As I am still running Windows 7 simply due to the lack of time to update my main computer, beeing able to update to to was simply a great opportunity to improve my experience on browsing the web. Unfortunately the installation experience failed miserably. The install wizard looped through in no-time at all, restarted Internet Explorer. No error, unfortunately – no Internet Explorer 10 either. To customize the experience for deploying it to an enterprise you can use the.

A more detailed of howto provide it via an image is also available via Technet. Lets continue with the installation issue first of all, I verified that all prerequisites were installed. This could easily be done by visiting a already available that states all the prerequisites and provides easy to access links for all of them. Unfortunately this did not alter the behavior in anyway and the next article up is. The article did provide some general insights, but none of the steps did provide any alteration of the behavior – it seems to more provide content with an end-user in mind then an IT administrator.

There, lets review the Technet article. The following is listed in the article; If Setup fails, you can troubleshoot errors by using the Setup log files: • IE10_main.log • IE10_NR_Setup.log • IE10_uninst.log • cbs*.log • WU_IE10_LangPacks.log Great! Lets start digesting! I could only locate the IE10_main.log within C: Windows Here is a cut out of the log that seemed interesting; Whats so special about the above? C: Windows sysnative is not a folder I have ever seen.

The first command-line looks like this; 00:03.214: ERROR: Unable to create process ‘C: Windows SysNative dism.exe /online /add-package /packagepath:C: Windows TEMP IE147AE.tmp IE10-neutral.Extracted.cab /quiet /norestart’, errorID = 0x00000000 (0) The above tells me; • It installs Internet Explorer 10 using DISM • It extracts all files necessary to a specific sub-folder within c: windows temp • I can most likely install this on my own I restarted the installer, located the temp-folder and extracted all the files. I simply copied the entire lot to c: windows temp to ease my next step. This is what the folder looks like; I removed the c: windows sysnative and the sub-folder from temp to get the following commands; dism.exe /online /add-package /packagepath:C: Windows TEMP IE10-neutral.Extracted.cab /quiet /norestart dism.exe /online /add-package /packagepath:C: Windows TEMP Spelling_en Windows6.2-KB2764916-x86.cab /quiet /norestart dism.exe /online /add-package /packagepath:C: Windows TEMP Hyphenation_en Windows6.2-KB2764913-x86.cab /quiet /norestart The packages installed and after a reboot – finally! Hi, you are the first person I have found to post the issue I am seeing (albeit with a different error) and hope you can help.

I have W7 and all the necessary updates and everytime I install IE10 IE is no longer visible in any app list or start menu? If I type iexplore at run window on the start menu it states something along the lines of “tried to run application at incorrect memory address” Basically IE 10 is not there. It’s like it just got rid of the IE 9 aplication but left it on disk. When I search for IE I find what looks like the old code in the usual C: programs internet explorer folder (nothing looks new). I windows features and it states IE10 is installed and the installation didn’t throw up any errors. I’d love to use IE10 but just can’t. I live in Australia and notice when I go to windows.com it takes me to the US site to install (just mentioning this in case it is relevant).

A few extra pieces of information for you. When I first tried to install IE10 it stated “a newer version of IE is already installed”. This is probably when I had the same problem installing the pre-release version even though I uninstalled it last time and was happily running IE9!? So I turned it off in windows features and started a new install yesterday. Please find below the errors in ie10_main.log. Thanks for any help in advance.

I installed IE10 from the automatic updates. After rebooting, I launched IE10 and it crashed all the time. Message is A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. I checked the event log and there is no entry.

I have install IE 10 on my wifes PC and it works fine but I have more programs on my pc. The version is: Microsoft Corporation – Internet Explorer Version.16521 I have Win7 64-bit SP1 with all updates using Intel CORE DUO. I have had a month of failed installs and reading through the comments I’m not sure I am having the same issue. Here is the install log file. I can see that you put in a huge amount of effort to progress this error situation and did everything in a logical sequence. My only negative comment is “why?” I’m a computer “user”. I don’t interfere with the operating system and protect my installation with proprietary antivirus/internet security.

I just want to use my PC to connect to the internet. I don’t want a hobby as a part-time investigative software engineer and I feel very strongly that this situation is utterly disgraceful.

Microsoft took all our money and for the license fees paid I expect to simply run the update program and move forward. If the update fails, there should be a straightforward instruction given to correct the situation not the belligerent audacity of a vague error code followed by loads of “try this” troubleshooting options. I believe the product I purchased is simply not suitable for purpose. So that’s why I use Google Chrome! – No this is not a plug – just a statement. Thanks for your steps, seems to be the most helpful out of everything on the net.

I’m running the command dism.exe /online /add-package /packagepath:C:WindowsTEMPIE10-neutral.Extracted.cab as i was getting a ‘system cannot find the file specified’ when running with the quiet and no restart switches Output is: Processing 1 of 1 – Adding package Microsoft-Windows-InternetExplorer-Package-To pLevel~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.2.9200.16521 [===========================66.0%====== ] An error occurred – Microsoft-Windows-InternetExplorer-Package-TopLevel Error: 0 x80070002 Error: 2 The system cannot find the file specified. The DISM log file can be found at C:WindowsLogsDISMdism.log Had a quick look on the net but not seen anything to solve this. Any help would be much appreciated. Hi, Thanks for your quickly reply. I do not know how to get the resources which you listed in your picture. If I launched the upgrade from windows update, the resources located c:/windows/temp are dynamic and I never see there is a file named *.cab there. I tried to uncompress the exe file of IE installation file but seems that is not I want.

Then I problem is how to get all necessary files which you listed in your picture upon. BTW, IE 11 is available, did you have a chance to get a try on tis?

The Lync Team announced today on their blog that the Office SP1 update released is the February Lync Desktop Client update (CU5). I haven’t seen anything pertaining to a standalone download or install. Will update this article if I find out anything else about this. Features included in the February Update: • Toggle pictures of sender/receiver • Support of high-resolution monitors (200% scaling mode) • Transfer files and pictures in a Persistent Chat room The version number of the client has changed to 15.0.4569.1503 and MSO 15.0.4569.1506. Another thing that I noticed has changed are the emoticons.

Pre SP1 Post SP1 Here is the KB about the Description of Microsoft Office 2013 SP1 • Can't hear the first few words that a callee speaks when they answer a call in Lync 2013 • The 'Program Events' sound setting is reset to the default value after you restart Lync 2013 • Can't rotate the screen orientation of a video window in a Lync 2013 video conference on a Windows 8.1-based device • A pie chart clock icon appears in the 'Conversations' tab as a meeting icon in Lync 2013 There are a few issues that pertain to Lync within the release of SP1. Persistent Chat file transfer fails between an external user and an internal user in Lync 2013 Assume that a user (user A) installs Microsoft Office 2013 Service Pack 1 (SP1) on a Lync 2013 client. Then, user A tries to send a file to another user (user B) in a Persistent Chat room by using the client. In this situation, user A may encounter the following issues: • If user A is an external user and user B is an internal user, user A cannot send the file. Additionally, user A will receive error ID 70. • If user A is an internal user and user B is an external user, user A cannot send the file. Additionally, user A will receive the following error message: error in transfer To work around this issue, you must publish an A record to point to the public IP address of the router on the external Domain Name System (DNS) side.

The router port must be forwarded to the external IP of Threat Management Gateway. Note This workaround does not apply to all environments.

For example, the internal DNS name may not be publishable in external DNS in some environments. Memory leak occurs during a video call or when you rest the mouse pointer on a video icon in Lync 2013 Assume that you install Microsoft Office 2013 Service Pack 1 (SP1) or the November, 2013 update for Lync 2013 on a computer. The computer uses accelerated H.264 video encoding based on Intel chipsets that have HD Graphics 2000 or a later version. Then, you make a video call or you rest the mouse pointer on a video icon in Lync 2013.

In this situation, at least 60 megabytes (MB) of memory will leak in Lync 2013. The memory leak will persist until you restart Lync 2013.

This issue may be resolved in the Lync 2013 update that is dated April 2014. Doesn’t much matter, but I also dislike the new emoticons. Microsoft fails to understand (yet again) that end users (and technical folks!) enjoy this sort of aspect of a product. People get passionate about things they enjoy. Emoticons are just one way a lot of us put a 'smile' in our stressful work day. When you change something like this people are of course going to be upset – especially when you make things worse.

On an unrelated note, I agree with ‘Peter from the Netherlands’ – the copy paste functions in conversations are terrible; basically useless because they don’t work correctly. Pipa De Crack Casera more. I’d also like to add another name to the list of users who are finding the line spacing unusable. I don’t want to have to maximise Lync full screen just to be able to read a few lines of conversation.

Also there is an issue with resizing when opening/closing group chats in tabbed view. If I have lync tucked away in the bottom right corner of my screen and accept a group chat, the window resizes to a larger size which falls off the right edge of the screen and you have to drag it back on screen. Ctrl-Tab seems to work for me though. Thanks Richard, I think the problem is, your blog has become the only vehicle for people to express their views on this, which is probably unfair. It would be a good idea for Microsoft to run some sort of poll on this issue and see what the user base thinks.

Hopefully you can get the right people to look at this page. It’s quite telling that there have not been any positive comments on the new emoticons. I agree, lync is a top notch product and has done wonders for our internal communication, it has also helps people with language or speech difficulties collaborate much more naturally with others in the organization. I just wish Microsoft would work more closely with their customers with changes like this. Also within our organisation we are not pleased (to say the least.) about these useless emoticons. We have colleagues all around the world and only few have English as their native language. With Lync you can use emoticons to provide some “intonation” to an otherwise only read text in the hope to avoid misinterpretation.

But who seriously dares to use THESE new horrific ones?!?! One smiley face looks scarier than the other Free chat programs offer a wide range of useful emoticons while a paid packaged one like Lync reduces the quantity and quality, the mobile versions don´t even offer any emoticons. Dear MS, it is 2014. I used to absolutely LOVE office communicator (or OC [oh-see]) as everyone called it. I could type stuff and it looked great, I could cut someones text and quote it back at them and it would look great.

I could Cut and Paste from an XL-sheet and it would look formatted exactly right, which is what you expect because it’s another MS product. Now with this new version first let me get the obvious out of the way: 1) Emoticons are the worst ever seen, half my collegues are on the old version still so they’ve got no idea what they send me 😛 this guy used to be joke/tongue in cheek, now he looks like “I need to throw up” 2) Line spacing is terrible, especially when you cut and paste thinks once you paste something that is indented your next line stays that way no way to get rid of it.

Except CLOSING your conversation. 3) Variation on 2 I guess. But cutting and pasting things from XL looks horrible.

And distorted at times, how can one MS product make another one look so bad. Bring back the team that worked on OC and have them rework Lync, because as it stands it’s still a tool I use a lot, but I can see it USED to be so much better. This is not sentimental or me not wanting to change, these are expected functionalities that have just taken a turn for the worse.

Ps: I searched for “Lync ugly emoticons” and got here. “I understand the whole disliking them but some of the comments about wanting to stop using a top notch product because of something like emoticons sounds ridiculous” I think that’s the problem right there 🙂 Communicating when not in the same physical space isn’t at all the same as being able to look at and take cues from body and facial movements, smiles, eyes etc.

So, we try our best to mimic a bit of that by using emoticons/smileys. In a way, quickly and easily presenting a bit more of ourselves and our feelings than we can using only letters and words. In this sense, having a useful set of emoticons isn’t just a funny add-on, it’s an essential foundation for successful communication. Important stuff. My suggestion: embrace emoji (this one ), at least as a nicely integrated alternative. Download Sekirei Season 3 Sub Indo Mp4. Seems to be the choice of millions. And they are adorable.

Adding a +0 to remove these absolutely HORRENDOUS emoticons. Go back to the old ones! I couldn’t agree more with what Adrienne said 2 posts before mine, “People use these emoticons to convey in a message what they cannot say in persona creepy cat or toothless smiley obviously isn’t fitting the bill” We use Lync pretty much constantly in the office and a correctly placed emoticon can make sure the sentence you wrote gets the appropiate “meaning” when someone else reads it, but these disgusting-looking things are just creepy. Thank you for putting in these horrid icons – you have messed up something that was simply wonderful. I would like to imagine there was a design contest within Microsoft to see which person could dream up the worst emoticons.

To validate that the winner of the contest had indeed created world-beating emoticons, it was decided to deploy them worldwide. Now that the winner has been validated, I would like to add +0 votes (same as Jon’s comment above) to encourage Microsoft to wipe these emoticons off the face of the earth and get back what was there previously. In summary, what were you people thinking??????? Did you all get hit in the head at the same time? Indeed, new emoticons are awful! The designer, whoever he / she / they were, should be fired and never allowed to touch any end-user product! Black teeth or no teeth, I can’t decide which is worse Also I can hardly tell what the new emoticon is supposed to show At least allow the end-users to switch back to the previous versions PLEASE!

What happened for me is that I had an issue with Lync synchronizing my status based on my Outlook calendar. None of the previously released patches fixed that problem, I tested several. With SP1 not only did this problem persist, I also got these awful new emoticons.

Users will simply install the older version. The handshake is gone THE HANDSHAKE IS GONE!! Probably my most used emoticon, and that of my colleagues. So far, I’m the only one daft enough to update to SP1. Having showed my colleagues the new emoticons, they will not be following suit. Horrid design. Think I’ll downgrade.

And to echo what another commenter said, text selection is completely messed up. When I click and drag to select, it’s just flashes the selection on and off until I release the mouse button and voila! No text is selected. Change the emoticons back, and fix the bugs please. I concur with all that are frustrated about the new emoticons.I can’ t find a word to express my displeasure enough. Another question (excuse me if it was answered abovetime constrained here)has anyone else noticed with the latest update that the internal phone numbers of your contacts disappeared too?

You used to be able to hover your mouse over the contact name, or, over the phone icon, and their phone number would appearno longernot sure if it’s just an internal company snafu, or, if it has to do with the upgrade.noticed it happened at the same time as the emoticon debacle. I was an occasional user of the old emoticons, but the new ones are unusable. Even leaving the aesthetics aside, from a purely interface-usability perspective, they are too homogeneous to be useful – if I receive one I have to lookup the meaning by hovering over the relevant emoticon in the full list. This to me is another example of the current trend to flatten and simplify the UI. However those changes are generally driven by a desire to remove Skeuomorphism from the UI. Emoticons in my view come into a completely different category of interface design as they convey emotion not function and are by definition symbolic. By abstracting and oversimplifying them, meaning is lost.

If Microsoft insist on retaining the new ones, they should provide a tool tip with the meaning when the received emoticon is hovered over (please dont take that as a serious suggestion). And while I am at it – please, please allow the main window to be reduced to a size where it doesn’t take up 25% of my laptop screen. I still use a mouse and do not need a prodding-interface. Please note – I am impressed with the improved connectivity and Outlook/Exchange integration with each new update, but it seems to have been at the expense of the core instant messaging functionality. Don’t forget your roots! Hi Richard, While the Lync team is working on new Emoticons (hopefully) could they also look at the CUT/PASTE functionality.

If I try to cut a piece of conversation from one Chat to another Chat more often than not I get additional text which was located above what I had marked out, and sometimes not even a single letter of the marked text is in my PASTED text. I’ve already voiced my dislike of the incompatibility with XL, again Cutting and Pasting something from XL strips many of it’s cosmetic feastures and make is illegible.

Also, cutting an pasting from XL quickly gives you the 'MESSAGE IS TOO BIG' error!!! What is that about, is this a way to make Instant messaging less usefull and get folks to mail more instead? XL-Cuts are larger in data, but not ususally in text content. Why can’t the tool see the difference? Again, I never had such issue on Office Communicator it already started to get worse on Lync 2010, but 2010 feels like a blessing when compared to 2013. How is this possible?

Even though I’m passionate about the Emoticons, the Cut and Paste errors and message size limit are a lot more serious in a professional bugs in an office environment. Thanks for addressing them.

I’m not sure MS have any people left who are skilled enough to fix this or even skilled enough to craft a useful and honest response to all of these negative comments. And anyway, does it care. MS now have all of it’s customers completely locked in and those customers/prisoners have no choice now and can only moan about the conditions. They can’t actually DO anything about it. You’re better off setting up an escape committee in the mess room than you are moaning and expecting the governor to change anything. See you all in the yard for exercise, then back to the XCells. It is amazing that an update actually managed to sabotage so many good things in this official communicator!

The new emoticons are depressing and are so tiny that selecting them too is a pain. Please do revert them back. Other terrible issues with Lync 2013 that made my company roll back >5000 PC deployments to the older version are: – no option to permanently bold and italicize IM fonts.

You need to select these controls each time, for each conversation. – hover over a contact to call is GONE! Now you need to dbl-click any contact to call him. These are just a few! The bugs and major irritants are endless! Please dont do this.

We’ve had faith in you for so long. DOnt let us down with these silly oversights and bugs. Please fix ASAP! I’m so happy that all of these comments exist. I work in a very large corporate environment and every person I have talked to about these new emoticons hates them. Sick smily looks like Bane, angry face looks like it has braces, ugly ugly ugly normal smilies, 😛 looks just scary, 'sleepy' looks like a mask from the movie Scream, I mean seriously what were they thinking?

I miss the hugs, the pooping sheep, the old (H) and 🙂 and animated crying. Why would anyone think such ugly, childish, and disturbing emoticons as these are useful or appropriate in a workplace? Apologies to the blog owner for the 'hate'.

I’ll avoid sharing some of the jokes my wife and I have been exchanging as she has just upgraded her workstation to this version of Lync after many years of us using the previous (2010?) edition. As far as functionality goes: The windows have huge icons, the window size has a minimum which is too large, the photos that pop up when someone communicates with you are HUGE I mean, if I’m sitting with someone or am sharing my screen, I don’t want others knowing who’s just initiated a communication. The main window itself is huge I can fit 10-11 contacts on an HD monitor. I understand that there are plenty of aging people in the workforce but we really don’t need this sort of crutch! (although the toothless smilies may imply something about our missing dentures) Seriously, I have no idea how this product compares to others 'under the hood' so it may in fact be world-class as far as robustness goes, but for the people actually using it, the old Lotus Sametime from many years back seems to surpass this version of Lync by a LONG SHOT. That is, after all, the main purpose of productivity tools, no?

These emoticons are so terrible. How did this get released? Does Microsoft ever look at what competing products are doing? If you compare the emoticons and ability to copy and paste screenshots to Lotus Notes Sametime, Lync is a joke. Sametime allows to you to do screen captures, markups, and paste full size right from the chat clien into the client, with Lync you need to open the snipping tool, then capture, then paste into the window, where the other user can only see a thumbnail, which they use to download the image and then open in another application (MS picture manager if you have office 2010.).

Sametime allows you to add custom emoticons, even animated.gif emoticons. Microsoft doesn’t even have to be innovators, at least just copy what other companies are doing. At least do some basic product comparisons before you release. Even the MS Snipping tool is missing a bunch of basic features found in other similar tools Get it together Microsoft! Bottom line: the word emoticon I’m presuming means something to do with emotions. So when we as individuals have to express an emotion we are being limited to 80 type of emotions and of those 80 like 90% of them are lame and useless.

What kind of emotion could some of us use a sheep for? Actually, never mind Anyways, In this day and age its simply unacceptable to not have a more extensive library or offer an optional ‘pack’ to download – to not allow the freedom to incorporate your own emoticons – and also not use animated.gif’s. Hopefully MS Skype will address these shortcomings and more and allow people to communicated more effectively. Hi Richard Schwendiman/MS, I agree with 'Peter from the Netherlands' comments on copy paste option in Lync. Its difficult to copy anything from lync and paste it, It copies additional text as well. The only way to select a portion of text is to use keyboard arrow keys, which is possible on only your desktop or laptop, where in now a days people use smart phones for lync. Any solution for this would be appreciated.

Also, i agree emoticons are badly designed, no animation left. For examples, there is still eye rolling emoticon in Lync 2013, but eyes are not rolling anymore, baring teeth smiley – there are no teeth, embarrassed smiley from no way look like it represents that.

Agree that Lync is a great tool for inter company communication. But now a days emoticons are an integral part of any communication. Its just the quality of the product, if you say its an eye rolling smiley, eyes should be rolling itsn’t it? 🙂 Any change in this would be appreciated. Thanks Seema. Lync 2010 was okay at least it worked. Lync 2013 is a joke.

Everything from cut/copy and paste, to remote sessions with multiple monitors being a PITA (if you change focus to a local app, then go back to the lync session, the friggen computer dings at you until you click off of Lync, then back in. This was NOT an issue in 2010) to the asinine emoticons.

I truly loath Lync 2013, especially the emoticons. We are a global company, as well, and the smileys are useless.

It’s embarrassing. It’s also appalling that a company can take a decent product and upgrade with garbage, and call it a day. Having just 'upgraded' from Lync 2010 to Lync 2013, I can state without a hint of doubt or hesitation it is the most terrible 'upgrade' I’ve ever seen for a piece of software. You take a perfectly good user experience, make it ugly and terrible, and add friction to many important user scenarios and use flows. I now positively hesitate to use Lync, and will at any point where I have the chance, choose another collaboration tool over Lync. The emoticons simply confirm this overall frightful experience. When introducing change to any piece of productivity software, please bring in someone like me to tell you the change is horrible, to avoid a disastrous fall in reputation and trust.
