ms project 2007 - app-v
Hi. I have been hunting around for a solution but no luck, thus the post. I am trying to install project 2007 std using app-v. i have sequenced it and deployed it through sccm. this works. here'e the problem - when i open project, it launches and give the impression that it works but i get a blank screen. no functions are available. normally you get a gantt chart, you add tasks etc. but nothing. i have re-squenced still no luck. when i sequenced i made sure i launched the app and went through and engaged all the function types available. there is no negitive feedback/logs etc. on the install or deployment. a lot of old posts say that office 2007 cant be done. is this still the case or resolved at some point? help needed. thanks.

When sequencing Office applications you may have to add
<POLICIES>
<LOCAL_INTERACTION_ALLOWED>TRUE</LOCAL_INTERACTION_ALLOWED>
</POLICIES>
to your OSD. For more information check: [link]http://blogs.technet.com/softgrid/archive/2007/09/20/a-look-under-the-covers-the-local-interaction-allowed-tag.aspx[/link]
The MS Project with blank screen problem, was solved by adding this the OSD file.
<POLICIES>
<LOCAL_INTERACTION_ALLOWED>TRUE</LOCAL_INTERACTION_ALLOWED>

still no progress. when trying to launch the software as Guru suggested i get message 'problem with shortcut | this action is only vaild for products that are currently installed'. I am able to install project 2007 std manually on the same test machine, this worked perfect.
i have tried re-sequencing it a number of time, trying different paths - still same result. if i use the q drive the above mentioned problems occurs. if i use the default install path (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office) set using the .exe then i get app-v error 00000002 (suggestion by someone in the office) on attempted launch of the software.
a key point here, that i didnt mention above, is that i am trying to install on Win7. i have check appcompat and no issues are identified - plus the manual install works.

No resolution on my side either.
I have installed the app to the Q:\ drive, launched multiple times during monitoring and during FB1 definition and had no visual issues during sequencing.
I have successfully sequenced Visio Standard 2007 without any issues on this platform.
However when I launch Project, it loads up fine however the gui is a blank screen for the project, I cannot see any of the project views (Gant Chart, Calendar etc)
It lets me switch views but the screen remains blank.
I have run ProcMon.exe inside the bubble but it highlights nothing of any conseqience.
Has anyone come across such an issue previously and what was their solution?

Just narrow the fillter down to msproject.exe and look for a series of entries where it searches for a DLL but the result field only yelds a series of NOT FOUND results. The reason you'll see multiple entries is because Windows will go through it's search paths for the DLL if it cannot locate it in the initial location it tires.

Hi Doc. There are a few write ups that tell you really the same thing - worth a read http://blogs.technet.com/b/appv/archive/2008/07/30/softgrid-sequencing-office-professional-2007-in-30-easy-steps.aspx the sequencing process is stright forward nothing to report other than whats listed in the link. at the end of the sequencing is when you add the element to the OSD file. When are you getting the error and how are you deploying?
At the moment i am trying to resolve a problem when opening a .mpp file (i sequenced project pro) outside of the application. it prompts for project server accounts. click either ok or cancel the file still open. when opening the file in the applicaiton there is no prompt. normal install does not produce this result. has anyone had this problem?

Thanks for the info Lady.D. I had the local_interation_policy added. I rolled back my VM and resequenced the app from scracth. Now when I open the app, after it downloads it immediatly shuts down before the app actually opens. Here's what I have in the Log:
Project began to launched and then immediatly shutdown. Here is the error I get in the sftlog.txt file on the client:[/align] [/align][06/01/2010 14:50:40:946 ???? INF] {tid=1108:usr=User1}

Hello,
I am sequencing project 2010 and have rest of the office 2010 already present on the base build.
I did follow the procedure mentioned above and in the various blogs.
My application is not able to retrieve the product key. when i launch the project 2010 shortcut it aska for product key.
however when i launch the app while sequencing no such message comes up.
kindly suggest where am i missing?
