SharePoint OpenDocuments class addon
I am able to upload an Exel file to SkyDive, but when I try to pull down the file to open and edit it, I get a message that I do not have a properly installed Exel Program. I spent twelve hours today trying to through a wide range of options, including
all most two hours with a Microsoft Technical Support Person without any luck. I am running a new laptop, with System 7 (64 bit) and Office 2010 Professional, and IE 8. Some of the suggestions were that downloading and working with a file from
SkyDive which is 32 bit will not work with my 64 bit browser, so I tried both Google and Safri (32 bit) which didn't help. The concensus is that I need to install the SharePoint OpenDocument addon, but I truely can't find it anywhere. Any help
or suggestions.

Hi
You can enable it in Internet Explorer with the following steps:
1.
Click
Tools
2.
Go to
Manage Add-ons
3.
In the Show box, click All add-ons
4.
In the
Name column, click SharePoint OpenDocumentsClass, click Enable.
But if the SharePoint OpenDocuments Class isn’t listed in the collection of add-ons on your machine, you can try to fix it with the following
steps. Cause it’s possible that the add-on does exist somewhere but that it wasn’t updated when recent Office upgrades were installed on your computer.
1.
From the
Start menu, click Control Panel, and then click
Programs.
2.
On the Control Panel Programs page, click
Programs and Features.
3.
Scroll down the list of installed programs, select Microsoft Office, and then click Change.
4.
In the Change dialog, click Repair and then click Continue.
Little interaction is required from you until the repair operation is complete. At that time, you might need to reboot your computer so the changes
can take effect.
When your computer finishes rebooting, go back into Internet Explorer and repeat the procedure for enabling the add-on.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

I recently solved this problem for a user. We were getting "A Microsoft SharePoint Foundation compatible application could not be found to edit the document"
and the SharePoint opendocuments class wasn't showing up in available add-ons.
The simple solution was to use the 32-bit version of IE instead of the 64-bit one. My ah-ha moment came after reading this page: http://sharepoint.microsoft.com/Blogs/GetThePoint/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?List=8d9e2a99-f288-47c2-916b-2f32864f7b82&ID=494&Web=5e4647a0-e7d0-4626-b71c-b1ff06402465
