XML (BI) Publisher desktop plug-in installation error

I'm trying to install Oracle XML Publisher Desktop 5.5 plug-in on Windows Vista OS. Installation fails with the following error message - "Word application is running. Please close Word application and retry installation", even though no Word application is running on the system during the setup (not even Outlook).
Location C:\Program Files\Oracle\XML Publisher Desktop shows only 3/5 folders namely demos, samples and Word Template Builder with 'TemplateBuilder.dot' file missing in the Word Template Builder (due to unsuccessful installation).
I've tried to remove these files and reinstall again but to no success. I'm not sure if this is a bug or anything, your help with a resolution of this problem will be greatly appreciated.
More info:
Windows Vista OS
Microsoft Office Word 2007 SP2
Oracle XML Publisher Desktop 5.5

Clear the registry and remove any references of the XML publisher add-on. You can try using a s/w called 'CCleaner' to do this

  • BI Publisher desktop in MS word ( error when preview ) Java class not find

    The problem is:
    open MS Word
    Log on successfully to Oracle BI in the MS Word with the desktop add-in
    Successfully access to the Answer's request results and get the field to rtf template.
    Pressing preview
    Error is shown as below:
    Error No: 53
    Desc: File not found
    Please confirm that
    1) Java runtime version is 1.3 or later is installed correctly
    2) The Java executable is accessible through the Windows Path or the Java Home directory is entered in the Preview tab of the options dialog
    User then download JRE 1.5 to test again, but the problem is still here.
    Strangely, this problem only happened in some users' desktop / notebooks.
    Could anyone help to solve this problem?

    Very useful answer. Thank you. I changed C:\Program Files\Java\jre6 to C:\Program Files\Java\jre7 and it worked perfectly. I guess my issue was caused by the fact that I upgraded Java from 6 to 7. --Harry                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

  • BI Publisher Desktop - MS Word giving error!!!

    HI Experts,
    I am following BI Publisher 'Getting started' article on Oracle site. In on of the step it asks to open BI Publisher report into MS word. When I did this it give an error.
    Article link: http://st-curriculum.oracle.com/obe/fmw/bi/biee/r1013/bipub/intro/gettingstarted.htm
    Error screen shot:

    Do I need to configure some parameters in MS word?? Please help me at this point.
    Thanks in advance,
    DK

    I am going on the assumption that the report in Answers has some type of parameters. By parameters I mean that a prompt, server, or presenation variable is used to run the report in answers.
    The word add on can not handle bi answers reports with parameters.
    But you are in luck as uncle Danscan has already handled this problem. You won't find it explained anywhere else.
    Step One: Create a non-parameterized version the BI Answers report. Basically hard code values in the report. And save that version of the report. Keep your orginal version as you will need that later.
    Step Two: Link Publisher with the non-parameterized version of the report.
    Step Three: Open word and load up the data as you would expect to do.
    Step Four: Create the report template by adding in the table, fields, and other stuff. Once its is setup it is time to test it.
    Step Five: Open BI Answers. ( I am assuming that both Publisher and Answers are loaded together in the Enterprise way. If you are unsure click on the more products link next to the Answers link in the BI Dashboard/Answers tool. Publisher should be available). Go to the dashboard that you want to run the publisher tool from. This should have the same prompt as the original BI Answers reports have. You will need these prompts in a second.
    Step Six: Test the publisher report. If everything looks good we can move onto the final step. If not reopen word adjust, upload, test etc.
    Step Seven: Go into publisher and change the Reports in the Data model to the versions with parameters. (At this point you can not open the online template again till the reports are switched back. You can do some fancy hacking to get it to work, but that is a trick for another post)
    Step Eight: Open BI Answers/Dashboards and test your new publisher report out.
    Step Nine: Question your sanity after all of these steps.
    Good luck and I will offer any help I can.

  • XML Publisher Desktop 5.6.2 Installation Error

    I down loaded the desktop version. when I install it, it pops up a dialog
    "Word application is running. please close word application and retry installation"
    then, it stops installation.
    But I did not have word application open, only installation is running.
    Is this a bug, or I am missing some thing?

    I tried to install versions 5.5 and 5.6.2 of XML Publisher Desktop and I consistenly get an "unexpected error during configuration" at the end of the installation. The word process wasn't running while I was running the setup (and outlook neither).

  • PeopleSoft XML Publisher Desktop installation issue

    Hi,
    I've tried to install the XML publisher desktop desing helper.
    I've installed it without error. But when i open the Office word program, it didn't show up the Template Builder menu on office tool bar.
    I've tried to do the following:
    1. Set the trust center setting in word option, Marco is all enabled, and the VBA project is checked.
    2. Close the Microsfot program, IE, Word, etc.
    3. Close the MSN Messager program
    4. Uninstall the MSN Live
    5. Then I re-run the installation file of XMLp several times to re-install it.
    After that, i still can not find any menu tool bar named "Templdate Builder" in word program.
    During the installation, there's no error, the install process is smoothly ended, but in the word program there's no menu for Template Builder.
    The version of Microsoft Word is 2007, and the version of XMLp Design helper for Word is 5.6.2, and the Java JRE version is 1.6.07.
    Please help on figuring this!
    Thanks,
    Saxon SI

    Hi:
    Check for Add-Ins in Word Options. Make sure that TemplateBuilder.dot is active; and look for 'Add-Ins' menu on your document. XML Publisher menus will be visible on that tab.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Sameer.

    I had a similar error which when I searched, came up with this thread.
    My issue was resolved after I discovered that my RTF template was not really RTF. It was sill in MS Word DOC format. This was discovered by reviewing two templates in NOTEPAD. The MS-DOC files have a lot of "special" characters in them. My RTF was not really RTF.
    After doing a SAVE AS - RTF format, then the preview worked as expected.

  • Oracle BI Publisher Desktop Installation Error

    Here is the answer from MOS to the thread Oracle BI Publisher Desktop Installation Error...
    -- Symptoms
    When attempting to install BI Publisher Desktop 11g (11.1.1.6.0) for 32-bit Office on Windows 7 64-bit. During the installation process, the following error message displays and the installation fails:
    Please make sure JRE version 1.6 or later is installed
    Java JRE 6 update 32 is installed on this PC; no other Java versions are installed.
    -- Cause
    Bug 14091878: ERROR WITH BIPUBLISHERDESKTOP32.EXE INSTALLATION
    BIP Desktop installer might be corrupt
    -- Solution
    Complete the following steps:
        Download the offline installer for Java from this page:
        http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
        Make sure to download both Windows Offline (32-bit) and Windows Offline (64-bit).
        In Windows, go to the Control Panel --> Programs and Features.
        From the list of installed programs, uninstall all Java / JDK programs from your PC (both 32-bit and 64-bit)
        Reboot the PC
        Install the Java Windows Offline (32-bit)
        Install the Java Windows Offline (64-bit)
        Reboot the PC
        Install Oracle BI Publisher Desktop

    hi,
       I have the installed the same BI Publisher Desktop 11g (11.1.1.6.0) of 32 bit for Windows 7 64-bit. Just add the below code in your configuration setting file of your oracle BI publisher standalone(server side)-> install-> there you can find a file called oraparam.ini (its a configuration settings file).
    code is
    [Certified Versions]
    #You can customise error message shown for failure, provide value for CERTIFIED_VERSION_FAILURE_MESSAGE
    Windows=4.0,5.0,5.1,5.2,6.0,6.1
    [Windows-5.2-optional]
    [Windows-6.1-required]
    # Minimum display colours for OUI to run
    MIN_DISPLAY_COLORS = 256
    # Minimum CPU speed required for OUI
    # CPU = 300
    Red mark is the code which you need to add in the configuration file. black marked code is the code which already exiting in the file.
    add this code before installing the desktop. then try to install. this time the software will install successfully.

  • Error installing BI Publisher Desktop in Windows 7 64bits with Office 2010

    Hello
    I'm having a problem when trying to install the latest version of BI Publisher Desktop on my computer (Windows 7-64bits with Office 2010).
    Almost at the end of the installation it appears a message box saying "Template Builder installer failed: Cannot run installer while Mocrosoft Word is running". Now, i made sure all Office apps are closed, as well as IE windows. What i've noticed is that right before this error appears, a process for WINWORD.exe is open - by the installer.
    How can i fix this?
    Many thanks for your replies

    I've tried runnig the installer with Windows XP SP3 compatibility and it worked.

  • Some RTF commands not working in Oracle XML Publisher Desktop 5.6.3

    Hello,
    I am using Oracle XML Publisher Desktop 5.6.3 (Patch 5887917) and seems like some of the RTF command are not working. I am following Tim Dexter's blog (http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2007/10/here_are_my_terms_conditions.html ) and could not make the "new" commands from his blog, work in my template.
    <?section:force-page-count;'end-on-even-layout'?> -- even with this on the template, I'm still getting output with odd total numpages
    <?section:xdofo:blank-on;'even-skip-page-count'?> -- cannot suppress the NUMPAGES value of MS Word
    Do I need to apply additional patch(es) on top of Patch 5887917 for the MS Word add-on? Could you please tell me what am I missing?
    Thanks.

    1.) I uninstalled XML Desktop via the XP control panel...
    2.) BIP Desktop would not install and indicated I had 'not' uninstalled my previous ver of XML Pub...
    3.) I reinstalled XML Desktop and then used Oracle's setup.exe included with XML Publisher Desktop to UNinstall XML Desktop...
    4.) BIP Desktop still would not install and indicated I had not removed my previous ver of XML Publisher Desktop...
    5.) I reinstalled XML Desktop AGAIN and then used Oracle's setup.exe to UNinstall XML Desktop, 'again'...
    6.) BIP Desktop still would not install and indicated I had not removed my previous ver of XML Pub...
    7.) I went through the reg. and attempted to remove all traces of XML Pub. And BI Publisher...
    8.) BIP still will not install and complains that I have XML Pub installed.
    Like us all, I have deadlines…
    So, any help simply INSTALLING the tool would be much appreciated.
