Unable to upgrade Office 2010, Error 1603

I am running Office 2007 on Windows XP.
I tried to upgrade to Office 2010 and installation was successful with no error message displayed.
When I looked at the Eventlogs, I found the installation had a status error 1603.
I also tried to follow http://support.microsoft.com/kb/834484,
However when I tried to overwrite permissions for SYSTEM, there are files that I cannot apply the permissions.
Please help.
Thank you.

Glad to hear that you have found the solution. Thank you for sharing your experience here, it will be helpful to other community members who have similar questions.

Upgrade Office 2010 Standard to Office 2010 Pro Plus using Config.xml

Hello,
I am upgrading Office 2010 Standard to Office 2010 Pro Plus. But after using the below config pro plus did get installed but both versions of Office 2010 ( Stand and Plus ) show up on the machines. I want only Office Pro plus to appear.
The second issue is that even after uninstalling Office 2010 Standard from the Control panel the Office shows activation of both ( Going to --File ---Help)
How can I edit this config.xml to remove office 2010 Standard first and then upgrade to Office 2010 Pro Plus?
<Configuration Product="ProPlus">
<Display Level="None" CompletionNotice="No" SuppressModal="Yes" AcceptEula="Yes" />


<PIDKEY Value="aaaa-aaa-aaa-aaa" />
<COMPANYNAME Value="XYZ Co." />
<Setting Id="AUTO_ACTIVATE" Value="1" />







</Configuration>

Hi,
Here is not a Config.xml solution, but we can use it as a workaround, basically automate the uninstallation of Office 2010, reboot the computer and then deploy Office 2010. You may find the following article useful if you need more info on that.

Unable to print office 2010 document to the printer.

Hi All,
Greetings of the day.
Due to MS office upgrade to 2010, i am unable print document. I am using CV120_START_APPLICATION function module but with this i am able see print preview only.
Kindly do the needful.
Regards,
Yogendra

You see, this is what happens when the question doesn't have sufficient information to provide an intelligent answer. You're saying "i am unable to print document", but what document? From where? What have you already tried to resolve this yourself (maybe try another FM?)? And what is the actual question?
Simply by looking at the FM description I gather it has something to do with DMS. If you go to Google and type in 'DMS print document site:scn.sap.com' there are 1000+ hits. Are none of them helpful?
Going forward, kindly refer to this blog and this one before posting a question.

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.

Unable to update Office 2010 to 14.0.7128.5000 with Sp2

Attempting to streamline updates for Office 365 rollout and when trying to update Office 2010 to SP2 14.0.7128.5000. no matter what hotfix I install or even through windows updates, I cannot get the version to read 14.0.7128.5000. I believe the version
showing is 14.0.7015.1000.

Hi Brian,
It looks like 14.0.7015.1000 is the final version of Office 2010 Service Pack 2 (SP2). For the specific version number of 14.0.7128.5000, I can only find it on this KB article - July
8, 2014 update for Office 2010 (KB2837581).
Only one .dll file is affected by this update. I have tested it that it will not change the version number of your Office 2010 Service Pack 2.

Unable to open Office 2010 file in Office professional Plus 2013

Hi All,
Excel file created in Excel 2010 opens correctly along with edit option where the owner has created it in protect mode available in excel.
But when we try to open the same in office 2013 it opens where the protected mode enable, if we click view it gives formulas instead of just enabling user to edit the protected cell.
Please help..

Hi,
Thanks for your question.
Does this only happen to some specific files or all? When you say "protect mode", do you mean the "Protected View"?

Free Office 2010 Update to Office 2013

I upgraded Office 2010 to Office 2013 when the free upgrade period was available. Recently, my computer hard drive crashed, and the Microsoft Store restored my Hard Drive and saved my data. The programs were gone, however. I reloaded Office
2010 from disk. How do I get Office 2013 back?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi,
Since the free upgrade period was over, we don't provide this service now.
If you can't activate Office 2010 now, I suggest you do a phone activation. Explain your scenario to the service (Human being), you can also consult them about the free update matter.
You can find your local custom support number on the link below.http://support.microsoft.com/gp/customer-service-phone-numbers/en-us

Office 2010 Tools Do Not Remove

I am upgrading office 2010 to office 2013 using the OCT setup. I have it so that it removes all the 2010 programs. But when i run the installer, it uninstalls the programs but it keeps the office 2010 tools. There is no setting in OCT to remove
these files.

Thanks for sharing the info that it's actually an Enterprise-level
deployment.
I'm not sure that if there is an .exe or script, but as an alternate workaround you can make this in two steps:
1. Please first create an Office 2010 MSP file and make
Office Tools to Not Available under Features->Set feature installation states. And run that MSP file first in your environment to remove Office Tool from all the
computers.
2. After that, please create another separate MSP file, then start upgrade Office and removes all the 2010 programs.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Unable to open SharePoint 2010 task from any Microsoft Office application - cannot open a new form (schema validation errors)

I can’t get the Microsoft Office SharePoint Task integration to work with any SharePoint 2010 Workflows. When any end user clicks the “Open this task…”
button from outlook (or any other office application) a warning dialog appears stating that:
“Outlook cannot open a new.
The form contains schema validation errors.”
The error details are:
Element '{http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml}div' is unexpected according to content model of parent element '{http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2009/WSSList/dataFields}Body'.
Some points to note:
I can replicate this using on several computers running as different users.
I have full control over the site and the task I am trying to open.
When I navigate via the SharePoint site I can open the task.
The Info Path form that cannot be opened was automatically created by automatically SharePoint designer / InfoPath. I have subsequently deleted the form and published
the workflow (which created the InfoPath form again).
I am running Mircosoft Office Professional Plus 2010 version 14.0.5128.5000 (32-bit)
One workaround is to remove the “Open this task…” button as per
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepoint2010general/thread/eb273ee9-6a4b-409c-8eb0-5351bb113386/. This is not ideal and will be my last resort.
Any suggestions and or thoughts appreciated.
Thanks!

Yes, I tried that. It did not work for me.
I have 4 site collections. The main site collection is the only one that I receive the error.
When the user clicks on the email link and opens the document for approval, they receive the following error when they click on "Open This Task".
Element '{http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml}a is unexpected according to content model of
parent element '{http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2009/WSSList/dataFields}Body'.
There is nothing wrong with the task list itself, just the link from the Office 2010 client.
I am wondering if there is a web config or other file on the server that is specific to the site collection??

New win 7 office 2010 upgrade won't open emailed attachments

after upgrading a system from vista/office xp to win7/office2010, emailed attachments wont open in word or excel("corrupt file error") from outlook mailbox. when retrieving the same emails from a webmail application, attachments wont open if retrieved
by IE, but will open properly if retreived by firefox. I suspect some kind of permissions/protection problem rather than the "corrupt file" error message I'm getting, but can't identify the source of the problem.

Hi,
Thank you for contacting Outlook IT Pro Discussions Services.
From your description, I understand that after upgrading the system to Windows 7 and installing Office 2010, you are unable to open the attachments in Outlook, and
receive an error “corrupted file”. When trying to open the same email message in the Web Email application by using IE, the attachment cannot open. However, it can be open if you are using Firefox. If there is any misunderstanding, please feel
free to let me know.
Before we go further, I would like to confirm if this issue only occurs with the Word or Excel attachment. Can you open other types of attachments, such as notepad?
If this issue only occurs with the Word or Excel file, this issue can occur when the file association of the Word or Excel file is wrong or missing. Let’s try
the steps below to re-associate the Word and Excel file:
=============
1.
Please go to
Start \Control Panel\Programs\Default Programs\Set Associations.
2.
Locate the files .doc, .docm,.docx, .dot, .dotm, check if there are associated with
Microsoft Word. If not, highlight the file and click the
Change Program button. Choose Microsoft Word from the list. If you are unable to see Microsoft Word from the list, click the
Browse button. Browse to the folder: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14, and choose
Word.exe.
3.
Click
OK to save the settings.
4.
Similar steps to locate the files .xls, .xlsm, .xlsx. Make sure they are associated to Microsoft Excel.
Check the results again. If the problem persists, please also reset the IE settings and set IE as the default browser.
============
1.
Start Internet Explorer.
2.
On the
Tools menu, click Internet Options.
3.
On the
Advanced tab, click Reset.
4.
In the
Reset Internet Explorer Settings dialog box, click Reset to confirm.
5.
Click the
Program tab. Then, click Set your default programs.
6.
Highlight
Internet Explorer on the left.
7.
Click
Set this program as default.
8.
Click
OK.
Please take your time to try the suggestions and let me know the results at your earliest convenience. If anything is unclear or if there is anything I can do for
you, please feel free to let me know.

Presenter 7 Install. Error 1603. Unable to detect PowerPoint

I am using Windows XP and Office 2010. When attempting to install Adobe Presenter, I get:
Adobe Presenter 7
Error:
Error 1603. Error - Unable to detect Microsoft PowerPoint. You must have PowerPoint installed on this machine prior to running this installation program.
Office 2010 is installed. Any thoughts on how I can get Adobe to recognize it?
Many thanks!
AC

My situation with this is thus:
Originally had Win 7 with Office 2007 and Presnter 7 working fine. I installed Office 2010 on top of 2007 without replacing 2007 to see how well they co-existed on the same machine. Well all the add-ins come over to 2010 when you do that. So the first thing I do when I got a project involving Adobe Presenter is to fire up 2010 to see if it worked and it made the whole thing crash whenever I tried to do editing. Fortunately my work was still accessible using PowerPoint 2007 with the add-in there.
With the news that update 7.0.6 was released with support for 2010:
http://www.connectusers.com/forums/cucbb/viewtopic.php?id=4162
I went to check for the update in the presenter help menu and updated it from PowerPoint 2010 and it works so far. So I go to a test machine that only has 2010 installed on it to try out how the installer works and I get the same error: " Unable to detect PowerPoint"
It would seem that the only thing that Adobe needs to do is fix the dang installer so that it knows that it can work with 2010. So the workaround if you have the ability is to find an older copy of PowerPoint (2003-2007) and install that temporarily alongside PPT 2010 so that the COM add-in will get registered on the system and be picked up by 2010.
Adobe are you listening? Could you update your installer program??

Acrobat XI Pro "Out of Memory" error after Office 2010 install

Good Afternoon,
We recently pushed Office 2010 to our users and are now getting reports of previous installs of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro no longer working but throwing "Out of Memory" errors.
We are in a Windows XP environment. All machines are HP 8440p/6930p/6910 with the same Service pack level (3) and all up to date on security patches.
All machines are running Office 2010 SP1.
All machines have 2GB or 4GB of RAM (Only 3.25GB recognized as we are a 32bit OS environment).
All machines have adequate free space (ranging from 50gb to 200gb of free space).
All machines are set to 4096mb initial page file size with 8192mb maximum page file size.
All machines with Acrobat XI Pro *DO NOT* have Reader XI installed alongside. If Reader is installed, it is Reader 10.1 or higher.
The following troubleshooting steps have been taken:
Verify page file size (4096mb - 8192mb).
Deleted local user and Windows temp files (%temp% and c:\WINDOWS\Temp both emptied).
Repair on Adobe Acrobat XI Pro install. No change.
Uninstall Acrobat Pro XI, reboot, re-install. No change.
Uninstall Acrobat Pro XI Pro along with *ALL* other Adobe applications presently installed (Flash Player, Air), delete all Adobe folders and files found in a full search of the C drive, delete all orphaned Registry entries for all Adobe products, re-empty all temp folders, reboot.
Re-install Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. No change.
Disable enhanced security in Acrobat XI Pro. No change.
Renamed Acrobat XI's plug_ins folder to plug_ins.old.
You *can* get Acrobat to open once this is done but when you attempt to edit a file or enter data into a form, you get the message, "The "Updater" plug-in has been removed. Please re-install Acrobat to continue viewing the current file."
A repair on the Office 2010 install and re-installing Office 2010 also had no effect.
At this point, short of re-imaging the machines (which is *not* an option), we are stumped.
We have not yet tried rolling back a user to Office 2007 as the upgrade initiative is enterprise-wide and rolling back would not be considered a solution.
Anyone have any ideas beyond what has been tried so far?

As mentioned, the TEMP folder is typically the problem. MS limits the size of this folder and you have 2 choices: 1. empty it or 2. increase the size limit. I am not positive this is the issue, but it does crop up at times. It does not matter how big your harddrive is, it is a matter of the amount of space that MS has allocated for virtual memory. I am surprised that there is an issue with 64GB of RAM, but MS is real good at letting you know you can't have it all for use because you might want to open up something else. That is why a lot of big packages turn off some of the limits of Windows or use Linux.

Raghavendar

Hi Raghavendar,
Generally, when you install Lync 2013 in the computer with Office 2010, a Lync Meeting Add-in will be installed and enabled in Outlook 2010. Please follow these steps to check it:
1. In Outlook, click the File tab, click Options, and then click
Add-Ins.
2. Please take one of the following actions:
If the add-in is in the Inactive Application Add-ins list, follow these steps:
a. In the Manage drop-down list at the bottom of the dialog box, click
COM Add-ins, and then click Go.
b. Click to select the check box next to the add-in, and then click OK.
The New Online Meeting button should now be available in
Calendar View, and the Online Meeting button should be available when you create a new calendar item.
If the add-in is in the Disabled Application add-ins list, follow these steps:
a. In the Manage drop-down list at the bottom of the dialog box, click
Disabled Items, and then click Go.
b. Select the add-in, and then click Enable.
c. Restart Outlook, and then verify that the add-in is displayed in the
Add-ins dialog box.
The New Online Meeting button should now be available in
Calendar View, and the Online Meeting button should now be available when you create a new calendar item.
3. In Event Viewer, view the Application log to see whether an error was logged for Outlook, for Lync 2013, the Lync Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office 2013.
Thanks,
