Hello out there, i use Mac OSX 10.9.4 and the latest version of Parallels 9 (yeah i know, its not 10.) for the host. My guestsystem is Windows 7 Professional 64Bit. if i doubleclick on a doc or docx-file inside of Windows it will start Office 2011 for Mac. This works fine. No problems here. But i have an application on windows which seems to start doc(x)-files on a different way. Its a application with a database. The files are inside the database. if i call a doc-file, it copy the file do my temp folder and start Office. Normaly... In reality its not that simple. This application seems to start Office as a COM-object like this 'new COM("word.application")' The problem is, that 'word.application' does not exist in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT so i get an error. I know that this missing registry-key is not a bug. It is normal because Word isnt installed on Windows. Its on my mac. I tried to create this key but its not that simple. Maybe someone out there already had this problem with COM objects. Please let me know. Thanks a lot!
