BPC Admin Client - Maintain Dimensions stopped working for newest Windows/Office version

Hello Everyone,

We have been testing BPC 10.1 for Microsoft and things were going well until our company introduced a new Windows/Office image for new laptops.

Our existing laptops still work fine, but this new image causes a problem in BPC admin client.

Our single new problem we see is with the BPC Admin client not being able to open excel in-place when you perform a Maintain Dimension members.

Its definitely the image difference but in terms of versions of office the only difference seems to be the Click To Run Office versus an MSI install of office.

Has anyone heard of any registry or other changes we have to make when using the CLICK to Run version of office 2016 versus MSI version?

I have tried all usual fixes like exporting all dimensions and changing environment variables and such but no fix yet. I also see that the Excel process is running in the background but excel is never invoked on the BPC admin screen, it just spins and spins.

I dont see any messages in tbllogs or other logs.

Will create an SAP ticket but wondered if anyone heard of an issue with Click to Run.

Thanks !

Mike
