Running Office Mobile on a StarTrek having the original WM5 OS

[WH42596]

Dear All,

after having tested the various WM6 solutions provided by Erofich (who did a great job, chapeau!), I lastly decided to revert to the original WM5 OS, since I prefer to operate my StarTrek mobile in my mother tongue, which is German.

However, what I would like to have anyway, is the current version of Office Mobile, since DocumentsToGo has still problems with the docx-files from Word, even if its vendors are praising their product as being "100% compatible" with MS Office 2007 - nothing but wishful thinking.

For these reasons, I would like to have Office Mobile, since, even if it may suffer from various limitations, it is at least compatible with files created by means of the desktop version of MS Office.

I have started several attempts to install Office Mobile 6.1 on my StarTrek, and I lastly succeeded, but, when I try to run e.g. Word Mobile, I get an error message, which reads like this: "cannot find pword.exe; make sure that all necessary libraries are present."

Needless to say that pword.exe is on the right place and that the relevant values (e.g. paths) in the registry appear to be ok.

I have also installed .net on my mobile, which took me more that 90% of the remaining free memory (what a horror!), but it didn't help either.

So, if somebody has a suggestion - all comments are welcome!

Thanks in advance,

The Wolf

Well, the problem I had before was I used the upgrade .msi files which naturally required the original version or version 6. I then downloaded a .cab file which showed the error that you had. This is what I did, before, when I was still using WM5. I installed the 6.1 version which had support for docx, as sed I had the same problem that you did, then I installed the .msi upgrade version. What it did was it repaired my previous installation.

I hope this helps you. It worked for me. Good luck.

I'm sorry if I can't upload the files, it seems that I may have lost it...

Hi Pampooh,

I was able to successfully repeat this under WM6 - here, it works indeed.
But I still fail to get Office 6.1 onto my StarTrek under WM5.

Thanks a lot anyway.
