Question

I have a development environment set up in VMWare - host OS is Windows 7 x64, guest OS is Windows Server 2008 r2. Browser used by both OS is IE 9 32 bit, addons enabled, intranet comptability mode disabled. Whenever i invoke an action in the Sharepoint 2010-s UI, that has a dependency on the Office 2010 client app, for example editing a libraries document, prior to opening the document, the office crashes:

enter image description here

However editing and creating documents on the Guest's SPWeb (?) works fine on the Host OS, which has the exact same version of office installed, 32 bit Office 2010 Plus.

I have already enabled the WebClient windows service on the Guest along with different IE and Office settings (disabled Protected View).

Was it helpful?

Solution

Try deleting OfficeFileCache folder which is located at : c:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\14.0\OfficeFileCache

OTHER TIPS

You may need to enable the Desktop Experience Windows feature on the server OS.
