Planning for Using App-V with Office

  • Makale

Güncelleştirme: Aralık 2014

Uygulama Alanı: Application Virtualization 5.0, Application Virtualization 5.0 SP1, Application Virtualization 5.0 SP2, Application Virtualization 5.0 SP3

Use the following information to plan how to deploy Office by using App-V. This article includes:

  • App-V support for Language Packs

  • Supported versions of Microsoft Office

  • Planning for using App-V with coexisting versions of Office

  • How Office integrates with Windows when you use App-V to deploy Office

App-V support for Language Packs

You can use the App-V 5.0 Sequencer to create plug-in packages for Language Packs, Language Interface Packs, Proofing Tools and ScreenTip Languages. You can then include the plug-in packages in a Connection Group, along with the Office 2013 package that you create by using the Office Deployment Toolkit. The Office applications and the plug-in Language Packs interact seamlessly in the same connection group, just like any other packages that are grouped together in a connection group.

Not

Microsoft Visio and Microsoft Project do not provide support for the Thai Language Pack.

Planning for using App-V with coexisting versions of Office

You can install more than one version of Microsoft Office side by side on the same computer by using “Microsoft Office coexistence.” You can implement Office coexistence with combinations of all major versions of Office and with installation methods, as applicable, by using the Windows Installer-based (MSi) version of Office, Click-to-Run, and App-V 5.0 SP2. However, using Office coexistence is not recommended by Microsoft.

Microsoft’s recommended best practice is to avoid Office coexistence completely to prevent compatibility issues. However, when you are migrating to a newer version of Office, issues occasionally arise that can’t be resolved immediately, so you can temporarily implement coexistence to help facilitate a faster migration to the latest product version. Using Office coexistence on a long-term basis is never recommended, and your organization should have a plan to fully transition in the immediate future.

Before you implement Office coexistence

Before implementing Office coexistence, review the following Office documentation. Choose the article that corresponds to the newest version of Office for which you plan to implement coexistence.

Office version Link to guidance

Office 2013

Information about how to use Office 2013 suites and programs (MSI deployment) on a computer that is running another version of Office

Office 2010

Information about how to use Office 2010 suites and programs on a computer that is running another version of Office

The Office documentation provides extensive guidance on coexistence for Windows Installer-based (MSi) and Click-to-Run installations of Office. This App-V topic on coexistence supplements the Office guidance with information that is more specific to App-V deployments.

Supported Office coexistence scenarios

The following tables summarize the supported coexistence scenarios. They are organized according to the version and deployment method you’re starting with and the version and deployment method you are migrating to. Be sure to fully test all coexistence solutions before deploying them to a production audience.

Not

Microsoft does not support the use of multiple versions of Office in Windows Server environments that have the Remote Desktop Session Host role service enabled. To run Office coexistence scenarios, you must disable this role service.

Windows integrations & Office coexistence

The Windows Installer-based and Click-to-Run Office installation methods integrate with certain points of the underlying Windows operating system. When you use coexistence, common operating system integrations between two Office versions can conflict, causing compatibility and user experience issues. With App-V, you can sequence certain versions of Office to exclude integrations, thereby “isolating” them from the operating system.

  Mode in which App-V can sequence this version of Office

Office 2007

Always non-integrated. App-V does not offer any operating system integrations with a virtualized version of Office 2007.

Office 2010

Integrated and non-integrated mode.

Office 2013

Always integrated. Windows operating system integrations cannot be disabled.

Microsoft recommends that you deploy Office coexistence with only one integrated Office instance. For example, if you’re using App-V to deploy Office 2010 and Office 2013, you should sequence Office 2010 in non-integrated mode. For more information about sequencing Office in non-integration (isolated) mode, see How to sequence Microsoft Office 2010 in Microsoft Application Virtualization 5.0.

Known limitations of Office coexistence scenarios

The following sections describe some issues that you might encounter when using App-V to implement coexistence with Office.

Limitations common to all App-V Office coexistence scenarios

Common coexistence issues Description

32-bit & 64-bit Office coexistence

You cannot run the 64-bit version of Office when a 32-bit version of Office is installed on the same computer.

  • A 32-bit version can coexist only with other 32-bit versions.

  • A 64-bit version can coexist only with other 64-bit versions.

Multiple versions of Outlook

You cannot run Outlook side by side with another version of Outlook on the same computer. Select only one version of Outlook and disable the other.

Once the Outlook profile has been upgraded to a newer version, you cannot return to an older version of Outlook until you remove the existing profile and rebuild for the down-level version.

Opening Office files in Microsoft Windows Explorer

If you are using coexistence, and you open an Office file by double-clicking the file in Windows Explorer or by clicking the file in the Recent Documents folder in Windows, the file opens in the version of the Office application that was most recently installed/repaired (Windows Installer-based or Click-to-Run) or published (App-V).

To associate the opening of files with a different version of Office:

  • For the Windows Installer-based version of Office, run the Office Setup program and then click Repair Office.

  • For Click-to-Run Office, run the Office Setup program and click Quick Repair.

  • For App-V Office, republish the package for the desired version.

Limitations common to Windows Installer-based/Click-to-Run and App-V Office coexistence scenarios

The following limitations can occur when you install the following versions of Office on the same computer:

  • Office 2010 by using the Windows Installer-based version

  • Office 2013 by using App-V

Limitations common to Windows Installer-based/Click-to-Run and App-V Office coexistence scenarios

The following limitations can occur when you install the following versions of Office on the same computer:

  • Office 2010 by using the Windows Installer-based version

  • Office 2013 by using App-V

After you publish Office 2013 by using App-V side by side with an earlier version of the Windows Installer-based Office 2010 might also cause the Windows Installer to start. This is because the Windows Installer-based or Click-to-Run version of Office 2010 is trying to automatically register itself to the computer.

To bypass the auto-registration operation for native Word 2010, follow these steps:

  1. Exit Word 2010.

  2. Start the Registry Editor by doing the following:

    • In Windows 7: Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press Enter.

    • In Windows 8, type regedit press Enter on the Start page and then press Enter.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Continue.

  3. Locate and then select the following registry subkey:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Word\Options

  4. On the Edit menu, click New, and then click DWORD Value.

  5. Type NoReReg, and then press Enter.

  6. Right-click NoReReg and then click Modify.

  7. In the Valuedata box, type 1, and then click OK.

  8. On the File menu, click Exit to close Registry Editor.

How Office integrates with Windows when you use App-V to deploy Office

When you deploy Office 2013 by using App-V, Office is fully integrated with the operating system, which provides end users with the same features and functionality as Office has when it is deployed without App-V.

The Office 2013 App-V package supports the following integration points with the Windows operating system:
