Thinapp Visio 2013 / Project 2013

Hello,
Have somebody already expeariences with thinapping Visio 2013 and Project 2013 with Office 2013 nativly installed?
I tried it but im getting an error message during startup of the packet application.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Regards

Hi Apollo777
Ive sorted my issues with the thin app and generating licence issues. It was due to a mismatch in file versions in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform folder on the base image and equivilent in the thinapps(Visio and project were newer).
To capture visio/project I used a Win 7 64 Bit VM without office installed.
I copied the media to the vm added my KMS details as per dankwax instructions and then did the pre scan.
I installed the app and then opened the registry.
I then found the below key and set it to 10 as the errors I was originally getting in my VDI Event log pointed to this when googled
The Office Software Protection Platform service also known as OSPPSVC.EXE is generally started on demand when a user has started Office and does not automatically shut down the service by default. You can set the following registry key and apply a timeout to solve that issue:
Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform
ValueName: InactivityShutdownDelay
ValueType: DWORD
ValueData: The number in seconds, that the Office Software Protection Platform will stay running for, after the most recent activity. The windows default for this is 300 seconds.
After setting this key, simply restart the Office Software Protection Platform Service to use the new settings.
Once the key was entered I opened the app and made sure it was licenced.
I then did the post scan and build. Once complete
I then started up my Base image and went to the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform folder
I then went into %ProgramFilesDir(x64)%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform in my Project 2013 build folder and found these files are newer then the ones on the base image.
I copied the newer files to the base image and also checked visio so all files were the same.
I shut down my base image and snapshotted it
I then recomposed my pool using the new base image and the licencing issue disappeared!

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.

App-V 5.0: Adding Visio 2013 and Project 2013 to a previously deployed virtual Office 2013

Good morning.
I can successfully deploy Office 2013 via PowerShell and App-V v5.0 without difficulty. I've read the document at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2915745/en-us and followed all instructions successfully.
My question is this: If Office 2013 without Visio 2013 or Project 2013 is virtually deployed, how can those components be added later?
For instance, we may have 100 users that acquire a virtualized Office 2013 without Project or Visio. We then may have 25 users that require a virtualized Office and Visio without Project and, perhaps, another 15 that require Office and Project without
Visio.
Currently, when I attempt a second virtual deployment of one of these components, it removes Office 2013 making it inaccessible.
How can Project and/or Visio be deployed to an already existing virtually deployed Office 2013?
Thanks very much.
John

As a part of MDOP, you'll also have access to UE-V which will provide a mechanism of moving user preferences across the same applications from difference packages.
It will require planning, configuration and deployment, but will ensure you don't face the same issue in the future.

Office 2013 VL Local Install with Project and Visio 2013 App-V

Is it supported to have a local install of Office 2013 and deploy a virtual package for Project and Visio 2013 (created via ODT) using App-V 5.0 SP2?I cannot find any reference in the various support articles.

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,
SA

Hi 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!

Standalone Project/Visio 2013 package using Office Deployment Toolkit?

Hello all,
As per the title, is it possible to use ODT to produce standalone Project/Visio 2013 packages without Office in there? I've tried it couple of times now but it will always ended up having the rest of the office suite in there.
Here's an example of the configuration.xml used:
<Configuration>
<Add SourcePath="C:\Temp\" OfficeClientEdition="32" >
    <Product ID="ProjectProVolume">
      <Language ID="en-us" />
    </Product>
</Add>
<Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
<Logging Path="%temp%" />
<Property Name="AUTOACTIVATE" Value="1" />
</Configuration>
Any ideas? I've tried using the Sequencer to sequence Visio by itself but everytime it launches, the wizards will run on every launch even though I've already ran them once.
Thanks in advance!

No. You can restrict the application using the XML configuration.

Visio 2013 32-bit trial version will not install even with other 32-bit MS products only.

Trying to load MS Visio 2013 Trial to determine if it works so I can purchase full version.
Environment: MacBook Pro, w/ VMWare Fusion 4, Windows 7, running only MS Project 32-bit on the VMWare side. MS Office is not installed only MS Project.
Downloaded Visio 2013 Trial img file and attempted to install. Received 64-bit conflict with 32-bit software error message. Deleted Visio 2013 64-bit version and redownloaded Visio 2013 Trial img this time in 32-bit. Tried to install but the same 64-bit
conflict message is appearing. As the only software I have installed is MS Project 32-bit it does not appear that there should be a conflict. I have scanned TechNet and Googled to try and understand how to determine and resolve the conflict but
there are no threads to address this specific problem.
P.S. I cannot uninstall and reinstall MS Project as I spent hours on the phone with Microsoft and VMWare Support to get it installed the first time so I don't want to mess with an existing environment that is finally working.
Microsoft online chat recommended calling MS Support and they have now sent me to you. Can you please help?

Dear Smith_123:
Thank you for your reply. However, Office had never been previously on the OS as it was never purchased. I do have Office for Mac 2011 but that is 32 bit and is not on the VMWare / Windows side of the machine. But even if I had, I would not know
how to clean up the residual file or registry keys without assistance.
After 1 hours and 20 min on the phone last evening and being handed from person to person through literally 9 different people, I finally reached someone that seemed knowledgeable in MS Support. But all they would give me was a circular answer:
We can't help you because it is a Trial Version for which there is no support offered. When I explained I wanted to be sure Visio worked on my machine prior to spending between $300 and $600 on a copy, Support could only say that I would have to purchase it
first before they would give me any help to see if it works. When I offered to purchase it right then since I had finally gotten to someone who appeared as though they could help, he told me that he was Support and not Sales so I would have to go elsewhere
to purchase the product. Very frustrating.

Visio 2013 Activation

I bought Visio 2013 Professional from our company account. We also have 2 Project 2013 Standard Licenses on the same. When I navigate to my products in my account and try to download Visio 2013 on the desired
computer, the hyperlink redirects me to download / installation of Project (which has already been downloaded and the license is in use on another company computer).
I even tried downloading a trial version and then activating the trail but it doesn't seem to work. The error message I get when trying to do this is "The products we found in your account can't be used to activate Visio." It for some reason thinks
I do not own the product, which my account displays my product with a license key but the hyperlink doesn't allow me to download or install it because it redirects me to Project installation page.
Calling Microsoft Tech Support was the worst experience I have ever had. I was on call for over 2 hours being transferred from one department to another being told that it was "out of scope" for the person I was talking to, and then id eventually
get transferred back to the main menu.
We have spend SO much money on this product and cannot even use it. This is ridiculous! Also, talking about after sales customer service....i dont think it even exists.
I'd really appreciate help in resolving this issue ASAP. Its been two weeks and this is my last resort to get this sorted out so that we can finally use the product we paid so much money for.

Hi,
I have definitely heard your frustration, and we're thinking about ways to troubleshoot this issue.
Would you like to share us your download page and link? And, please try this link to download:

Then, based on the error message, please the 2 workaround.
1. Don't activate the product using your account credentials. Just enter your product key manually to activate Office 2013 copy.
Open Control Panel and click on Programs and Features icon >Right Click on Microsoft Visio
>Enter a Product Key > Type your 25-characters product key and click on Continue button.
2. Use Phone activate

Visio 2013 Uninstall

I cannot get Visio 2013 to uninstall. This is the XML config file that I call using a batch script:
<Configuration Product="Visio">
<Display Level="none" CompletionNotice="no" />
<Setting Id="SETUP_REBOOT" Value="Never" />
</Configuration>
This is my batch script:
"%~dp0Visio\setup.exe" /uninstall Visio /config "%~dp0config_visio.xml"
I use the same uninstall method for all of the other products, ProPlus and Project, and they uninstall fine. I have not been able to get Viso to unistall. It does not error on the uninstall.
Has anyone had any success uninstalling Visio 2013?

Try use vispro instead of Visio in your batch script.
That is:
"%~dp0Visio\setup.exe" /uninstall vispro /config "%~dp0config_visio.xml"

VIsio 2013 Activation Issue

Visio 2013 installed correctly, however when I try to activate all I get is the "Sorry we are having some temporary server issues" Try again later. This has been going on for two days does anyone know how to fix this issue?

Hi,
Please try the following method:
In the registry editor (regedit.exe), you find HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Internet\WebServiceCache\AllUsers\office15client.microsoft.com
Delete all the subfolders of the ...\office15client.microsoft.com folder.
This should immediately fix the problem.
Note Please back up your registry before you modify.

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.

How to get mouse over shape to display data in Visio 2013?

Hi Visio pros,
I am required to create a diagram of our servers rack setup and will be publishing to a Web page using Visio 2013.
The goal is to mouse over the server shape and have the data be displayed. I have followed arguably every solution on the internet. I am either doing it wrong, or it might be outdated information.
I'm hoping Paul Herber, or other Visio pros would be able to help me with this situation as I am on a tight schedule and have exhausted my resources.
Things I have tried:
user.visEquivTitle in ShapeSheet
http://visualsignals.typepad.co.uk/vislog/2012/02/no-mouseover-with-visequivtitle.html
and
prop.(data name) in the comments within the miscellaneous section of the ShapeSheet.

Hi Sir!
I am open to the possibility that I may have done something wrong as I am very new to Visio.
Here are the steps I followed:
http://visio.mvps.org/ShapeSheet/
Browser that I am using is Internet Explorer since I ran into problems with Google Chrome.
However, after more reading I noticed the User.visEquivTitle provides a tooltip. If it is what I think it is, which is a small yellow box displaying a string, my employer would not want that.
We're looking for something that will provide an aesthetic display of data after mouse over onto the shape.
Thank you very much for your help.

Acrobat 11.0.10 Addin in Visio 2013

The Acrobat Addin is not visible in Visio 2013. The goal is to use the Addin to generate high quality PDFs. I already tried the following:
Reinstalling Visio 2013
Reinstalling Acrobat 11 with the full-installation option
Checking the registry for the load behavour of the plugin > Visio does not have an option for Addin load behaviour, since HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Visio is not existent. There is no option for the load behaviour in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Visio, the only folder that exists with the name 'Visio'.
Adding the Addin manually within Visio > the Addin does not get added, if the file C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\PDFMaker\Office\PDFMOfficeAddin.dll is selected. Visio does not show any reaction.
Thank you in advance for your help.

I just realized, that Adobe Acrobat XI does not support Visio anymore, according to this source (German): PDFMaker nicht verfügbar | Office 2007, Office 2010 | Acrobat 9, Acrobat X, Acrobat XI

Org Chart Shapes are no longer recognized as org chart shapes by Visio 2013

I created an org chart in Visio 2013 by importing data from Excel. It generated the org chart properly. I then began cleaning up (i.e. Best Fit to Page, changing layouts on pages, changing size & spacing) as need to be visually more
appealing. After cleaning up many pages, Visio no longer recognized the shapes on the page as org chart shapes. This now causes the 'Best Fit to Page' feature to display a msg stating "Add organization chart shapes to your drawing, and
try again." It also causes the 'position' (employee) shapes under a 'manager' shape to no longer move with the manager shape when the manager is repositioned. This is now true for all shapes on all pages in my org chart. Can the
shapes be fixed to go back to being recognized as org chart shapes?

Hi，
If you want to show the pictures in the Organization chart， we need to add the photo the display
fields. Please try to do the following steps:
Create a new Organization chart> Organization Chart Wizard choose information that's already stored in a file or database> Choose A microsft Exchange Server directory> Select Photo and add to display fields> Choose the information which you want
to show> I want to specify how much of my Organization to display on each page > Choose the team
For more detail information, please refer to the following link:
