one or more required office components failed to complete successfully

one or more required office components failed to complete successfully

issue: Unable to un-install the SharePoint 2013 on the server. Shows the error one or more required office components failed to complete successfully.

Solution: The issue could be of many reasons. In this article I am putting the solutions together to resolve the issue.

Solutions 1:Go to the services, find the Sql server services Stop them as follows and then uninstall the SharePoint server 2013 will be uninstalled successfully.

1.    SQL Full-text filter Daemon launcher (MSSQLSERVER)

2.    Sql server(MSSQLSERVER)

3.    Sql server agent(MSSQLSERVER)

4.    Sql server Analysis services(MSSQLSERVER)

Whenever you are re installing the SharePoint server again restart all the services or required only

Solution 2: Ensure the Site is available in the IIS as configured while installing the SharePoint by default.

Solution 3: Ensure that the UAC is turn on in the server.

Solution 4:  which already has SharePoint Designer 32 bit version installed – thus appropriate version of Office Suite is 32 bit as you can’t mix versions of Office Components. Then you probably installed SharePoint 2010 Foundation 64 bit version. And here the problem is – you have 32 bit Office Components and 64 bit SharePoint 2010 Foundation

Ensure that the versions should be same.

View in Browser” does not work only for PowerPoint files and Document Preview  has not been working in SharePoint 2013.

Issue: View in Browser” does not work only for PowerPoint files  but its working for Excel files and Document Preview  has not been working.

Solution: As long as we don’t have Office Web Apps installed in a  dedicated server, we will not have this “View in Browser” function for all Office documents. 

PowerPoint Conversion Service Application is to handle PPTX to PDF conversion and not for browser rendering.
