Hello,
after I've setup my Win7 work HVM with all application and switching
to seamless mode after everything is working, I came across a strange
behavior:
If I launch Excel within Debug mode and seamles mode disabled, I am
able to access the filesystem to open and save files.
If I launch Excel after disabling Debuf and enabling Seamless mode,
Excel can't access the file system.
This is a problem as this means that I can't even open an Excel-Sheet
from Outlook as Excel can't access the path to saved file.
I thought that seamless mode is just changing something on the
presentation layer, why does this lead to problems with my office apps?
As mentioned I don't have any problems when starting in Debud Node +
seamless mode disabled?
Any ideas what could be the problem?
I'm running Qubes 3.2 and Win 7 Pro with Office 2016 Pro.

Can someone running Qubes 3.2 with Win 7 HVM who is using Outlook &
Excel in this HVM try the following steps:
/*first test:*/
1) Change HVM Configuration: Seamless Mode = disabled / Debug = enabled
2) Launch Win 7 HVM
3) Create a new Excel sheet test.xls, open it, enter something like 123
and save it
4) Send this file to your email adress which is configured in your outlook
5) After the mail has been received, try to open the attached Excel file
Question: Can the Excel attachments be opened in Excel from Outook (when
beeing in Debug Mode=
In my case: SUCCESS
/*second test:*//*
*/1) Change HVM Configuration: Seamless Mode = enabled / Debug = disabled
2) Launch Win 7 HVM
3) Open Outlook and try to open the excel attachment
Question: does this work
In my case: FAILED:
I can open Outlook and open the email, but when i try to open the excel
attachment, Excel is starting and then quits with an error message:
"Microsoft Exce can't access the file
'C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\lLocal\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary
Internet Files\Content.Outlook\jdkuwehdhdwk\test.xcls
/*third test:*//*
*/1) Stay in the same seamless windows session like in test two
2) open Excel
3) Try to navigate to the file you have created in test 1
Question: Can you open the file or path?
In my case: FAILED:
When I go to File, Open I don't see any recent opened files and I am
also unable to browse to my folders.
Nothing happens when I click on the button to open a window to navigate
my files
It seems to me that there is a problem, that Excel can't access my
folder structure when beeing launched in seamless mode.
This renders Microsoft Office totally useless when working in seamless mode.
As i need to rely on Outlook/Excel for office use, this makes it's hard
to justify Qubes for business use.
I'd like to know if I am the only one experiencing problems like this?
Who is working with Win7 in Seamless Mode under Qubes OS 3.2 and what is
the result of the test (most important test 3)?
Kind regards
- P
