Office 2019

Has anyone been successful yet installing Office 2019 using App Volumes? I know it's not technically supported yet but I figured I'd see if anyone has been successful despite not having official support. Thanks.

So wanting to deploy an appstack with Office 2019 on it? Or having a golden image with 2019 on it and how it interfaces with app volumes?

Bump.

Finding it impossible to get Visio and Project functioning alongside Office 2019 - very little info out there as to why.

Have tried installing Office2019 in the build, as well as via a stack and while it mostly functions, Project and Visio are the main fight.

Windows 10 (1809)

Appvols 2.18

UEM 9.6.855

Horizon 7.7

I am having the same issue

Windows 1809

Appvol 2.18

Horizon 7.10

Have Office 2019 in the build which works fine but when you do a volume for Visio/Project 2019.

Error we get is

We're sorry but Project/Visio has run into an error that is preventing it from working correctly. Project will need to be closed as a result.

Would you like to repair now

Do the repair and still have the same error ?

Any ideas

We place office in the build that works.

Visio and Project don’t which suck

they currently work on the older version of office eg 2016 but you cant have office 2019 in the build and Visio/Project 2016/2019 work with it really annoying.

There is a KB out there that says Office 2019 only works with AppVols4.x and above.

I HAD Project and Visio 2019 working as an AppVol in 4.x.  However, since the June 2022 OS and Office updates, I am now getting the same "We're sorry, but Project has run into an error..." on launch.  Capture was successful and the app ran on the capture box.  Just not after an attachment.

Project/Visio will open in safe mode.

This is getting annoying.  The error started with 2019 and Microsoft's new deployment/update methodology for Office.

On a side note.  I just had a new user assigned Visio and it worked.  The people already provisioned still can't use Visio or Project but this new guy can.

I'm thinking it is a DEM issue.  Food for thought.

Hi,

On which version of AppVolumes are you trying to package Office 2019?
