FAQ: Error Popup of Office Installer

Problem

When you open a powerDOCUMENT using document viewer or document editor the Microsoft Office installer pops up and starts running.

Info

powerDOCUMENTS trys to use the HTML-Editor component included in Internet Explorer. All the components needed are already installed on the system (by Internet Explorer). But Microsoft Office does not know about it.

This is a bug in Microsoft Office. See Microsoft Knowledge Base articles Q304107 and Q298110 for more information.

WorkAround 1

The best solution is to let Office Installer install whatever it wants to install, which should solve the problem. If you can't do that (e.g.:, you don't have the Office CD-ROM available), try WorkAround 2.

WorkAround 2

In case you are not able to use WorkAround 1 (e.g.:, you don't have the Office CD-ROM available), Microsoft recommends that you use the registry editor (REGEDIT) to make the contents of following two registry-keys empty (replace it by an empty string):
   HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{438DA5E0-F171-11D0-984E-0000F80270F8}
                           \InprocServer32\InprocServer32
(TriEditDocument Class)
   HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{010E6CBE-FE2B-11D0-B079-006008058A0E}
                           \InprocServer32\InprocServer32
(TriEditParse Class)
