"Program files" directory problem during Microsoft Office Customization Installer in non-English versions of Windows

We have a document-level customization solution for Word and are experiencing problems during deployment in an environment running on terminal services. The OS (Windows 2012) is English and Word (2013) is non-English (German).
Installation is done into the "Program Files" folder correctly. But when trying to start a word document linked to the specific template. The "Microsoft Office Customization Installer" pops up with the error.
"There was an error during installation"
From: file:///C:/Programme/[CompanyName]/[Productname]/[Productname].vsto
Downloading file:///c:/Programme/[CompanyName]/[Productname]/[Productname].vsto did not succeed.
Exception: ....
System.Deployment.Application.DeploymentDonwloadException: Download file:///C:/Programme/[Companyname]/Productname]/[Productname].vsto did not suceed. ---> System.Net.WebException: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Programme\[Companyname]\[Productname]\[Productname].vsto'.
---> System.Net.WebException: ...... ---> System.IO.DirectoyNotFoundException......
The problem seems to be that the installer is looking for C:\PROGRAMME instead of C:\PROGRAM FILES. C:\PROGAMME is the German localized name of PROGRAM FILES (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Program_Files).
The installer installs the solution correctly deployed into c:\program files, but when the later a user tries to start it and the Microsoft Office Customization Installer is called, it tries to access the non-existing "c:\programme" folder. This
doesn't exist, because Windows is English.
Is there any thing related to deploying solutions on a platform which has different languages (mixing/matching of OS language and Office language?)
Thank you for your help

Hello,
1. First, I would confirm with you whether you dealt with the localization for your document-level add-in?
2. Did you use this way to define the Create a class that defines the post-deployment action part of Put the document of a solution
onto the end user's computer (document-level customizations only) and did you get the path with Environment.SpecialFolder enum?
To handle this, I would recommend you consider using Environment.SpecialFolder to set that property.

Carl

How to silently install office add-ins and bypass the microsoft office customization installer popup

Hello all,
I want to install an office add-in for all the computers in my company silently. But when I use the commands "%~dp0\test.exe" /S. I receive the following popup.
Is there a way to bypass this to install the add-in silently?
Thank you very much for the help.

probably, this file was downloaded via Internet Explorer, from the IE "Internet" zone?
If so, the Alternate Data Stream, on the file, will have the Zone.Identifier populated.
If you right-click the file in Windows Explorer, do you get the "Unblock" button offered?
If so, click Unblock, and then try your script again.

Problem opening Microsoft Office & PDF Email attachments

Just got a Motorola Razr. Having a problem opening Microsoft Office (e.g. Work, Excel) and PDF Email attachments. Receive message "winmail.dat Unsupported file type". Can open jpg files. I have Quick Office, which is suppose to enable you to do this, but does not seem to make a difference. Wonder if it is an Android 2.3.5 issue. I used to have a Blackberry and this was not an issue. This is a showstopper for me and I will return the phone if I can't read Microsoft Office and PDF files attached to emails. My email server / client is Verizon.
I would appreciate any recommendations.

Hope this is one of those "better late than never" scenarios.
The problem sounded familiar, and it's one that's been around for a long, long time. I don't think it's a Razr problem, or a Droid problem, but it is about email clients. I've had similar issues with email on computers.
The problem starts with Outlook's RTF format. It saves the document's formatting info (bold, underline, etc.) and other info in the winmail.dat file, and some email clients simply can't decode it.
The sender can change the format of what they're sending, though, and I believe that the most recent versions of Outlook can change those format setttings on a person-by-person basis (don't want to start a rumor here because I could be wrong about that).
Just copy and paste the error message into Google (or your preferred search engine, and you'll see some info that might be helpful.

File or assembly name microsoft.office.interop.excel or one of its dependen

Hi Team,
When i click on the manage dimension members for a dimension i am getting the following error,
"file or assembly name microsoft.office.interop.excel or one of its dependencies was not found"
How i can resolve this?
Regards,
Raj,

Hi Raj,
What did you do exactly to resolve this issue? Are you no longer using Office 2007 or did you reinstall it? What are the specific steps you took?
I recently upgraded from SP02 to SP07 and now have the same problem. It was working fine prior to the upgrade.
Thanks,
Rob

Antivirus has quarantined files from firefox program files directory as malware

These 3 files have been quarantined as heuristic viruses or Trojans:
libegl.dll
nssdbm3.dll
webapprt-stub.exe
All 3 files are in the program files directory for firefox. After these files were quarantined and I tried to start FF I got error:
Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's file directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix this problem. If you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behavior when accessing security features.
Once I click OK it opens FF but it won't open the homepage. I want to be very sure these are actually FF program files and not some virus attempting to wreak havoc on my laptop. thanks.
unfortunately, I can't add any troubleshooting information as i'm in IE writing this up since I can't open FF.

This might have been false positives.

Problems with Microsoft Office

I really don't know where to post this as I can't find a Discussion forum for it, please re direct me if this is....
So I'm having a HUGE problem with Microsoft Office. I've had the Student addition, purchased it in a store, and have been using it since without any issues. Just yesterday, it told me I needed to download an update for it in the System Update. Well it downloaded without a problem, however during the installation it stalled and never completed. When I turned my computer back on, and did the System Update again, it said that my system was completely up to date. However, now the only too things in my Microsoft Office folder is PowerPoint and Excel. The other applications can not be located anywhere on my computer.
Now is there a way for me to fix this. I no longer have the CD with Microsoft Office on it because I'm constantly traveling. I'm extremely annoyed because I rely on Entourage for my emails, don't really like the Mail application. I just want to know what to do. Any suggestions?
Thank you.

When an installer 'stalls' during the installation, I'd guess you'd need to try reinstalling from the CD. I could be wrong though. Here is another forum that may help you if you don't get the answer here...

Problem with Microsoft office since new firefox installation

I have never had a problem with Microsoft Office --ever. I can have 4+ windows open at once. Since installation the latest version of Firefox many things have changed. The most troublesome is that I cannot open any office programs (word, excel, etc). They try to open and then give me an error message.

Victorymarketin, welcome to the forum.
Since they are both Microsoft programs, I suggest contacting MS Customer Service for help. They have always gotten me up and running in short order. This is always my solution when I have MS related problems. They if anyone can, will solve your problem.

Problems Installing Microsoft Office 2004 on 10.4.3!

Hi all,
A friend of mine just purchased 10.4.3 from the Apple Store for use with his G5 (the original single 1.8). My friend is not very skilled with computers, so I have been helping him get 10.4 running.
• We wrote zeros to his hard drive.
• We then did a fresh installation.
• We then ran software update.
• Apps like Photoshop Elements have installed without problems.
Microsoft Office 2004 (Student and Teacher) will not install using the installer or drag-and-drop.
• The installer finishes but the Office 2004 apps are not on the Hard Drive!
• Drag-and-Drop encounters an error (-36 I think) and stops installing.
Obviously, my friend is disappointed that Office will not install on a fresh OS - Please help!
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Hi all,
Templeton Peck may have been correct after all! I just got this message from Microsoft Support moments ago:
Thank you for requesting support for Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac. My name is Mike and I will be working with you to resolve this issue.
As I Understand you are Recieving an Error when installing Office 2004, which is not allowing you to Complete the installation.
With Error 36 There is only one thing to do, you will need to contact our Replacment Product Department for a new disc, you can contact them by calling 1-800-360-7561
Please let me know if this resolves your issue.
Thank you for using Microsoft Technical Support...
I guess I'll give a new disk a try -- I'll report back once I've tried that. :~)

How do I programmatically find Program Files directory?

Do I need to use the Windows Registry? If so, where is it in the registry?
I'm ultimately trying to find the Wordpad.exe file. I've been able to find where it's location is stored in the registry, but the location listed is relative to the Program Files directory. Thus, I must now find the Program Files directory, too.
Thanks in advance,
Derek

Attached is a VI WINDOWS-FIND-ABSOLUTE-APPLICATION-PATH.VI
Given an application name in the regsitry such as WORDPAD.EXE this VI is intended to read all the necessary information from a Windows machine registry and return an absolute path.
The VI specifically checks first to ensure that it is operating on a Windows platform before proceeding to read any registry keys. I don't work with other platforms a great deal, perhasps someone would care to 'fill in the blanks'. Entrys in the registry for an application registration are either absolute or relative (I believe they should normally be relative to the %ProgramFiles% registry entry to allow system restoration to an alternative location).
I did this because I wonderd why the question had been posed. There are a number of especilly interesting things happen with respect to WORD and the way associated files are dealt with. However I imagine a scenario like this. I am running a nice fat VI with lots of demands on system resources and I want to open up a viewer application for an RTF file I have generated. I don't want WORD to open the files as its a great FAT application and has currently taken over the association for RTF files (despite it not being the registered handler in the registry - that's another story). Thus I want a lightweight application to do the work. Hence this VI.
If this does the job please let us all know.Message Edited by Conseils on 04-16-2005 10:15 PM

Office requies a MS serial number, not your Apple ID. Are you attempting to install the Office 360 pay as you go version?

On my 2008 MacBook I am running 10.6.8 with Microsoft Office 10.1. Will this version of Office work if I upgrade to Mountain Lion?

On my 2008 MacBook I am running 10.6.8 with Microsoft Office 10.1. Will this version of Office work if I upgrade to Mountain Lion?

No! Even Office 2004 will not run under Lion and newer. You can check out http://www.libreoffice.org/ and iWorks applications to replace Office.
Check your applications for Mavericks compatibility here: http://roaringapps.com/
Note: a new version of Office for Mac is expected later this year or early next year. Buying Office 2011 now is buying old software. There will be no credits for older versions. The next version of Office will be subscription. This is the best option I know currently for subscription. This includes a free update to the new version when it's released.

Software Restriction Policy not allowing Program Files directory on 64-bit machines

I've created a new software restriction policy, my default security level is set to "Disallowed", I have the standard built-in allowed locations:
%HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SystemRoot%
%HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ProgramFilesDir%
and I added another exemption for the C:\Program Files (x86) directory:
%HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ProgramFilesDir (x86)%
However, on my 64-bit machines, there are still programs being blocked in C:\Program Files:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\ClientX64\OfficeC2RClient.exe
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\Root\Office15\MsoSync.exe
These same programs are not being blocked on my 32-bit machines, but the same policy is being applied to both and the programs are installed in the same locations on both.
I checked the registry on one of the 64-bit machines, and the default registry key exemption specified above:
%HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ProgramFilesDir%
does exist on the 64-bit machine and it is set to C:\Program Files, exactly like the 32-bit machines. So why are programs still being blocked here?
Shaun

Hi Shaun,
>>on my 64-bit machines, there are still programs being blocked in C:\Program Files:
Before going further, are all the applications under the path not able to run or just some ones? Besides, when we run the applications mentioned above, did it tip that it's blocked by group policy? Here, we can run command
gpresult/h gpreport.html with administrative privileges to collect group policy result report to check if this is caused by some other GPOs.

Problems with Microsoft office after system problems with 10.3.9

I had some problems with my G5, it lost the memory for the dock etc but I have been able to fix that but now none of the programs in the Office package are working and there is also problems with Illustrator CS2 they all crash at startup, I have tried to re-install the programs but the problem is still there. Knowing how Os 9 and earlier worked I know that it was possible to trash the prefs file for the program and it would usually solve the problem. Is there something similar I can do here without loosing my mails in entourage etc.?

Have you tried repairing permissions? Go to macupdate.com and download a free program called Onyx. Run the automate tab options.
I would also download and run the 10.3.9 combo updater from Apple. That tends to fix things as well.
