still shows grey blank screen.
-File>Options>Advanced> "Ignore all other applications using DDE" check marked......Still shows blank screen.
-Don't have the option to click "unhide" because every tool option is greyed out.
***When the 2013 excel doc opens up to the blank grey screen, ALL the menu tools and options are grayed out as well. I cannot click on anything besides File>New or Open or Account or Options.***
Please help me with my direct problem. I have been everywhere on the internet and no one has my particular problem that i have found. There are similar ones but those solutions i have already tried. (See Above)
Thanks

Hi,
First, try to repair Office 2013 to check the issue.
Second, try to reapply the registry patch:

Office 2013 Home and Business with WSUS

Hi,
My company acquired 50 licences of Office 2013 Home and Business a few months ago, and I've discovered the Click-2-run technology to keep O2013 up-to-date.
This morning, I've installed a new laptop as usual, including O2013 and our config to reach our WSUS server.
What surprises me is that, one hour later, Windows Update offers me to install 43 updates, all concerning O2013.
I'm pretty sure that no O2013 H&B update should come through WSUS, especially because of click-2-run.
Do you have any information about this specific case ?
Thank you for your help.

Hi,
Office 2013 C2R check the Office 365 service - http://officecdn.microsoft.com/ for new updates, not through Windows Update.
As I know that WSUS is only used to manage the distribution of updates that are released through Microsoft Update, so it should not prompt updates for your Office 2013 Home and Business installation.
Where did you get your Office installation source? Please first check if you have installed the correct version of Office, not a MSI based version.
Check if you have any other version of Office pre-installed in your OS, like a trial version or some components of other version of Office suite.
Here is a link to a list of all patches that are included in the most recent and past updates:

Office 2013 refuse to show rich Grammar options in just ONE language

The bottom line is that Office 2013 Professional Click to Run allows me to use full “Grammar” and “Grammar and Style” features on ALL languages but Portuguese.
I use both English and Portuguese. Word allows me to check lots of stuff in English, but it
only allows three things in Portuguese
(Capitalization, Punctuation, and Spacing) and do not display the “Grammar and Style” option.
I´ve tried to use Spanish and French and both show full options like in English.
I´ve tried almost everything I could think of, including uninstall everything, install the Office 2013 Professional in Spanish and install both Office LangPack2013_EN_x86 and OfficeLangPack2013_Brazilian_x86.
It did not work. I´ve also already upgraded to Windows 8.1.
One thing you must know is that, by mistake I´ve choose Portuguese to Windows 8 single language installation option. When I´ve realized this, I´ve reset to factory default and
choose English. I am wondering if this initial misstep did not left some language problem on the operational system level.

Hi JRBMendes.
I had the very same problem as reported by you. What I did was just place the Office 2013 CD in the DVD driver and click install. In the option field, click "Repair" or "Reparar" if you are using the Portuguese version. After finishing repairing, it will
ask you to reboot the system in order to complete the repair. Bingo. Worked just fine and you have style and grammar option back again.
Abraços,

App-V 5 Client + Office 2013 (Administrator OK, user Not OK)

Dear MS,
I've installed App-V environment onto our Windows 2008 RDS farm with your tech documents successfully.
Then I test it with a simple sequenced app (Mozilla Firefox and XML notepad) and it ran successfully.
I've also sequenced Office 2013 with ODT (Office Deployment Tool), no errors at the end.
But now the problems starts: when I log in as a normal user, then Office 2013 will show in Start menu, but disappears after a short time.
Logging in as Administrator doesn't have the issue, Office 2013 works perfectly.
The MS Office 2013 has been sequenced onto Win 2008 and 2012.
(yes, I know the 2012 sequencer is not ok for 2008 RDS, but the Firefox and Notepad were sequenced on Win 2012 and ran perfectly on Win 2008).
I did'n found related information on the technet forums.
What could it be? Kind of permissions on VFS? Where can I fix it? Or is the issue related to the sequencer?
ps. also tried installing MS hot fix 4 (and 5) for App-V 5 client, but the issues keep coming back.

What messages are in the App-V log in event viewer that might be applicable?
The message beneath viewed when an user log in. As an administrator, the event doesn't show up
Part or all packages publish failed.
published: 2 (Firevox and XML notepad)
failed: 1 (Office 2013)
Please check the error events of 'Configure/Publish Package' before this message for the details of the failure.
EventID 19104
Are you redirecting the Start Menu to the network?
Nope, the start menu shows only default applications when the user logs in.
The App-V Folder in Start Menu from Firefox and XML notepad are visible, but the office folder doesn't come up.
As an administrator, both Firefox, XML notepad AND Office folders are visible.
-but-
When I use Start Menu folder redirection, no one App-V application is visible (Event shows that Applications are loaded), how can I fix it here?
What are you using to manage user profiles?
I use AD User and Computer configuration to manage profiles
Does the application run if you browse to the EXE in Windows Explorer?
What does this to do with app-v? Because when you sequence the app, then is it no more EXE.
But, these EXE runs flawless in Windows Explorer (so there is no problem with the OS and the application).
Please help?
