Opening files via Edit Online / Windows 7

[bengrah]

Hi all

We're doing some testing with Windows 7. Specifically using Edit Online on documents with Office 2010. Originally we used Office XP which has been working fine so far. When we click Edit Online, generally you get a prompt stating  where you are downloading it from, followed by the file being opened via Alfresco WebDAV.

However when we try using Edit on .doc, .ppt  and .xls files, the appropriate Office application opens, but it does not open the file within it. So we click Edit Online, Microsoft Word opens up with no document within. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Ben.

I'll updated this just in case anyone runs into this issue themselves.

We had to apply a registry key to force Office 2010 use basic (unencrypted) authentication. Create a key called "BasicAuthLevel" DWORD = 2 (hex) in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\Internet

Thanks for the follow-up; I'll inform our documentation team.

Modifying the registry with the following keys:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters\BasicAuthLevel" 2
“HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Internet\BasicAuthLevel” 2
