Hi,
Busy testing VMware Horizon workspace we try to preview several data types.
Text files and PDF files work fine but DOC/DOCX and XLS files give an error.
Looking at the install guide and the reviewer guide the installation is not that clear to me.
It says install LibreOffice or Microsoft Office Preview.
We installed LibreOffice in the Data-VA through the steps in the install guide and once thorugh the steps in the reviewer guide.
In both occassions we got the same result, PDF and TXT work, the rest give an error.
To get DOCX/DOC and XLS to work what do we need to do? Install a Windows server and install Microsoft office, or?
If I read the docs you have to add the IP address of the preview server, I entered the data-va server but perhaps I should enter a Windows server running office there.
The guides say this:
"You can configure the #Horizon Workspace Preview server to preview Microsoft Office documents when using the #Horizon Workspace Web interface.
Microsoft Windows 7 Enterprise or Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard# | |
Microsoft Office 2010 Professional, 64 bit# | |
An administrative account with permission to create local accounts."
Can someone shed some light on this, what needs to be installed to get preview for office documents to work?
Would really appreciate some more info.
Thanks Greetings Rob | |
