Flare says Word not installed when importing, but it is...

Post by ChoccieMuffin »

Afternoon all.

My build manager is moving our build machine to Azure and is running some tests. The new location has Word 2013 on it. When running the build, this error appears:

"Scanning [doc_name].docx...
Not a valid MS Word document."

But it IS a valid Word document, and we have a version of Word installed.

The only thing I could find in the help about what version of Word is needed is this note:
"DOCX is Microsoft Word's platform-independent, open XML format. You must have Microsoft Word 2007 installed in order to import this file type."
I'm assuming it actually means Word 2007 or later.

Any ideas what could be the cause of the problem?
