     This is the #1 support email I receive. I absolutely HATE Click-to-run Office. Your issue is usually resolved by doing the long online repair option. With click-to-run, not every feature of Word the script needs are installed until they are needed. Try the repair option and see if that fixes it.

     Thanks

   I am running this remotely from a machine that has Office on it, with enter-pssession servername, and it is still saying “this script directly outputs to Microsoft Word, please install Microsoft Word”. Am I not running it correctly from enter-pssession? Or is there something else I’m missing?

     If the computer running the script is a domain member, there is no need for PSSession.

     If you are using PSSession, I believe the script will check that computer for all the prereqs. I have never needed to use a PSSession to run the script.

       Thank you for the quick response! That was it for some reason I was thinking I had to be connected to a DC to do it. Great script!

     This happens to some people some of the time. If you are using the 64-bit version of PowerShell, try the x86 version. I have no idea why some people have this issue and some people do not. I have run the various scripts in both 32-bit and 64-bit PowerShell with both 32-bit and 64-bit Word and never have been able to reproduce this issue.

     Thanks

     Webster

       It has this failure when running in Powershell ISE. Works fine in regular Powershell.

         I never test or run my script in ISE because of the foreign language characters.
