Office 2013 with Visio and Project Error - Package manifest is invalid
In July I successfully created an App-V install of Office 2013 VL using the ODT. This week I decided to try just doing Visio as we don't install it or Project on all systems. I used my same customconfig.xml and just changed the ProPlusVolume to VisioProVolume
and changed the source path. Everything downloaded and packaged fine. I was able to import into SCCM just fine and create a deployment to my test collection. However when I run the install out of Software Center I get (as part of a much longer error) the message
in AppEnforce.log that the package manifest is invalid. Thinking that maybe I had to include Office as long with Visio I tried packaing all three items but still get the same error. Has anyone else seen this behavior and/or ideas how to fix it? Can I sequence
just Visio or just Project? I'm including my config.xml just in case I've got something wrong with it that I haven't caught. Thanks

Hy. I'm having the same problema.
I'm trying to create na app-v package (v.5 SP2) of Office 2013.
I downloaded the Office Deployment Tool for Click-to-Run from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36778
I installed it into C:\Office2013pck shared that folder as
\\APPVMANAGER\Office2013 and mapped as Z:\.
I changed the configuration.xml file to:
<Configuration>
<Add OfficeClientEdition="32" >
<Product ID="ProPlusVolume">
<Language ID="en-us" />
</Product>
<Product ID="VisioProVolume">
<Language ID="en-us" />
</Product>
</Add>
</Configuration>
Then I ran in na elevated cmd:
>Z:
>\\APPV-CL-WIN7DEF\Office2013\setup.exe /download
\\APPV-CL-WIN7DEF\Office2013\configuration.xml
and
>\\APPV-CL-WIN7DEF\Office2013\setup.exe /packager
\\APPV-CL-WIN7DEF\Office2013\configuration.xml
\\APPV-CL-WIN7DEF\Office2013\Appv
Everything seemed to work fine.
The creted folder had Office\Data\15.0.4649.1001 folder (I guessed this is a version number)
When I tried to add the package to App-V Server (in the Console) I get the following error:
An unexpected error occurred while retrieving AppV package manifest. Windows error code: 1465 - Windows was unable to parse the requested XML data.
I tryied to publish it from powershell, getting the same error message agalluci image post shows.
From the Event Log I got this additional information:
There was a problem retrieving the requested package \\APPVMANAGER\AppVpck\Office\VisioProVolume_ProPlusVolume_en-us_x86.appv for import. Error message: Unspecified error
Element '{http://schemas.microsoft.com/appv/2010/manifest}UsedKnownFolders' is unexpected according to content model of parent element '{http://schemas.microsoft.com/appx/2010/manifest}Package'.
I haven't found any indication of which file is the manifest app-v file.
I also haven't found any .xml with the "UsedKnownFolders" tag (I changed the .appv package extension to .zip and explored some of the files).
I tryied creating a package for 32 and 64 bits, only office, office and visio, and office visio and project running Windos 7 and Windows 2012.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Need to deploy both Visio and Project 2010 by GPO
I'm looking for a way to deploy Visio and Project 2010 to selected users without SCCM.
I tried a logon script based on the one Microsoft posted as a sample in Technet and it worked for some users, but is unreliable. When the users need both Visio and Project, it would error out because it says 2 setup files can't run at the same time.
So, I set a GPO for logon scripts to run synchronously and it worked for some users, but others would get a black screen at logon that would hang forever. Seems to me this is UAC interference with no UAC prompt being popped up. When the script
was disabled, they could log on normally.
I thought of startup scripts, but that does not show the user that the software is installing, so they think their computer is stuck booting.
What are solutions?This is the login script I'm using for Visio 2010. I just substitute the work Visio for Project to make a login script for Visio.
It works but the part where it is supposed to recognize that the product is already installed and not install again doesn't work. can you see an error or other reason why?

How to Install Visual Studio 2010 on a PC with Microsoft Office 2013 with 64 bits
I am with problems to have acess to the link: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=12187
Why?
I want do install Visual Studio 2010 on a PC with Microsoft Office 2013 with 64 bits. How can I do it?
Thanks.Hello Carla Sofia,
Visual Studio installation do not depends on Microsoft Office 2013. They do not have relationship here. I think your problem is that you cannot find the link to install Visual Studio 2010.
In order to know why, please see here:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/search/default.aspx?sort=PN&alpha=Visual%20Studio%202010&Filter=FilterNO
The mainstream support for Visual Studio 2010 is already expired and that is why you cannot open any link about Visual Studio 2010 Setup.(I cannot verify whether that link is about VS2010 Setup.)
I think you need to think about the following:
1. If you need Visual Studio 2010, you may have to consider some other channels. For example, official site you can try use MSDN Subscription. For non-official site. Sorry I cannot provide any place for you
2. You can use other latest version of Visual Studio, for example, we have Visual Studio 2012, 2013, 2015 for you to use. You can also use Visual Studio Express 2010 version. It is still available for download.

Viso only runs under Windows, so you'd first have to install Windows, either using Boot Camp or a virtual machine, then purchase Viso. Or, you can purchase this to deal with Viso files:

Itunes was working fine. Tried to install latest upgrade and get error message about an invalid character in the path "Program Files (x86)". PC, Win7, nothing else appears to be having same issue. Program still works, simply cannor upgrade.
Thanks b noir,
I tried this solution without success. After FixIt ran and didn't find a problem, either in looking for issues with "software upgrade" or "iTunes" it kindly offered to help me uninstall iTunes. I had thought of this as a possibilty but it seems to me that if you do that you lose a lot of "non-native-to-Apple" information you might have entered. I did this once and recovery was painfull. Is there a way to uninstall iTunes without losing all of that sort of thing? Any help would be appreciated. -
Office 365 Midsize Business and Project 2013 Standard (Retail)
Hi,
Can someone explain to me how to install Project Standard 2013 (retail version) alongside Office 365 Midsize Business.
I either get installation errors - "Something went wrong......" or activation errors whereby the activation code seems to be accepted (green tick) but I am then asked to link it to an email account which won't work as it is a retail version.Hi,
"Office 365" refers to subscription plans that include access to Office applications plus other productivity services that are enabled over the Internet (cloud services), such as Lync web conferencing and Exchange Online hosted email for business,
and additional online storage with OneDrive and Skype world minutes for home.
You can refer to this FAQ link below, find more in the section "What is Office 365? How is it different from Microsoft Office":

Visio and Project 2013 silent install returns immediately (before install is finished)
Hi,
I am building a task sequence that will include Office 2010 ProPlus (volume license), a bunch of other products (like SQL Server and Visual Studio) and also Visio 2013 and Project 2013.
For Visio 2013 and Project 2013, I have to use the retail media (this is for use in academic computer labs and we have a single retail key through DreamSpark Premium that allows unlimited activations - I don't know why DreamSpark doesn't just give a volume
license key).
I managed to get Visio 2013 and Project 2013 to install silently by modifying the config.xml file and using the /config parameter. However, when running my install script (the usual VBScript wrapper) or just from the command line, the command returns before
setup finishes (literally within less than a second). Setup continues to run and finishes successfully, but as you can imagine, MDT considers that application install finished and tries to move on to the next application which fails because another installation
is still in progress.
I've included below the relevant portion of the VBScript wrapper. Any help in figuring out how to get the wrapper to wait for the installer to finish is appreciated.
sSetupFile = oUtility.ScriptDir & "\Source\setup.exe"
sArguments = "/config vispror.ww\config.xml"
oLogging.CreateEntry oUtility.ScriptName & ": Starting installation", LogTypeInfo
// Check for existence of setup file omitted
iRetVal = oUtility.RunWithHeartbeat("""" & sSetupFile & """ " & sArguments)
Coincidentally, iRetVal = 0 indicating success.
Thanks,
SAHi SA,
Obviously you use the VBS wrapper for some reason. To my understanding this behaviour needs to be captured and translated to "script is till busy, when installation completes script is finished, proceed to next step".
I can only advise you to either try the command line directly in MDT, instead of using the VBS wrapper, and/or try to create an MSP and try this in your VBS wrapper, command line directly in MDT.
MSP files are easily created by going into command prompt to the sources folder of Visio / Project and execute the following command: setup.exe /admin this will start the Office Customization Tool which enables you to create an MSP file.
When you are ready, execute the following command to install the application with the settings in the MSP: setup.exe /adminfile custom.msp
Again I can imagine the purpose of the VBS just as I can imagine the purpose of using the config.xml above a custom.msp. But for starters this should get you going to try to find an resolve where the issue lies. In the VBS or somewhere else.
Cheers!

Office 2013 with Service Pack 1 installation error about "search path"
I have an automated installation technique that has worked fine with Office 2010 Pro Plus (32-bit), incorporating the latest Service Pack into the network administrative installation point (under \updates), adding 10 foreign languages to the network administrative
installation point, creating a custom .msp with the OCT (that goes into \updates too), editing the config.xml files, and then running setup.exe from that network administrative installation point. This works on 32-bit Windows XP clients and on 32- and 64-bit
Windows 7 clients.
For Office 2013 Pro Plus, I have built the network administrative installation point exactly the same way (original DVD files + languages + SP1 updates + config.xml updates), but the installation is failing with every type of client, all with
the same error message. The network administrative installation point is readable by the normal installing account, but I even get the same error when I login as me and initiate setup.exe manually, and I have all rights to this point.
Here's the critical point from a log file:

I cannot find any references to this exact error anywhere on the Internet. Can anyone tell me what this means, and how I fix it?As automated, the utility that runs setup.exe maps a drive letter to
\\archive.ads.college.edu\archive\KBOXalt using a kboxmap AD account, which has read access to the whole \KBOXalt tree. I used that same kboxmap AD account manually to simulate what the utility does, and hit the same problem. But here's what's
odd: right next to that
\\archive.ads.college.edu\archive\KBOXalt\Office2013 directory is an
\\archive.ads.college.edu\archive\KBOXalt\Office2010 directory, both created the same way, and the Office 2010 installation has always worked perfectly using the kboxmap AD account. I don't understand why Office 2013 is only working for an account with
read/write access, where Office 2010 worked fine for an account with only read access. Especially when the Office 2013 resource kit documentation clearly states that the account running the installation should only have read access, nothing more. (All this
KBOX stuff comes from the fact that our deployment environment is a Dell KACE KBOX 1000. However, that plays no part in the problem: ignoring the KBOX 1000, I can manually recreate the problem every time.) -
App-V Office 2013 MLCFG32.cpl and Search indexing
Hi there,
I used the ODT to make an app-v package of office 2013. However when I try to load the mlcfg32.cpl it displays the following error:
The operating system is not presently configured to run this application.
I start the cpl from the following location:
C:\ProgramData\App-V\D24C3BDD-8FAD-44D3-998C-933F8F053682\764C2E31-0B14-4E44-818A-2836992E7EA6\Root\Office15
Also the search indexing isn't working in Outlook 2013, whenever I try to load the indexing status it keeps on loading with no result. I wanted to remove the profile from Outlook 2013, but with no mlcfg32.cpl it's very hard.
I also tried a repair of the application with no result.
Why is there so little information on packaging office 2013 in combination with App-v from Microsoft?Well the package should be published globally, in the policy the global refresh is enabled. However when I look at the settings of the application I see the following:

Office 2012 with Config manager as a package
Hi ,
i am installing office 2013 as a package (program) and using setup.exe /adminfile as a command line. Unfortunately setup fails with an error as below. I have .msp file which i have copied to updates folder.
How do i make installtion silent for office 2013 through command line switch with setup.exe /adminfile ....?
Any pointer would be appreciated. Thanks
Regards,Hi ,
I have .msp file which i have copied to updates folder.
"When you store a customization file in this folder, you do not have to specify the file on the command line. Setup automatically finds the customization file that matches the product that is being installed and applies the file during the installation."
More reference:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc178956(v=office.15).aspx#BKMK_adminfile
So try to run it again without /adminfile switch, and see if it works.
If the installation still fails, please briefly introduce your installation environment, then we shall take a further look.
