A couple of days ago I’ve noticed that whenever I was launching any Excel file I was getting an error message like this:

excelerror AppName: excel.exe
AppVer: 11.0.6560.0
AppStamp:4296b6f2
ModName: msvcrt.dll
ModVer: 7.0.2600.2180
ModStamp:41252c84f
Debug:Offset: 00037efb

And the application event log was registering two events:

Event ID: 1000
Source:  Application Error
Type:  Error
Description: Faulting application excel.exe, version 11.0.8169.0, faulting module msvcrt.dll, version 7.0.2600.2180, fault address 0×00037efb.

Microsoft Office 2003 SP3 Security Issue

March 18th, 2009 Zaur Bahramov No comments

When user tries to open a file he might get the following error

The reason for this error to occur is that Microsoft has increased the security level in Service Pack 3. To override the security it is necessary to make several modifications in registry to set exclusion paths. Here, I will add several keys as follows:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common

Create the following key:

OICEExemptions

After that create the following string values:

Location of OLK (Microsoft Outlook temporary directory) it’s required to go to command prompt and navigate to:

In English Windows Version:

CD %userprofile%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\
DIR

In Italian Windows version:

CD %userprofile%\Impostazioni locali\Temporary Internet Files\
DIR
