MS Office addins - getting runtime error

I have run the gamut in trying to get the Office and/or Word add-ons to work with Office 2007. I have tried installing the community 3.2 version of Office (and Word), the community 3.2r version of same, and even the labs version. My computer has been updated to the most recent updates as of October 17, 2009 at noon EST. No matter if I run it as Administrator or as the user I am (who has admin rights), when I start Word and check Add-ins, it tells me that the Alfresco Office add-in cannot start because of a runtime error.

I only write this after trying all the other solutions that a Google search (or six) will bring me.

I am testing Alfresco on a home network before deploying it elsewhere, and NEED this Office connectivity before I can okay its use. The important things are:

Server - Ubuntu 9.04 new install followed by how2forge's install script - which installs the Ubuntu Alfresco package (s). There is at least 1 GB of memory available on the server, and connecting to the server via web browser is easy.

Client - XP v.2002 with SP3 on it, and Office 2007 with SP2. All updates have been run, as said above. The computer has a Celeron 2.4GHz chip with 1 GB of memory. Everything else runs perfectly on the client side - except the Alfresco add-in.

Any help?

Did you remember to install the .NET Programmability Support option for Office 2007? Some information here: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Microsoft_Office

Thanks,
Mike

*smacks forehead repeatedly against desk after checking Office 2007*

We'll see in a few minutes if that solved the problem…

…and it's official - I'm an idiot. It works now.

What's annoying is that I read that page you pointed to! Argh!

What's weird now is that I'm getting a connection error - and it looks like CIFS is the problem, from what I can see. I simply can not connect to the server via Windows Explorer, which the notes all seem to say I should be, once Sharepoint connectivity has been added. (WHich is has. Not that dumb … I hope…)
