Returning to 32 bit Presenter (Studio 13)

Hi Laura,

I apologize for the issues that you're having. Although we did add support for Office 64-bit, it didn't impact our existing support of Office 32-bit. Can you please try the following to resolve the issue?

Install VSTO:

Install at least .NET Framework 4.0:

Verify that the Articulate add-in isn't Disabled in PowerPoint:

Hi, Brian!

The link you provided to install VSTO is not working for me. ("The URL may be misspelled or the page you're looking for is no longer available.")

Can you point me to the correct version of VSTO?

.NET Framework 4.0 downloaded correctly.

New info: I actually managed to open PowerPoint even if I can't use it and the Articulate tab is still appearing on the ribbon. And, I got an MSVB error "Run-time error '429': ActiveX component can't create object."

Thanks!

Hi Laura,

Here's the updated link for the VSTO:

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=43664

After you install that, restart your computer.

VSTO installed and computer restarted: I already had .NET 4.5.1 on the machine. Articulate tab still in PPT - and still getting errors.

When I used Task Manager to close out the unresponsive PPT file I got a new MSVB error: " Run-Time error '-536870910(e0000002)': automation error " followed by the "Run-time error '429': ActiveX component can't create object." and a bonus Out of Memory message.

I will try reinstalling Studio and other troubleshooting when I return to the office tomorrow. Got a dinner engagement now.

Thanks for you help thus far - I greatly appreciate it!

Good morning!

I am back up and running. I did a reinstall of Studio 13 and that seems to have fixed the issues. PowerPoint loads as expected with all plugins operating as they should. Presenter 13 is no longer throwing errors.

Thank you once again for all your assistance,

Laura

Thanks for confirming that all is well!
