Hi Peter,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
Based on your issue, as far as I know that it is default that there have no universal app template using Visual Basic language in VS 2013 update4.
In addition, I did some research for this issue from MSDN official document. I know that the universal app project templates that are currently available for C#, Visual C++ and JS, they have a similar set of templates for universal
apps.
So we could not make the universal app template using Visual Basic language in VS 2013 update4.

  • Excel web app Review tab with SharePoint 2013

    Is there a way to get the review tab to show up in Excel web app with SharePoint 2013 on-prem?  Users want to be able to use the "add comments" feature while in the excel web app.

    Hi,
    That functionality isn't available in Excel Web App on-premise. I just applied the Oct 2014 CU to WAC and do not have it, so the feature just hasn't made it down yet.
    You can use the "add comments" tab in excel client. 
    Here is a similar post, you can take a look at:

  • Office Web Apps 2013 with SharePoint 2013 Server

    Hi All,
    I have installed a separate server for Office Web Apps 2013 on Windows Server 2012 VM. I have followed TechNet's article on
    Deploying Office Web Apps Server & exactly followed steps.
    On SharePoint Server 2013 (Windows Server 2012), I followed TechNet’s article on
    Configure Office Web Apps for SharePoint. The Office Web Apps on SharePoint 2013 environment works for
    Excel document that shows “View in Browser” but
    no Preview.
    However, PowerPoint and Word documents doesn’t show “View in Browser”. I thought Internet Explorer 10 has some issue with Office Web Apps and checked on Chrome and results were same.
    On SharePoint Server 2013 environment, I have configured 3 services applications, MMS, UPS and Excel Service. 
    1.) Do I need any other service applications to be enabled for OWA 2013?      
    I read number of blogs,
    Installing Office Web Apps Server for SharePoint 2013 (Steve Mann),
    Install Office Web Apps 2013 with SharePoint 2013 (Max Melcher) and Spence Harbar
    (Enabling Office Web Apps Preview editing with SharePoint 2013). and all these blogs give more or less same steps that I have followed.  
    Strange thing is that Excel documents on my SharePoint 2013 sites are working but neither word or PowerPoint documents are not showing option for “View in Browser”. 
    I am using HTTP and not HTTPS.
    2. Can someone please advice how could I solve the Office Web Apps 2010 on Word and PPT?
    3. How to can enable preview for Excel, Word and PPT documents.
    Thanks you.

    Hi Inderjeet and Olafur,
    Thanks for your reply.
    @Inderjeet: That site collection feature on SP2010 works on our production environment but on SP2013 site collection there is no OWA feature. Microsoft recommends to have a separate OWA2013 server and what I create
    a separate VM for OWA2013 server.
    @Olafur: Your suggestion looks spot on. The OWA server does show the discovery:
    Our SP2013 development server has limited RAM (4GB) and it think is causing the issue.
    Let me check if increasing RAM solves the issue.
    Thanks again for your suggestions. (Interjeet and Olafur).

  • FluidLayout missing from Blend for Visual Studio 2013 (Universal App)

    Hi,
    I am building a Universal App with Visual Studio Professional 2013 Update 4 and Blend for Visual Studio 2013 and I cannot find the icon to switch on FluidLayout at all. The curvy icon does not seem to be there at all. When trying to find the xaml that goes
    with UseFluidLayout, I noticed that this a property on ExtendedVisualStateManager which I don't reference since the assembly that contains this class does not seem to exists for Universal Apps. Has anyone got an idea what I need to do to enable FluidLayout
    in a Universal App in Blend?
    Best wishes,
    Marc.

    Hello DobaKung,
    Thank you for your post.
    I would like to know which version of Visual Studio you are using. Is the HTML project the HTML 5 project? Are you working with windows store app?
    Based on your description, I feel that your issue is out of support range of VS general questions forum which mainly discusses
    WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System
    and Visual Studio Editor.
    Hope you can provide us more information so that we can further look at this issue and help you better.

  • Office 2013 Std (local) in combination with Office 2013 Pro (App-V)

    Hello,
    I have multiple RDS servers, that have Office 2013 Std installed locally. I did this on purpose, after reading some blogs pointing out Office 2013 is a complicated applicatie to stream well. And of course Office 2013 is highly critical to my clients.
    So I have a local installation of Office 2013 Std on every RDS server.
    The catch is, that the client also has an open license for Office 2013 Pro. This is because some users need to work with 'Access 2013'.
    So I thought it would be nice to use App-V to stream Access 2013 to the RDS servers. I have created the package for Office 2013 Pro, with Access in it. And I succesfully published Access 2013 to the group of users. So I can use Access on the RDS servers.
    The problem is, that when I click on the appliation "MSACCESS.exe", the application pops up in taskmanager and is immidiatly shut down again. So it never launches. No error, no nothing.
    I can't find any directions in the server, applicatie or App-V logs in the eventviewer. Does anyone have a clue where to look?
    Thanks in advance

    I think to be on a safe side, using a 'true' control system like AppSense or using dedicated RDS servers would be the only legally valid option.
    Even when Office (or at least Access) is virtualized, the licensing part and product key handling is done natively on the RDS servers by the 'Office 2013 Deployment Kit'. Besides others this includes a locally installed 'licensing stump'. Therefor there
    can be only one Office Suite product key be assigned to a RDS server machine.
    In fact you could tell the Deployment Kit to use the Office Pro key (allowing a virtualized Access to run), but then also the locally installed Office Version would (attempt to ) be licensed as 'Pro'. That potentially won't work. In fact you could re-configure
    the local Standard Office installation to consume Pro licenses, but that doesn't fit to your legal licenses.
    As Aaron write, legally an Office license is bound to the endpoint device, so you'd have to make sure that your Access App-V package can only be access by permitted client machines. And while App-V can filter application on the accessing user and the executing
    machine, it can't filter on the accessing end-point.
    Though we don't like it... 3rd party or a server silo seem the way to go.

  • Will Office Web Apps Server 2013 work with SharePoint 2013 sites hosted in SP2010 compatibility mode?

    We are planning a upgrade of a SP2010 farm to 2013. There has been a bit of customization so we wish to run the old sites on the new SP2013 platform in SP2010 compatibility mode.
    So my question is will Office Web Apps Server 2013 work with the old sites hosted in compatibility mode?
    I found a similar query from March 2014 found here 
    http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/93101/office-web-apps-2010-running-on-sharepoint-2013-for-compatibility-mode-sites/116281#116281 
    Has there been an update released to resolve this
    Cheers D

    Hi  ,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you need to know whether Office Web Apps 2013 is working with SharePoint 2013 sites which is in SharePoint 2010 compatibility mode.
    For my test, Office Web Apps 2013 with SharePoint 2013 sites which is in SharePoint 2010 compatibility mode is working fine.

  • Using office web apps with SharePoint 2013

    Hi,
    I would like to use office web apps in our SharePoint 2013 environment. I would like to know if OWA has to have a dedicated server or can I install it on the SharePoint 2013 app server.
    Sherazad

    With SharePoint 2013, Office Web Apps cannot be installed on the SharePoint Server, it must be installed on its own server, not shared with any other IIS-based service (it essentially "takes over" IIS).

  • Problem with SQLite in Universal App (Windows Phone part)

    Hello,
    I am using Universal Apps project because I want to move myself from Silverlight.
    In Silverlight type of Windows Phone project, it is very easy to work with SQLite either on 8.0 or 8.1.
    But I can't find a way to work with SQLite in Universal project. There is no IsolatedStorage to check if database exist, and if it does not exist, Application will put it in the IsolatedStorage.
    I always get message "No such table: kategorije" where "kategorije" is the name of one table in my database.
    I guess that Application can't find the database.
    Is there any tutorial (I have tried to find it) on how to use SQLite in Universal Apps with custom written querys?

  • Use a C++ WinRT Component with external LIB in a C# Universal App

    Hello,
    I created two projects : a C++ WinRT Component project and a C# Universal app that references directly the C++ project.
    If I call a method from my class in the C++ Windows Runtime Component project from C# it's working fine.
    I got the following error in the C# Universal App project when I reference an external LIB in the C++ project : "Additional information: The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)".
    Do I need to reference somehow the LIB (I got a DLL with the LIB too) in the C# project too?
    Thanks,
    Adrien.

    Hi Adrien,
    What do you mean by "reference an external LIB in the C++ project", the C++ project you mentioned here is a normal C++ project?
    As I know we have to check the option support in Windows Store App.

  • Non-Universal Apps won't launch on Intel Macs with Unsanity's App Enhancer

    I just got a new Intel MacBook Pro and ran into a problem with lauching non-Universal apps. When I tried to launch them, their icon would bounce once or twice in the dock, and then nothing. After many hours and a call to Apple support without any luck, I started searching tis support forum, and found an old post with something about a problem with Unsanity's products (WindowShade & others). It turns out that their Application Enhancer component was the problem. Unsanity claims it is due to a bug in OS X that Apple hasn't fixed yet. Be that as it may, Unsanity has been very responsible in providing a fix, located in the App Enhancer Preference Pane under System Prefs. Just open the prefs and push on the button labled "Rosetta Troubleshooting". That problem solved.
    Unfortunately, App Enhancer still seems to wreak havoc with Palm's HotSync Manager.

    You will find that Unsanity's "fix" doesn't always work. If you install FruitMenu you will find many PPC apps fail to launch regardless of the fix. In that case open APE and turn FruitMenu off temporarily. Also click on the Excluded Apps tab and drag the PPC app you want to run into the list box.
    Finally, if that doesn't help (although it should) then open the Terminal and at the prompt enter the following command line pressing return at the end:
    sudo killall translated

  • Wither Windows 10 universal apps?

    Strangely, Skype cited Windows 10 as a reason for abandoning its touchscreen app, but said nothing about offering a universal app for the upcoming operating system. A universal app would bestow a couple of distinct advantages: First, it would allow Skype to distribute its software through the Windows Store, allowing users to automatically get updates and easily re-download the app onto new PCs. It would also let Skype have a single app that works across phones, tablets, PCs, and the Xbox One. As it stands, Skype offers separate apps for each of these product categories, and distributes its desktop program through Skype.com. That’s not to say Skype won’t go universal after Windows 10's launched July 29. Microsoft is working on tools to convert desktop programs into universal apps, and it’d be downright shocking if Skype didn’t lead by example. Still, some of the details on this program are unclear, which might explain why Skype isn’t talking about it. In any case, it’s interesting that Skype is heading in a different direction than Microsoft Office, whose upcoming touch-friendly apps will be completely separate from the main desktop Office suite. Arguably, desktop Office is such a complex piece of software that merging it with the touch version just isn’t feasible right now. Sourced from : Jared Newman | @onejarednewmanPCWorld

    As your question is similar to what I have in my mind, I want to add:
    How does the WP (8.1 or Silverlight) scaling system works for different phone sizes (eg 520 vs 1520)?
    eg. sip keyboard height 8.1 SL is 339 px in phones below 4.7 inch but a scale factor is applied for larger phones. How to determine the scale factor? Have seen that it depends on the physical display size rather than resolution. How to determine the scale
    factor which multiplied by 339 will give the keyboard height in larger phones?

  • Publishing Universal App - An unexpected network error has occurred

    Hello,
    Each time that we tried to "Associate App with Store" or Create App package" via Visual Studio 2013 to publish our Windows Phone 8.1 Universal app, we have the error "An unexpected network error has occurred. the app list cannot be refreshed.
    Please retry by pressing the refresh button".
    Our account has more 100 WP apps, and we saw that it could be the problem?
    With Silverlight app, it was easy to generate a XAP. But now with Universal Apps, due to this issue, we are blocking! Please Microsoft, can you correct this bug?
    Thanks

    Hello Sroye.
    I have been struckling with the same problem. Copying large data amounts between my MacBook and my Airdisk works perfectly (though slowly).
    But copying data amounts larger than about 300MB from my XP to my airdisk suddenly stops with the error you get. Hereafter I cannot access the airdisk until I have re-started both my AEBS and my 500GB LaCie HFS+ formatted disk drive.
    I use the new 7.1.1 firmware version in my AEBS.
    Have you solved your problem?

  • Universal App: no Application Insights for Windows Phone 8.1 project

    I just created an universal app and installed the Application Insights Tools for Visual Studio extension. It was easy to add AI for the Windows 8.1 project. Unfortunately there is no "Add Application Insights Telemetry to project..." command for
    the Windows Phone 8.1 project. Am I missing something? What might be wrong?
    Thanks
    Hans-Peter

    Officially yes, but you should be able to get it to work:
    • Add Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.WindowsPhone package to the “Phone” project.
    • Add Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.WindowsStore package to the “Store” project.
    • Add <InstrumentationKey/> element to the ApplicationInsights.config files in both Phone and Store projects with the actual instrumentation key of your app. You need to decide whether you want to use single key for both windows and phone apps or separate
    keys.
    • Create a new instance of the TelemetryContext class in the App class in the Shared project and store it in a public static variable for use by the rest of the code in the universal project.

  • Windows 7 with SharePoint 2013 Foundation and Visual Studio 2013

    Hi,
    I am begginer with Sharepoint 2013 Foundation. 
    My company installed Sharepoint 2013 Foundation on a virtual Server. I installed
    Visual Studio 2013 on my local computer. Also i created a developer site.
    Based on http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/jj220047(v=office.15).aspx#RDOverview I installed Office
    Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2013 on my local computer. 
    I am trying to remotely develop apps
    with Visual Studio 2013. In the option What SharePoint site do you want to use for debugging your App? i put the url
    of developer site.
    First of all, i had to choose if the apps will be SharePoint-hosted or Provider-hosted apps. Based on http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/fp142379(v=office.15).aspx and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/fp142381(v=office.15).aspx,
    i decided to followed SharePoint-hosted because is the only type that applies to SharePoint 2013 Foundation.
    I followed the steps of http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/fp142379(v=office.15).aspx, which is the quide for How to:Create a basic SharePoint-hosted app. In Step 10 for deploy my app i get the following error: 
    Error occurred in deployment step 'Install app for SharePoint': Failed to install app for SharePoint. Please see the output window for details.
    What is the problem?
    Also, the visual studio need to be installed on the server where sharepoint was installed?
    Moreover, do I need app catalog for testing and deploy apps?
    thanks, Aphrodite

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you have an issue about creating app.
    Per my knowledge, the issue is caused that you don’t configure the app catalog URLs from the central administration.
    It means that we should create an App site catalog site collection to hold our Apps.
