harmon.ie and Visio 2013 license error - outlook-addin

I have outlook 2016 with MS Vision 2013 installed. When I try to open MS visio file from Harmon.ie, I get License error message.
Error:
Microsoft Office cannot verify the license for this product. You should repair the office program by using control panel.
I can open the MS same MS Visio drawing manually or from sharepoint with no problem.

This error message could not be directly related to harmon.ie. You need to reach out to Microsoft about it. You should reproduce it out of harmon.ie.
Indeed, when user clicks on a document - harmon.ie (as a client application versus web interface) determines appropriate application based on the document extension and then launches the associated desktop application by passing it the URL to the document. Running the application from command line and passing it the direct URL of the Visio document duplicates the behavior of opening the document via harmon.ie. You can get the url to your Visio document by right clicking on it from our sidebar, and select copy address.
Please check again to see if running MS Visio, from command line and providing the URL to the SharePoint document would reproduce the issue:
-Open a cmd window
-Sample command format is below
"Path_to_Visio\visio_exe.exe" "urlof_document/document.visio_extension”

How to configure lable. icons and URL in VSTO word addin

I have VSTO word addin and I have put a button in the ribbon and a label (company name).
On button click, I get selected text and pass this selected word as a queryparam to my application as below: www.myapplication.com?selectedtext= [getselectdwordfromword]
We have few clients and all have a different application name.
So how can the client set his application URl and label (company name)?
Is there any way so we can provide configurations and client changes configurations based on their requirements before installing VSTO in their system?
Thanks in advance
You can develop a custom UI for the add-in installer where your customers can enter the required application URL and company name. So, at runtime you could read such values from the windows registry or any other place where the add-in installer could write down these values after installing. The Deploy an Office solution by using Windows Installer article describes all the required steps for creating MSI installers.

Drag&Drop to Outlook add-in

I have a problem with Outlook 365 add-in we are developing. The add-in should accept files dragged from user desktop. The web page is working fine with Drag&Drop in any browser: IE, Edge, Opera.
Same web page in add-in accepts only files dragged from Office 365 Application and doesn't accept anything from Outlook, user desktop, any other website or app.
So in fact add-in is droppable and working fine, but only for files dragged from Office 365 App.
Is there any special security setting in place?
The web browser which hosts your web add-in doesn't recognize and understand the format which is used for dragged items from Outlook. On the page Upload fails when user drags and drops attachment from email client you may find the following explanation:
All browsers are only expecting the actual file drag/drop format (CF_HDROP), but when dragging from Outlook, there is no file on the filesystem. What you get is the CF_FILEDESCRIPTOR and CF_FILECONTENTS formats. No browser that I know of (not even IE), knows how to handle that.

TFS2015 Document library- open file instead of download

when i am trying to view files from my TFS document library it's download the file instead of opening it automatic with excel OR word that are already installed on my pc, does someone know how to fix it?
i am using office365 and TFS2015 as you can see at the screenshot that attached this is how it's look like in PC that working fine.
This kind of issue may related to your IE security setting, try to add the related sharepoint site in trust site and try again:
Close your browser (if you don't and you have your SharePoint site up you'll get a bunch of script errors because of the change to access
levels).
Go to your Control Panel
Open Internet Properties
Select the Security tab.
Select Trusted Sites
Click Sites, and add the URL for your SharePoint site.
More details please refer this similar issue: "Some files can harm your computer" dialog when I open a file from the document library
If the warning dialog is disappear, but when you open file still download. Then that behavior maybe defined by your browser. Try some other browser such as IE/Chrome/FireFox. Double check the integration/link of your browser and Word,Excel.

Message Compose Outlook add-in is not activated in Outlook 2016 desktop

I developed an add-in with a MessageComposeCommandSurface extension point.
It appears, is activated and works on outlook.office.com but with windows desktop client, Outlook 2016 (version 16.0.8625.2121), the button appears in compose mode but stays gray and it is not clickable.
I tested the command-demo-addin mentioned in Microsoft Docs and published on Github with the same result. Similarly, as shown on screenshot, it is impossible to click and launch the add-in which seems unactivated.
The COMPOSE buttons are disabled in the following instances:
1) The Item is in a public folder.
2) The Item is in Junk, Outbox (not drafts), or Sync Issues.
3) The item is "secure". DRM, or S-MIME encrypted. (older versions of Outlook also do not support S-MIME signed)
4) Outlook is offline.
In the situation where Read Mode add-ins are working, but Compose does NOT it is almost always #3. Usually the user will have on the option to always DRM / S-MIME their outgoing messages.
Update with image of security settings:
If Com Add-ins load a Custom Form this can also affect add-ins:
Checking Com Add-ins:
Note that outlook actually ships with some add-ins and a lot of com-addins work fine with Web Add-ins. It's only when Com Add-ins override the default new mail form (or other forms) that they can interfere with Web Add-ins.
Some COM add-ins will NOT use Custom Form, but will access the parent folder (item.Parent) and there is currently a bug that disable's Web Add-ins when a COM Add-in or VBA script does this.
File->Options->Add-Ins-> "Go" (next to manage add-ins)
If you have an antivirus instaled like avast, try to disable the addin of this and then try to open your compose mail window.

Opening Office Web Apps Documents in Browser - 'view in browser' doesn't work but 'edit in browser' does

I installed Office Web Apps SP2 on our SharePoint 2010 farm this past weekend. I've observed that the service applications have been created and I've activated the feature at the site collection level. The word viewing service is started on all my WFE machines. When I access word documents from a library by clicking them or saying "view in browser", the site brings me to a blank document. No errors. I just get a blank document with a very basic ribbon that belongs to Word with buttons on it for 'file', 'open in word' and 'edit in browser'. However, if I hit "Edit in Browser", the site displays the document.
I'm not finding much interesting in the Sharepoint logs, even with OWA logging turned up to verbose. Excel documents come up fine in the browser without such a procedure.
I had no such issue when I installed office web apps in our TEST SP2010 farm.
Any ideas what I can look at next?
The powerpoint and word reader service applications had not been created as expected by the setup. Creating these solved our problem immediately.
