[SOLVED] Can't connect to Alfresco 3.0a from MS Word 2003

[dgenard]

Hi,

I tried to connect to Alfresco Lab 3.0a from Office 2003, but I can't.
I followed instructions from Getting_Started_with_Alfresco_Share_Preview.pdf :

1. Start Microsoft Word.
2. From the File menu, choose Open.
3. In the File name field, type:
“http://[Alfresco instance]/alfresco”

Then MS Word opens the container.jsp page, displaying the alfresco dashboard. Funny, but not what I wanted…

I'd just like to connect to a Shared workspace, using native Office integration. My config : Office 2003 SP3 / Vista.

Does anyone have succeeded to manage this ?

Hi,

I have the same error. I used Alfresco-Labs-3a.1032-Full-Setup.exe for installation. Word only opens the jsp file. Do I have to install more packages? Do we have to configure something??

Make sure the SharePoint protocol bits and pieces are installed - you should see the "module installed" message on server start-up.

You can follow these instructions (on Windows too) to reinstall it:

Ok, it works fine now.
After a complete Alfresco installation on Windows, you just need to run the apply_amps.bat script once.
This will activate the sharepoint emulation module (vti-module.amp).
