Hi,
First of all to understand the problem better, can you please confirm the workflow manager is configured properly and working. If just try to create a simple workflow that writes to workflow history, does it work?
If workflow is configured properly, then please make sure you are not using system account to run/test the workflow as it's not supported. Also can you please check if you need to setup the permission as described in here:

Hi Rangnath,
For running SharePoint Designer 2013, you need to install Microsoft .NET 4.0 Framework or higher.
Please uninstall the Microsoft .NET 4.0 Framework, and install it again. After that, reboot your machine.

Sharepoint 2013: Workflow Error , while trying to publish a Sharepoint 2013 Workflow, from the Sharepoint Designer 2013

I don't know what might be wrong but I have tried everything possible I suppose.
Configuration: 1 App Server SharePoint Standard 2013 + SQL Server. On App Server, I have installed Workflow Manager as well.
Installed Sharepoint Designer 2013 on my laptop.
Before I was able to publish the workflows, but now it refuses, thwroing me the following error:
System.InvalidOperationException: Operation failed with error Microsoft.Workflow.Client.WorkflowCommunicationException: The request was aborted: The request was canceled. Client ActivityId : ac85cf9c-053a-e0db-1f47-608050559d31. ---> System.Net.WebException:

What I have tried so far:
a. Re-installed Workflow, Service Bus, Windows Fabric, Sharepoint Designer... no luck
b. Run the configuration script... -Force enabled... no luck
c. Remove WF Manager, SB, etc... Deleted all WF and sb Databases from SQL, and re-installed all icluding updates... no luck
d. Tried to run services using Farm account, still no luck.
e. All services on the Server are running as well
f. The workflow is checked that it is associated with the site collection.
I don't know what else to try... seems like I am experiencing unique issue here... please help!

One last thing I can suggest - In case if you have installed CU Update for WF manager 1.0 and service bus. Some time that creates problem, [Please take backup before make any changes] -
- Clear everything, WF config , SharePoint WF setting, un register WF from SP , You can delete and recreate WF service Apps
- IISreset at WF and SP server
- Uninstall CU update for Workflow manager 1.0 and Service Bus from WF server [Control Panel - Programs - Update], you can delete all update installed
- ReStart WF server
- Reconfigure WF manager , Test WF sites , should return XML
Get-WFFarm | ft HttpPort
- Reconfigure WF at SP , Make sure should have enough free memory
Register-SPWorkflowService –SPSite "http://SPsite/" –WorkflowHostUri "http://WFServer:12291" –AllowOAuthHttp
http or https , depend on your configuration
And retest from SPD again.
Good luck:)

Microsoft Sharepoint Designer 2013 encountered an error during setup

I'm trying to install SharePoint Designer 2013 on my system, but I keep getting this error with no other detail. Looking into the SetupExe log file that the event viewer pointed to didn't really identify anything that would point me
to the culprit (or at least nothing I could decipher). I am running Windows 7 (64 bit) and Office 2010 (32 bit). Anyone run into this before?

I am also trying to install SP Designer 2013 (32-bit) on my Windows 7 Pro 64-bit OS with MS Office 2010 32-bit and getting the same error about 30% into the install. I have attempted to uninstall other 3rd party programs and apps for example Citrix
and Skype and still no success. I tried booting up in safe mode and get the same error right at the onset of the install.
Update: Tried a "clean boot" install and that also failed.

SharePoint designer 2013 crashes most of the time, when opening sites. Error: The server could not complete the request.

Hi,
I have few sharepoint 2013 site's, which I am trying to open in sharepoint designer 2013.
After adding the site name in open site and clicking ok, the sharepoint designer crashes. At times the sites open, but 90% of the time, the sharepoint 2013 designer has crashed. I get the message "The server could not complete the request. For
more specific information, click on the Details button".
When clicking on "Details" button, there is a empty box. The error message never gets closed and have to kill the process.
I have tried doing "IISreset" multiple times, which has not helped.
Has anybody faced this issue? How to fix this?
Thanks

Hi Venkatzeus,
Firstly, I need to verify the followings:
1.Whether this issue occurred on a specify SharePoint 2013 site.
2.Whether you have extended the problematic site.
Make sure that your user is a site administrator. If you have extended the problematic site, please add it to AAM.
There are other probable causes for this issue:
1.Anonymous authentication is not configured for the problematic web application in IIS
Fix: Enable Anonymous authentication in IIS
2.Server is running out of memory
Fix: Free up memory on the server

Can't open SharePoint site in SharePoint Designer 2013 32Bit but can open Office 365.

Hello. I am running Windows 8.1 SharePoint Designer 2013 32Bit (15.0.4615.1000).
I am unable to open any sites from our SharePoint 2013 OnPremise farm. I can however open sites from our Office 365 environment.
I get the following error.
"An error occurred accessing your Microsoft SharePoint Foundation site files. Authors - if authoring against a Web server, please contact the Webmaster for this servers's Web site. WebMasters - please see the server's application event log
for more details."
I have looked in the event log but can't see anything relative.
I have cleared all caches, uninstalled and reinstalled and followed recommendations in this post.
http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/154/t/149314.aspx?PageIndex=2
My colleague with the same setup also has this issue but another doesn't and is able to access the site. I have a Windows 7 Hyper-V VM on my machine and this can open the OnPremise sites.
I really don't know what else to try short of rebuilding my machine which I would rather not do at the moment.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Switching from text view to visual view in SharePoint Designer 2013 crashes 100% of the time

Whenever I am in SharePoint Designer 2013 and try to switch a workflow from text view to visual view, SharePoint Designer crashes. Text workflows work fine. I have tried any of the solutions that I could find including:
- Removing KB2837633 and 2768006 (neither were installed)
- Installing SharePoint Designer 2013 SP1 (KB2817441)
- Performing a "Repair" on both SharePoint Designer 2013 and Visio 2013
- Clearing the caches in the AppData directory
- Setting Visual as the default mode for workflows to open in (so, not exactly switching, but trying to open it directly in the visual view)
Event viewer reports that it is an issue with Microsoft.Web.Authoring.ni.dll which throws an unhandled exception, System.AccessViolationException.
This is the error message:
System.AccessViolationException was unhandled

SharePoint Designer 2013 cannot access workflows in Office 365 Site

I have an Office 365 SharePoint site with a number of workflows that I have created on my machine with SPD 2013. After a number of weeks I was unable to access the workflows from my machine through SPD (while still being able to access pages, site assets
etc.), getting the following error: (Am restricted from submitting images)
"Server-side activities have been updated. You need to restart SharePoint Designer to use the updated version of activities"
Restarting SPD doesn't help, after clicking OK I get the "SharePoint Designer cannot display the item" screen, prompting me to refresh.
When I do refresh, I get the following:
"Windows Workflow Foundation, part of .Net Framework 3.0, must be installed to use this feature"
This is happening on my machine, Windows 7 64 Bit, SPD 2013 64 Bit, but on a colleague's machine, Win 7 64 Bit, SPD 2013 64 Bit I can access the workflows.
I get the same error if I try to create a new Workflow on my machine but I can create it on my colleague's machine.
I downloaded SPD 2013 on a 32 bit laptop I have access to, in which I can create a workflow. One existing workflow can be accessed, updated etc. with no issue, one opens to a prompt to "Insert a stage" and one tells me that it "Failed to load
the workflow definition for the workflow", then the "SharePoint Designer cannot display the item" screen. All of these workflows can be accessed from my colleague's machine.
Here are the actions that I have taken to date on my own machine:
Cleared the caches multiple times
Checked for updates
Installed .Net Framework 4.5
Re-installed .Net Framework 4.0 (which contains 3.0)
Uninstalled and re-installed SPD 2013
Due to issues with a workflow on the site I am in contact with MS Support who are aware of this issue, they sent me a link to a hot fix that was already installed but they have no concrete idea of what might be going on.
I was convinced that it was an issue on my machine, but I don't know what the issues that I have seen on the 32 bit SPD on the new laptop mean.
I have been searching the internet for a fix with no success, I would appreciate any help.
Thanks
Mick

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that SharePoint Designer 2013 cannot access workflows in Office 365 Site.
There was an issue recently when a service release was implemented that incremented the version number in the HTML header on some SharePoint online sites to '16' when SPD was expecting '15'.
I suggest to install internet explore 10 and install a patch for IE10. Then test with "open with windows explore" then opened in SPD from sharepoint online.
In addition, I suggest that in SPD go to Account > Switch Account and type in the credentials of the site you are trying to open (it defaults to your Microsoft Login).
If the issue persists, to troubleshoot this issue, you can uninstall all versions of SharePoint Designer on workstation, clear cache and then reinstalling the latest SharePoint Designer. For the detailed information, you can refer to the
article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2794961

Can't install the sharepoint designer 2013 (32 or 64 bits) because of the "Office 15 click-to-run extensibility component"

Hi there,
I have a problem installing sharepoint designer 2013 which I downloaded .
When I try to install the 64 bits installation program it it comes up with a popup that there are 32 bits programs found on my laptop. (Office 15 click-to-run extensibility component)
When I try to install the 32 bits program of sharepoint designer it gives the same popup only that it found a 64 bits office program (Office 15 click-to-run extensibility component).
What can I do to resolve this strange problem?
I have a windows 8.1 laptop and use office as part of office 365.

Hi GerritAikema,
According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you installed SharePoint 2013 Designer 64-bit.
Please uninstall the Office 15 Click-to-Run Extensibility component, then install SharePoint 2013 Designer 64-bit, compare the result.
For uninstalling the Office 15 Click-to-Run Extensibility component, you can refer to the link:

SharePoint Designer 2013 workflow - creating new items in the list

Hi,
I need to create a workflow in SharePoint designer 2013. Basically the flow is like that:
There is a Request List where people submit their requests. The requests have status: Submitted and Completed.
Once the status goes to 'Completed" there should be a workflow triggered that creates an entry in another list; VoC list and populate VoC columns. Additionally there should be an email send to the requestor that the request has been processed.
I tried to do that but I failed - what do I do wrong? It keeps telling me that there is an error in workflow.
Could you, please help me? Thank you.
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Jowita

With this command it populated the Voc list. But when I tried to add additional fields, the workflow did not work. Fo example, I've got a column "Requestors Name" in Request List and I would like the same column in Voc List to be automatically
populated with the data from Requestors List. I set Field Requestors name to Value Current item:Requestors name but it did not work :-(
What do you mean by "VoC column is already created in VoC list"?
And one additional question: is it possible for the workflow to automatuically create new columns in the VoC list?
Hi Jowita,
We could use workflow to populate values in column but not populate new columns, so the column should be created in list manually before workflow.
As I understand now, you need to use workflow to populate at least two columns in another list, and one is person or people type. I captured a screenshot for your reference, pp column is in person or group type in both two lists, please set return
type as Display name:

Can't open Sharepoint Online site in Sharepoint Designer 2013

Hello!
I am trying to open a Sharepoint Online secure site in Sharepoint Designer 2013 (v15). When I try to open the site in Sharepoint Designer i get an error stating:
"Server error: The version of Microsoft SharePoint Foundation running on the server is more recent than the version of SharePoint Designer that you are using. You need a more recent version of SharePoint
Designer."
I used to have the preview version installed, but I uninstalled it and got the latest version I could find (version 15?). I checked the SharePoint version on the server (/_vti_pvt/service.cnf) and it says:
vti_encoding:SR|utf8-nl
vti_extenderversion:SR|16.0.0.1706The public site I have has the same version and it opens just fine in SharePoint Designer 2013. Are there any new versions of SharePoint Designer 2013 available that I have missed? My SharePoint Designer is up to date via Windows Update.I am running the designer on Windows 7 Ultimate x86.

I had the same issue today. Here what I have found.
I was using different credentials for my different SharePoint site in SPD 2013. When I try to access my new SharePoint online site (Which has different Account) the SharePoint Designer directly show me
"Server error: The version of Microsoft SharePoint Foundation running on the server is more recent than the version of SharePoint Designer that you are using. You need a more recent version of SharePoint Designer."
then I changed my Account Credentials by
Open SPD 2013
1)click File
2) Click Account
3) Log out from current user name
4) sign in by using the same credential as your new SharePoint Site.
DONE!
I think this error is not useful as it (this error) is not about which version of SharePoint you are using but more about Account credentials.(At least for me) Hope that helps.

Sharepoint online & Sharepoint Designer 2013

Hi, I am receiving an error each time I try to open a SharePoint online site through SharePoint designer 2013.
The error is saying "The Server Could not complete your request". I click on 'Details' and get a repeated "403 Forbidden403 Forbidden403 Forbidden" error message. After I pass this message I get a standard "You do not have permission
to open this web site in SharePoint designer"
Here are a list of things that have so far not worked for me:
Using "https://" rather than "http://" - Same issue.
Removing SharePoint Designer, deleting cache in "users>Roaming>SharePoint designer cache" - Same issue.
Clearing Generic Credentials in Credential Manager - Same issue.
Checking SharePoint site permissions to ensure that " Same issue.
My Admin role grants no restrictions.
I have Nintex trials installed and have used it to build forms on the site, I also have Nintex workflow however current tutorials detailing how to do what I need to do require SharePoint Designer 2013.
Finally SharePoint Developer 2013 has opened sites before, both SharePoint online sites and on prem, but now our company has gone in for the 'real deal' site I can not open this in SharePoint Designer 2013.
Any support would be very much appreciated, I have been trying to find a solution for a number of days now going into a week.
Regards,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
What permission do you have at site collection level and site level？
For troubleshooting your issue, please go to your site collection -> site settings -> site collection administration -> SharePoint Designer Settings, make sure you enable the SharePoint Designer.
Also make sure the o365 sites are added to the trusted sites and the WebClient services (Search: services.msc) is running.Then in SPD go to Account > Switch Account and type in the credentials of the site you are trying to open (it defaults to your
Microsoft Login).
