Background -

Virtualized excel 2003 with a hyperion plugin when i activate the layer on boot up or manually, it takes over the 2007 office that was installed locally.

How can i run 2007 excel with 2003 and maintain 2007 being the primary application

Use svscmd to set priority

Scatman,

You can solve this by using svscmd to set priority.

The command is svscmd "package name" priority -t hkcr -l 75.6,
The local installed software alway's have a Priority of 75.5. Setting the layer priority above 75.5 will give the local software the preferred software.
Setting it lower will set the virtualised software as preferred.

So if you have Office 2003 virtualised, and Office 2007 local installed, and you wish to run Office 2007 if a doc or xls is started, then you have to run the command:
svscmd "Office2003" priority -t hkcr -l 75.6

If you preferre to use Office 2003 as the default, you have to use the string svscmd "Office2003" priority -t hkcr -l 75.4

Replace Office2003 in the string with the name of the layer.
