Report ID: 1467707478

The office was updated yesterday. Now, the Word version is Microsoft® Word LTSC MSO (16.0.14332.20579) 64 位.

Zotero version is: 7.0.0-beta.46+c27bac2ad (64-bit)

The followings were tried:
Using an empty word document.
Restart Word, Zotero, Windows.
Reinstall Zotero Toolbar in Word
Disable all plugins in Zotero
Run Word and Zotero as Adminstrators
Creat and use a new zotero profile

But all doesn't work.

Thanks.

If you save the document with an alphanumeric name like "Doc.docx" does it work?

johnmy

No, it still doesn’t work.

johnmy

It is normal in Win 11, and I installed office 2021 ltsc and zotero 7 in win 10 using hyper-v virtural machine, it prompted me the same error dialog box.

johnmy

And it works if I run my zotero 6 copy and install zotero 6 toolbox in the same machine.

adomasven

Could you produce two Debug IDs, one from Zotero 6 and one from Zotero 7 for an attempt to cite?

johnmy

Zotero 7 Debug ID： D815515302
Zotero 6 Debug ID： D1196346746

Do you have a C: disk and does it work if you save the document there?

johnmy

No，thanks.

Did citing with Zotero 7 beta work before this Word update? Googling your Word version doesn't turn up anything except for this Zotero thread. Did you get the number correct? Is there another update pending for Word perhaps?

johnmy

It worked before.
The number is correct. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1v75rUCDIWll94sWO14QAWBk8uKtcqjEF/view?usp=share_link

Today my another computer did not work either after a restart of this machine, the word version is the same as that mentioned before.

johnmy

Found the reason.

It's nothing related the update of Word.

I installed an application which closed the UAC and obtained other adminstration prevelige (https://drive.google.com/file/d/14MTFaEFIY00X7Fw_7ZMWormBwkXzpV2r/view?usp=share_link), afther I changed UAC the default, it is normal now.

Thanks.

The bat which change the prevelige:

I have the same problem when citing documents in word： Zotero experienced an error updating your document
M
y version of zotero is 7.0.0-beta.56+9edfcba9a on windows 11, word 365 (same in WPS).

The followings were tried:
Using an empty word document.
Restart Word, Zotero, Windows.
Reinstall Zotero Toolbar in Word
Disable all plugins in Zotero
Run Word and Zotero as non-Adminstrators
Creat and use a new zotero profile

I have UAC turned off. But I am unable to run the script mentioned by johnmy.

But all doesn't work. But it works for Google doc. And it works for Zotero 6.

Debug ID D1905238043

Thanks.
@adomasven

johnmy

Did you install some applications or change the windows settings before it did not work

AsychEpool

It should have worked before I upgraded, not after. Also, I'm not sure what setting is causing the problem.

But it works for Google doc. And it works for Zotero 6 in same computer.

johnmy

Did you try to turn on the UAC, or set the UAC to other level.

AsychEpool

@johnmy you are right. After change the setting and reboot my PC, word can access to zotero 7.

You are my God, Thanks.

Other than that, I think the developers should update the plugin to fix this compatibility issue!

johnmy

Recently，I installed this application, it also changed the UAC, https://github.com/ionuttbara/windows-defender-remover, I got the same error.

zice

Thanks! finally find the solution to make Zotero work again. I found this problem after updating Zotero to version 7. I decide to not use Zotero Word plugin for now. hope this problem can be fixed.

zice

I turned off UAC again and try to use the plugin, it still works! Maybe it's been fixed already.

AsychEpool

I found zotero work without turning on UAC when set "EnableLUA" to 1rather than 0 in \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

Midnight_Coup

Same issue, can confirm changing UAC works. Hope this got fixed soon.
