I can launch Only office but the documents won’t show up :


I just need to know what file is the cause of this issue, is there any logs that i can find to help ?

Hello @Kiosk-Maker
We didn’t test this scenario. We need some time to check it out. I will notify you when we have something to share.

We took a look at described situation. You have to set only executable file. You config confuses us a little bit also:
App DesktopAppPath="C:\Program Files\ONLYOFFICE\DesktopEditors\*.dll
But after that line we see a separated .dll files.
Is it possible to set root directory only? If not, editor needs this file: %ProgramFiles%\ONLYOFFICE\DesktopEditors\converter\x2t.exe
Also it needs all contents of the converter directory.

Hi Alexandre, thank you for taking the time to look into it.

was just a test line, it turns out that you can’t use * in the allowed apps so i just tried to individually allow .dll files but it didn’t work out.

I will try to allow the x2t.exe (and directory) and then i will come back.

Again, thanks a lot for your follow-up

Ok, please keep us updated.
