I'm trying to configure MSOffice 2016(x64) on a Windows Server 2012(x64) to run with ABCPdf 9.1.2.5(x64).

At runtime, the application fails because of this message: "Failed to get MS Office installation path."

So far I couldn't find an explicit explanation of why this problem occurs.

The application pool uses the "ApplicationPoolIdentity" (instead of dedicated account) and Office has been installed with an account having Admin privileges.

I also followed recommandation on websupergoo website link here

Machine has been restarted after installation, DCOM config has been made accordingly to instructions given (both for folders and launch/activation);

  • Is there any way to login as Application Pool user in cmd to run WinWord once ?

  • Is there any AppData file to copy from one user to another - like for OpenOffice installation ?

For anyone trying this kind of configuration, please be aware that highest compatible version with AbcPDF is Office 2013. Office 2016 is compatible from version 10.

Below, answer from support

The highest version with ABCpdf 9 is Office 2013 - for Office 2016 you would need to upgrade to ABCpdf 10.

Since office was preinstalled on my laptop, i had to reinstall office 365 through the Office app that was already available.. then abcpdf was able to find my installation path
