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!

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.

MS Project 2013 Trial Download not visible in installed programs and thus can't open

I've consulted other posts however answer is not listed. I have followed the instructions to download the file. I've downloaded the 64-bit file and selected Open application on download however nothing happens. I've gone to my Control Panel
and Project 2013 is NOT listed. I've searched for Project 2013 in the start up menu to no avail.
Can anyone advise how I can get the software installed on my laptop? The fact it states the application has downloaded but it's not visible as a downloaded file is driving me crazy.
Please help
Marisa

Hello Marisa,
When you download the trial, it downloads the image file by name ProjectProfessional_x64_en-us.img
Do you see this file under your download folder? If yes, then you have downloaded the trial software successfully.
As a next step, you need to extract .img into a directory using any tools that unzip the .img format (e.g., 7-zip
http://www.7-zip.org/ ) and then install from it by running setup.exe.
Hope this helps.
Thank you,

Need to deploy both Visio and Project 2010 by GPO

I'm looking for a way to deploy Visio and Project 2010 to selected users without SCCM.
I tried a logon script based on the one Microsoft posted as a sample in Technet and it worked for some users, but is unreliable. When the users need both Visio and Project, it would error out because it says 2 setup files can't run at the same time.
So, I set a GPO for logon scripts to run synchronously and it worked for some users, but others would get a black screen at logon that would hang forever. Seems to me this is UAC interference with no UAC prompt being popped up. When the script
was disabled, they could log on normally.
I thought of startup scripts, but that does not show the user that the software is installing, so they think their computer is stuck booting.
What are solutions?

This is the login script I'm using for Visio 2010. I just substitute the work Visio for Project to make a login script for Visio.
It works but the part where it is supposed to recognize that the product is already installed and not install again doesn't work. can you see an error or other reason why?

Viso only runs under Windows, so you'd first have to install Windows, either using Boot Camp or a virtual machine, then purchase Viso. Or, you can purchase this to deal with Viso files:

"Please install iLife '08 before installing iMovie HD 6"

Quite awhile ago(A couple of months) I experienced hard drive troubles and had to go to the Apple store to get a new one. I had iLife '08 on there before I got a new had drive, and iMovie 6 worked fine. But now when I try to reinstall iMovie 6, it gives me the message "Please install iLife ’08 before installing iMovie HD 6"
Is there a way to redownload iLife?

Do you still have the OS disks that came with your Mac? If it originally came with iLife 08, they are on one of the disks.

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.

SP2013 and Project 2013 - project files open in read-only mode with no options to edit only Save As

Hi all,
Environment:
SharePoint 2013 (15.0.4420.1017) RTM
Windows 8 - Project 2013 (15.0.4433.1506) 32Bit
Issue details:
When opening .mpp files stored within SharePoint they are opened successfully within Project 2013 however they are opened in Read-Only mode with no options to edit/check out only Save As. The
same outcome is experienced if you click the document link within SharePoint or you chose to edit from the document menu.
Opening the file through windows explorer also opens only in read-only mode.
To date we’ve tested the following
Windows 7 – Office 2010 = working as expected
Windows 8 – Office 2010 = working as expected
Windows 7 – Office 2013 = opening as read only, no prompt to edit
Windows 8 – Office 2013 – opening as read only, no prompt to edit
Current thinking is that it is an issue with either the SharePoint Office Documents Class ActiveX control or Project 2013 itself interacting with SharePoint 2013.
We have tested this in multiple SP2013 environments with the same outcomes.
The workaround therefore is to save locally and then upload again which is not ideal.
Unable to find an exact issue match to this.
Any help with this appreciated.

Hi Dan,
For us after investigating this further it was found that using the document menu to edit or checkout and then edit results in the project file being opened in read-only mode.
The same issue was present for Visio files.
Using the FILES ribbon menu results in the document being opened in edit mode successfully in both Project and Visio.
Please note that we found that this issue only exists within document libraries where checkout is required to edit which was our case. If checkout is not required the document
menu can also be used as expected.
Cheers,
Dan

I installed windows 8 before installing Boot Camp 5(currently have 4) with 32 bit version win 8. Anything I can do now to upgrade to Boot Camp 5?. .

I installed Windows 8-32 bit before installing Boot Camp 5 (currently have 4). Is there anything I can do now to install Boot Camp 5 then re-install Windows with the 64 bit version?
I am hoping that I do not need to delete the partition and start all over.

Boot Camp 5 drivers can only be installed in 64-bit Windows 7 and 8 versions, so first you have to install a 64-bit Windows 8 version.
Note that Microsoft doesn't support upgrades from a 32-bit Windows to a 64-bit version, so you have to do a clean install, losing your applications, but you can keep your data, stored in "Windows.old", a folder at the root level of your Windows volume. Insert your Windows 8 DVD, hold the C key while your computer is starting and install Windows in the Windows partition.
After installing Windows 8, install the Windows support software for 64-bit Windows 7 and 8 versions

Office 365 Midsize Business and Project 2013 Standard (Retail)

Hi,
Can someone explain to me how to install Project Standard 2013 (retail version) alongside Office 365 Midsize Business.
I either get installation errors - "Something went wrong......" or activation errors whereby the activation code seems to be accepted (green tick) but I am then asked to link it to an email account which won't work as it is a retail version.

Hi,
"Office 365" refers to subscription plans that include access to Office applications plus other productivity services that are enabled over the Internet (cloud services), such as Lync web conferencing and Exchange Online hosted email for business,
and additional online storage with OneDrive and Skype world minutes for home.
You can refer to this FAQ link below, find more in the section "What is Office 365? How is it different from Microsoft Office":

SCCM 2012 R2 Reports not activate Value button and not showing Visio and Project products

Hello,
I have experiencing some problems with SCCM reports
1) In some of the reports the "Values" button is disabled and because of that I can not select the name of a specific computer, the reports I've noticed that are relating to Specific Computers
2) The other problem is that when reviewing a software inventory report on a specific computer, Visio nor the Project of Microsoft Office does not appear , which itself can be seen from the Resource Browser
I will appreciate it very much to help me to solve these drawbacks presented in the reports of SCCM 2012 R2.
Thanks in advance.

Manuel´s Microsoft Forums Threads

open the report in the report builder tool (in the console, right click and edit. From the reports web page you can click the drop down and choose open with report builder) and examine the query that is being used to populate the computername
values list. You should be able to run that query from the report builder utility to see if anything is being returned. For the report you mention, there is no query to bring back computer names. In report builder, in the left hand menu, open the parameters
folder, then right click @variable from the list and open the properties. Go to the available values item in the menu of the properties window and notice that the available values is set to none, not get values from a query. That is why you can't click on
Values in the SSRS report and get a list of computer Names. You could add a query into the report and save the report if you really want a drop down list of all computer names. I would save the report with a different name if I were to take that approach,
it is not a good practice to modify the built in reports.
Regarding the applications you are not seeing, you will have to look at the query contained in the report, and determine if that query is targeting the same view or data that you were looking at using resource explorer. Which category within resource
explorer were you seeing the information you were expecting to see in this report? You can use report builder to see that the report you are looking at is calling a function to return the software titles, and that function looks to be based on the v_gs_softwareproduct
view. If you were looking at software files or add/remove programs within the resource viewer, you won't necessarily see the same information in the report, since the report is reading a different view.
I hope this info will help you to troubleshoot report quirks. SCCM 2012 reporting is a world apart from SCCM 2007 reporting. There are alot more stored procedures and functions used in SCCM 2012, and even a dll file on the reporting point that is required
for some (most) of the reports!

Windows 8.1 x64 Smart Search Outlook and OneNote 2013(x32) not returning results

Is the 8.1 Smart Search([windows-key]-type) supposed to return results from Outlook and/or OneNote?
I am using Exchange Cached mode for Outlook if that matters.
I have done the following to try and get results to show up:
control panel...Indexing Options...Advanced...File Types...Index Properties and File Contents
used indexing troubleshooter which found no problems
control panel...Indexing Options...Advanced...Rebuild...
used scanpst to scan my ost and make repairs.
checked and unchecked Outlook and OneNote within index properties
tried to go to C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\username.ost properties...advanced...checked allow this file to have contents indexed. Except the next time i start outlook the check mark goes away.
verified .pst , .ost and .pst files are all in the index service...file types... list
Search within Outlook itself works just fine and quickly, but i would like to be able to search from the "Smart Search". File name search is flawless.
If it isn't supported, why is it in the indexing options that clearly work for smart search settings because I also added a location for searching where file names search works just fine(although it does seem the contents of excel/word files are
not being indexed, but the index might still be rebuilding)
Any help would keep some hair on my head.
Thanks

Hi,
It seems that the smart search can't search the content in outlook and OneNote.
blogs.technet.com/b/daanish/archive/2014/03/19/windows-8-101-smart-search.aspx
The reason why Outlook and OneNote appears in the Index option tab is that Outlook and OneNote need the Windows search to help index the content in Outlook and OneNote, if we remote the outlook and onenote from Index Option tab, the search function in the
Outlook and OneNote may not works.
Also, smart search main focus on Settings , files, web Images, web Videos which we can select above the search box. Another reason we suspect the design for this is the consideration for security, if we can search the emails in the smart search, that
maybe some programs can access the content in Outlook and OneNote without authentication .
Hope the information above help.
Best Regards,
Jason Zeng

How to silent uninstall 5.5 before installing 6 using AAMEE?

Hello -
We are a school moving from Master Collection 5.5 to Master Collection 6. When I installed 5.5, I used the Adobe Application Manager, and I'll be doing the same for 6. I'd like to uninstall 5.5 first to avoid any confusion by students/teachers, so there is only one version on the machine. I'm deploying with a KBOX 1000, probably using using a file share. Win 7 to several hundred machines.
In my KBOX managment utility, I found this for an uninstall command:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\core\PDApp.exe --appletID="DWA_UI" --appletVersion="1.0" --mode="Uninstall" --mediaSignature="{D57FC112-312E-4D70-860F-2DB8FB6858F0}"
I found this to work, except it's not silent. It brings up a screen where I have to press Uninstall.
I need a silent uninstaller, so I can run the 5.5 uninstaller, then run my 6 installer, all within a couple of nice and tidy batch files that I can push out.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Carl Sundermann

Hi Carl,
Did you use AAMEE to deploy your payloads on machine? We recommend using AAMEE for enterprise deployment/uninstallation. this will enable silent deployment and uinstallation of products.
you can download AAMEE and its documentation from http://www.adobe.com/devnet/creativesuite/enterprisedeployment.html
you can also clean up CS55 installed products silently - use cleanup utility. please download cleanup utility from http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
refer to page 5 of cleanup utility documentation (embedded in dmg/zip) for silent launch of this utility.
thanks,

Firefox will not open, try to reinstall and message states firefox must be closed before install can begin.

firefox will not open. when i try to reinstall firefox the process stops. the message tells me to close firefox before i can proceed. but firefox is not running.

Prez,
I too have had this problem a few times with several different versions of FF.
What you need to do is to open a window to Task Manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del) and on the 'Processes' tab look down the list for Firefox, highlight the entry, then click "End Process". Accept the warning that pops up. You should then be able to uninstall.
