.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / Setup / January 2006Problems in installing VSTO 2005
Hi, I am having Office 2003. I have installed Publisher, Project, Frontpage, Infopath and Visio apart from the regulars like Word, Outlook, Excel, Access, Powerpoint. When I tried to install VSTO 2005, it said I have not added SP1 for Office. I tried to install SP1 and SP2 for Office. Some components could be installed while some could not. It said the file OWC11.MSI (Office for web components) is needed from the CD. I found that this file is present in more than one CD (Frontpage, Project, etc). But the application did not accept any of these. Then I downloaded the full installation file from web (for SP2). I also have the full file for SP1. But they also could upgrade to SP1 and SP2 (for Office 2003) fully. When I tried installing VSTO 2005 again, the same problem persists. It says Office 2003 SP1 is needed. In Office, if I look into the About screen, it says SP2 has been installed. How to solve this and proceed? Anyone has faced similar problem? I am using Win XP SP2. I have VS.NET 2003, VS.NET 2005 and SQL 2005 installed. TIA.

Please let me know if I misunderstood anything here. First please check the Office you installed is professional version. Office 2003 Pro is required by VSTO. Another possible cause is on OtkLoader version. Please try upgrading OtkLoader by running VSTOR.EXE to reinstall VSTO runtime which will upgrade OtkLoader. Please refer to the installation FAQ. 1.3.17 Customers who wish to use Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Microsoft Office projects need to install Office and SP1 before installing Visual Studio Team System The issue is that VSTO 2.0 features require an updated OtkLoader instead of the version that came with Office 2003. When VSTS is installed, the VSTO runtime (which includes the updated OtkLoader) is installed. If Office is present at installation time, OtkLoader is updated and everything will function as expected. However, if Office is not present, OtkLoader cannot be updated. Users must then install Office SP1 and run VSTOR.EXE to update OtkLoader manually. To resolve this issue Run VSTOR.EXE to update the version of OtkLoader.

I found out the hard way that if I install Office 2003 SP2, then VSTO 2005 can not be installed. VSTO looks for Office SP1. Funnily, it does not understand that SP2 contains SP1. There is no uninstall for Office SP2. I did execute VSTOR.EXE file present in the VSTO2005 CD. After that my system started behaving crazy. IE could not be opened, network connections vanished, etc. Finally, I reformatted the system and re-installed everything in the order. Here is the order of installing s/w if you want to install VSTO2005- 1. Win XP SP2 2. VS.NET 2003 (if u want) 3. Office 2003 4. Office 2003 SP1 5. VS 2005 or .NET FW 2.0 6. VSTO 2005 I am going to add SP2 for Office now and let you know if there is any problem with that. In fact, I have not added Infopath, publisher, onenote, visio, project, frontpage, Hindi Office, Kannada and other Indic interfaces, etc, which were present earlier when I had tried VSTO 2005 installation and did not succeed. I will add all of them now and see what happens. Any suggestions or warnings?

For the problem that installing office 2003 SP2 breaks the system, we tested the same and didn't reproduce it yet. I searched our internal database. There is no such error report before. So we are waiting here for your further response on the test result. If you still met this problem, please feel free to post here and we will see how to go further together. Thanks very much.
