Opening office documents in SP Library crashes in (VM) WServer08 R2, but works fine on host
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:
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).
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.
