Several years ago Microsoft published Office 2010 Starter. Office 2010 Starter was a free Office 2010, however some functions were disabled. It installed only Microsoft Word and Excel and showed Microsoft advertisments during use. Microsoft Starter 2010 works with a virtualization technology like V-App. It does not really install Office on your computer, but a virtualized office (like Office in a virtual machine). To do this it creates a drive Q: which is not user accessable . If you are using drive Q: already, Office 2010 Starter won't work. Office 2010 Starter could be installed using a setup (SetupConsumerC2ROLW.exe) which downloaded the installation files from internet. Sometime around 2012, Microsoft pulled the plug, so the installation files couldn't be downloaded anymore. A few days ago, I found the old executable and behold, I got it working again on my old computer with Windows 10 installed. So Microsoft quietly activated the Office 2010 Starter files again, but will they pull the plug again in the near future ? I found out that if the installation files are available locally, the setup won't need internet during the installation. However the setup does not keep the files after installation, so I had to figure out how to get the installation files together locally. Monitoring the installation I got some partial information how to download all the installation files needed. This information was used to create the Office 2010 Starter downloader v1.0. Be ware, this script works as is. Not a lot of error checking has been put in place. E.g. I do not check for downlad errors, but every language folder should be about 700 - 900 MB. You are allowed to use this script in anyway execept asking money for it. In return, I ask you to donate at least € 1 or $1 to an organization against cancer in your country.

Greetings all, I have an app that runs fine in windows 7 but not windows 10. issue : when entering the filename to save, it enters it into the saveAs dialog box, but Office still tries to save as "Diagram1" or "Presentation1" $FileError = "" MonitorProcess2("VISIO") _DebugOut("Visio Done") MonitorProcess2("POWERPNT") _debugOut("Powerpoint Done") CloseSave($FileSavePathName, $SaveAsWindow) _DebugOut("Saved and closed Powerpoint") _VSO_DocumentSave($objVisioFile) while not _VSO_DocumentSaved($objVisioFile) WEnd _VSO_VisioClose($objVisioFile) _DebugOut("Saved and closed Visio") else _DebugOut("Filename Does not exist = "& $FilePathName) EndIf the monitor process2 just makes sure the processes are complete before trying to save the files. The closeSave function is below, but since I am opening the file with the proper name, this is not an issue func CloseSave($SaveFile, $SaveAsWindow) _DebugOut("Save File ") _DebugOut($SaveFile) send("!{F4}") send ("!S") $title = WinGetTitle("[ACTIVE]") _DebugOut("WINDOW - current window is Powerpoint to enter filename " & $title) while not ($title = $SaveAsWindow) $title = WinGetTitle("[ACTIVE]") wend ControlSetText ($SaveAsWindow,"","[CLASS:Edit; INSTANCE:1]",$SaveFile) send ("!S") $title = WinGetTitle("[ACTIVE]") while not StringInStr($title,"Visio") $title = WinGetTitle("[ACTIVE]") wend EndFunc
