The path or file name is invalid error when opening Office document in(patrikluca.blogspot.com)

submitted by Patrik(705) 2 years, 9 months ago

You browse to a SharePoint document library and when you click on the Name of a Microsoft Office PowerPoint file stored in the library, you receive following error: The path or file name for http://servername/libraryurl/filename.pptx is invalid. Please check that the path and file name are correct. Your PowerPoint application starts automatically up on your desktop, but the file isn’t opened: however, yesterday everything worked fine… What is even weirder, if you do a search for the document and you click on its name in the search results, your PowerPoint application starts and the file opens without problem. What is also remarkable: if you go to your document library and you choose Edit in Microsoft Office PowerPoint, your PowerPoint application starts, the file gets checked out automatically and opens without error.
