SharePoint WorkSpace 2010 in Office 2013

Hello,
How come users who have brand new systems with native Office 2013 to access SP WorkSpace 2010? WorkSpace 2010 installer is not available to download from MSFT Website. Is there any alternative way to install Workspace 2010 in Office 2013 system?
Thanks

SharePoint Workspace 2010 still installed after upgrade to Office 2013

I'm working on a deployment of Office 2013 in a corporate environment. Using the OCT, I've customized a package which is working well on machines that don't have previous version of Office installed. However, many of the existing machines currently
have Office 2010. After executing the Office 2013 package, we're noticing that while the upgrade works, SharePoint Workspace 2010 and the Office 2010 Tools still exist in the Start -> Programs menu. I also see Office 2010 in Add/Remove programs
(along with the new Office 2013). The OCT is specifically set to uninstall previous editions of Office during the upgrade (which is the default behavior).
I'll seen a couple of other posts like this on the forum, but unfortunately no answers. How can I *completely* uninstall Office 2010 (including SharePoint Workspace 2010 and the Office 2010 tools) during the upgrade to Office 2013? This
corporation doesn't need SharePoint Workspace 2010; my guess is that it was included by default with the Office 2010 package that they rolled out in the past.
Thanks!

Hi,
By default, the uninstall option in Office Customization Tool (OCT) will not remove SharePoint Workspace 2010 as SharePoint Workspace is no longer include in Office 2013.
Try to create a separate Office 2010 .msp file, set Microsoft SharePoint Workspace and Office Tools to "Not Available" and deploy it
prior to the installation of Office 2013.
Or you can do an Uninstall upgrade. Basically, use the /uninstall [ProductID] command-line option to uninstall Office 2010 from the user's computer first and then after that is finished, install Office 2013.
Here is a great example of how to perform an uninstall-upgrade for enterprise deployments :
http://blogs.technet.com/b/odsupport/archive/2011/04/06/how-to-perform-an-uninstall-upgrade-to-office-2010.aspx (Note, the steps are wrriten for Office 2010, but it holds good for Office 2013.)

Cannot sync Microsoft Sharepoint workspace 2010 with Sharepoint 2013 site

I keep getting the below error message when I try to sync a doc lib from a sharepoint 2013 site with sharepoint workspace 2010.
The field "AppAuthor" contains a lookup list "AppPrincipals" that cannot be resolved. The target list may not be part of the site
I have uninstalled Lync 2013, uninstalled and re-installed office 2010, 2687364 hotfix yet the issue still persists.
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Kind Regards
Louis
thanks

Hi,
Is this issue only occur in one client machine? Can other machines installed SharePoint Workspace 2010 works when perform syncing?
As you have reinstalled the 2687364 hotfix and the issue still exists, I suggest you install Office 2010 SP2 to see if it can work:
32-bit
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39667
64-bit
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39647
Feel free to reply with the test result if the issue still exists.

Connect to MS Office button is Grayed out - for both Office 2010 and Office 2013

Hi
I have recently implemented Sharepoint 2013 Standard for a customer.
I have got everything to work so far except one important thing, from any Ms Word or Ms Excel application save as SharePoint is missing. While having a closer look I noticed that Connect to Office button is grayed out in SharePoint.
During the initial setup, I created the site collection using Team Site template under collaboration. All researching is pointing me to user profile setup with my site host under enterprise section in site collection.
I have confirmed that the clients are opening sharepoint from 32bit browser and they have sharepoint handler add on enabled in IE. I have also followed the below guide
https://mywinsysadm.wordpress.com/2011/07/28/sharepoint-connect-to-office-for-new-document-creation/
However, I cant actually see any user profile feature as the guide suggests, I can only see "create personal site" under manage profile service section.
I have searched & searched and I am not finding any solutions to this problem.
can someone point me to the right direction please? is it purely because the site collection is not a My site Host?
All I need is for users with Office 2010 or Office 2013 to be able to save a document directly in sharepoint.
Note - Connect is outlook is working fine though.

Hi jawad,
As navigating to a SharePoint Library and clicking 'Connect to Office', the link to document library is added to
http://[mysites]/_layouts/15/MyQuickLinks.aspx. So, you need to make sure you have your personal site.
After creating your personal site, please visit
http://[mysites]/_layouts/15/MyQuickLinks.aspx, check whether it can open well.
More information about creating MySite, you can refer to:
http://blog.sharedove.com/adisjugo/index.php/2012/07/25/visual-guide-setting-up-my-sites-in-sharepoint-2013/
Then go to IE Options->Programs->manage add-ons, make sure all add-ons related to SharePoint are enabled.
Here is an article, it may be useful for you:

How to Export SharePoint Workspace 2010 Lists to Excel

We are using SharePoint WorkSpace as our primary inter-office business repository. Note, we are NOT on a local version of the SharePoint 2010 server, but rather utilize the cloud service on a subscription basis.
The problem we ran into is that there is NO option to grab items in a custom list and select Excel, CSV, XML, etc. as option for export. the ONLY option we have available is the SharePoint WorkSpace 2010 archive format (*.gax). This looks like it is
in some propietary binary format...
I am fairly certain in 2007 and the old "Groove" there was an option to do this? Am I missing something here?

Try below:

Sharepoint Workspace 2010: Absolute path to workspaces folder

I am trying to mount the SharePoint Workspace 2010 workspaces folder on another computer so that I can parse the Excel files stored in it for additional processing. But I am unable to find the full file system path to the workspaces folder. Can someone please
help me find it?
Thanks,
Mahmood

Hi Mahmood,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to find the SharePoint 2010 workspace file location.
The workspace data is stored within the users profile. The default location is %localappdata%\Microsoft\Office\14.0\OfficeFileCache. The files in this location don't look like the actual files, and contain
a lot of metadata.
For more information, you can have a look at the blog:

SharePoint Workspaces 2010

I repaired my Windows 8 Pro installation preserving all my data. I realized too late that all my applications, including SharePoint Workspaces 2010 were deleted. I reinstalled the applications. I had one year old account file for SP Workspaces but my workspaces
are not loading. I can get re-invited to most but one. Is there any way to recover that one workspace?

Hi Marek,
Did you enable any an option to recover the account option earlier ? or did you take any backup of this workspace ?
If yes you can recover it, refer - http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/sharepoint-workspace-help/using-your-account-on-another-computer-in-sharepoint-workspace-2010-HA010283465.aspx

"cannot contact provisioning server"

Cannot checkin/checkout html, js, txt, and jsp files in MS Sharepoint Workspace 2010

I am having issues checkin/checkout html, js and jsp files in Microsoft Sharepoint Workspace 2010. I can access (checkin/checkout) any files in the actual Sharepoint site, but when I am synchronized to the site in Sharepoint Workspace 2010 I cannot access
html, js, and jsp files. When I try to checkout a html file, a message pops up saying:
"Can not perform this operation. This document has been checked out or may no longer exist."
Could this be a synchronization issue, or was Sharepoint Workspace 2010 not design to work with html, js, txt, and jsp files?

Sharepoint Workspace 2010 woes

Hello, I have been trying to use the SharePoint workspace 2010 to upload files to the SharePoint site so my team can access the files remotely. I have been running into an issue where I am not able to view the files that I upload via the workspace
on the site, even after I sync them. The folders are visible but none of the files are. The files are viewable from the workspace. If I upload any files to the site, I am able to view them on both the workspace and the site itself.

Do you have the right link or enough permission to access SharePoint to sync the content from the website?
"I am not able to view the files that I upload via the workspace on the site, even after I sync them. The folders are visible but none of the files are. The files are viewable from the workspace"
In logic, When there is connectivity, the changes made to the local copy of libraries and lists are automatically synchronized with the corresponding items in an associate SharePoint site. SPW 210 treats all local changes as high priority and initiates an
immediate synchronization with SharePoint. When there is no connectivity, changes made in SharePoint workspaces are stored locally. The changes made offline are synchronized automatically the next time the user connects to the server.
Analyze 1: Do you meet the requirement? Regarding the software requirements, a SharePoint Workspace in SPW(SharePoint WorkSpace) 2010 can synchronize only with a site running on Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010, SharePoint Foundation 2010, or SharePoint
Online servers.
Analyze 2: Does it only happen when uploading the file? What's the kind of documents you want to upload? SPW 2010 does not support all SharePoint sites. And not all content types of SharePoint lists and libraries as shown below are supported in SPW 2010
either. Calendar, survey, and Wiki are, for example, non-supported types.
There is a lot of factors may causes this, you may visit the link below to get the more reference about this issue.

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.

SharePoint 2010 and Office 2013 Can't edit documents

Hello
I have built a desktop image with Office 2013. I am receiving the following error when I click on a document in a SharePoint library and click "Edit in Microsoft Word" (the problem is not limited to Word):
The document could not be opened for editing. A Microsoft SharePoint Foundation compatible application could not be found to edit the document.
I have tried the following:
Ensuring the "WebClient" service is running
Ensuring the site is in the "Local Intranet" zone
Checking the "SharePoint OpenDocuments Class" add-on is loaded
Making sure Internet Explorer is not running in 64-bit mode
Manually re-registering OWSSUPP.DLL
Ensuring the SharePoint Foundation integration components are installed
Repairing Microsoft Office
The document sometimes loads succesfully but not always. When it will and won't load seems quite random. I am at a complete loss as to why this is!
I am running the following on my client:
Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 (x64)
Office Professional Pro Plus 2013 (VL)
If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate this.
Regards
Peter

This took a lot of tracking down!!!!
The issue is with Office 2013. Someone at Microsoft has hardcoded what I think maybe the US local into a registry key request!!! Just brilliant!!
The key in question is: HKCR\Installer\Components\55EAFA0B8A4403B428FDE038B252C621\x86\2057
2057 is the US local
However we are not in the US !! Our local is 1033. So the key that exists on our PCs is
HKCR\Installer\Components\55EAFA0B8A4403B428FDE038B252C621\x86\1033
But Microsoft is looking for x86\2057 and that is why it fails - Also, if you are getting it were the document opens first time then errors from then on until IE is restarted -
That is because the first time you make a document call through SharePoint in a new IE session, it calls it differently to subsequent calls. I have verified this by tracing what is going on in the background...
Now due to the nature of the call you cannot just rename they key to be the missing key - we need to create and additional key ending in 2057 with the same value as (in our case x86\1033. So in the end you should have the following keys in place:
HKCR\Installer\Components\55EAFA0B8A4403B428FDE038B252C621\x86\1033
HKCR\Installer\Components\55EAFA0B8A4403B428FDE038B252C621\x86\2057
So there goes several hours of my life that I'm never getting back all for some sloppy coding - Thanks MS
To everyone else who has been suffering from this problem, time to smile once more :-)

SharePoint Designer 2010 and Visio 2013 Issues

I currently have Visio 2013 and SharePoint Designer 2010 installed. I have two problems that I'm experiencing and any help would be greatly appreciated.
1. I'm able to export an already manually created workflow from SharePoint Designer 2010 as a .vwi file without a problem and am able to import the file into Visio Pro 2013. I
was also able to export the file from Visio once changes were made. However, when I go to import the file into SharePoint Designer I receive a message stating "This workflow cannot be imported because it was created in SharePoint Designer for a
different site, or the original workflow has been moved or deleted. To move a workflow between sites, use Save as Template (.wsp file) instead of Visio workflow drawing." I cannot figure out how to save it in the format the prompt is suggesting
as this is not available from the list of Save As options from Visio and when exporting from Visio the only format to do so is as a Visio Workflow Interchange (.vwi file). When exporting from SharePoint Designer I’m only able to export as a .vwi file
and the Save As option is not available in SharePoint Designer. Additionally, the file location where I exported from SharePoint and importing back into SharePoint is not changing, nor is the file name.
2. If I create a workflow from scratch within Visio utilizing the SharePoint 2010 shapes, I'm about to export without a problem and save as a .vwi file. I'm also able to import this workflow into SharePoint Designer, but the problem is the workflow
never actually shows up and I do not receive any errors.
Any help on either or both of these issues would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric

Use Visio 2010. You may be running into a compatibility issue between Visio 2013 and Designer 2010.

Sharepoint Designer 2010 and Visio 2013

I am testing out Visio Professional 2013. I can import a VWI file from Sharepoint Designer 2010 and I can export a VWI file from Visio. But when I try to import the VWI file created in Visio 2013 into sharpoint Designer 2010 it appears to work, as
I don't get an error, but the work flow never appears. Any thoughts?

Hi,
Based on my research, if it is SharePoint Designer 2010, then the only edition that supports SharePoint workflows is Visio 2010 Premium edition.
And if you use Visio 2013, then it need to use SharePoint Designer 2013.

Cant' Add files to SharePoint Workspace 2010

Hi: I can't seem to find anything online regarding this problem. When in a document library in SPW, I click on the Add documents icon and a file browser window opens. I then select a file from the window and either double-click it or
press the Open button (both do the same). The file browser window then closes but I don't see that the file was added to the folder. I've tried this several times with the same result. What am I doing wrong?
Gary Michalske

Hi Gary,
According to your description, my understanding is that you cannot upload documents to the library in SharePoint Workspace.
Was there any error when you uploading the documents?
I tested the same scenario per your post, however everything worked fine.
I recommend to delete the cache files and re-sync the library with SharePoint Workspace and then add documents to see if the issue still occurs.
