Office Web Parts in December VPC - How to Fix 'em

  • Article

I have a puzzler for you... Where are the Office Web Parts on the Microsoft CRM Demo VPC? You go to install them and they say they are already installed... What is up with that? So knowing I am NOT a SharePoint Guru, this is the script that works for me... Your results may vary. Start the VPC up, go to a command line and type this:

"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\60\BIN\STSADM.exe" -o addwppack -filename "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\60\WPPACKS\Microsoft.Office.DataParts.cab" -globalinstall -force "

Now go to the Virtual Server Gallery in SharePoint and all of the Web Parts will be there for you to play with.

Enjoy!
