Hi.
this has been a nagging issue with a prestine 2010 Upgrade from 2007 ..
some users were getting the error "The Document could not be opened for editing. A Microsoft Sharepoint Foundation compatible application could not be found to Edit the document."
So i searched through all the articles on Google but all of these were for Sharepoint 2007 with office 2007 or earlier, which did not solve my problem ....
So the solution that solved my problem was to enable SharePoint Support features and you do this by going to Control panel => Programs and features => go to the office installation and click "Change" => then change the following feature SharePoint Support features to "Run from my computer".
once this has been done Restart the computer.....
then go to control panel again and run a REPAIR on the office installation......
restart the computer and you should be good to go ....
this is what worked for one of my clients ....
problem is in Internet Explorer 64-bit.
ReplyDeletetry from 32-bit IE and it works fine...!!!
Also check if Office Add-In is not disabled.
ReplyDeleteThe issue is that after 5 years of this complaint, Microsoft still has not even made the 64 bit version of its browser compatible with itself.
