SharePoint Foundation 2013 is the essential solution for organizations that need a secure, manageable, web-based collaboration platform. SharePoint helps teams stay connected and productive by providing easy access to the people, documents, and information that they need to make well-informed decisions and get work done. Goodbye Free Sharepoint (But We Have An Answer) SharePoint, is a timeworn collaborative platform from Microsoft. Microsoft has long offered a free, barebones, product called SharePoint Foundation for document management. This pared-down offering provided document sharing, sites, basic search, and a handful of other entry-level features. In Dutch: 'Er is geen Microsoft SharePoint Foundation compatibele toepassing gevonden waarmee het document kan worden bewerkt'. In English: 'A Microsoft SharePoint Foundation compatible application could not be found'. When I try to open/edit a Microsoft Word (docx) of Excel (xlsx) document in SharePoint. I checked IE 64 and 32 bit, but both.

• A SharePoint Web Application is composed of an Internet Information Services (IIS) web site that acts as a logical unit for the site collections that you create. When you create a new web application, you also create a new content database and define the authentication method used to connect to the database.
• Oct 06, 2011 'The document could not be opened for editing. A Microsoft SharePoint Foundation compatible application could not be found to edit the document' I am opening the document by choosing 'Edit document in Excel/Word'. Thanks in advance for your help.

Symptoms:
When trying to export a list from SharePoint 2010, you get an error message:
To export a list, you must have a Microsoft SharePoint Foundation-compatible application.
You have Office 2013 products (32 bit) installed, but it was upgraded from 2010 products.
Issue:
Since you have had multiple versions of office installed, there are multiple folders installed for it and SharePoint doesn't see anything in the 2010 folder on the client machine - because it was moved to the 2013 folder. There is a fix outlined here for machines that don't have SharePoint Designer, OneNote or InfoPath installed, but otherwise does not work.
But there is a note at the bottom of that article that will fix this if you do have those installed.
Solution:
Modify the registry.

• Click on the start menu, type regedit and then click OK.
• Under Computer, HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, find the SharePoint.OpenDocuments.5 key and right click. Choose Rename. Name it SharePoint.OpenDocuments.5.old and click ok.
• The key will be re-added any time you repair/update the Office 2013 program and will have to be renamed/deleted again.

Once again I’ve exhausted all possible searches on google to find an answer as to why I am getting an error when I click new for either Report Builder report or new data source content types in my BI Site using the out of the box SharePoint Business Intelligence site template.

Ok, so all of my Reporting Services features are activated as per the default installation and the SharePoint Add-in has been installed/reinstalled plenty of times and this makes no difference as suggested by other forums.

Error:

‘New Document’ requires a Microsoft SharePoint Foundation-compatible application and web browser…

Resolution:

STEP 1:

Download or copy the rssharepoint.msi to your local drive and extract the msi package.

1. Open a command prompt with administrator permissions and run a files only installation as described in the previous section.
2. Find the rsCustomAction.exe file on the file system. This file is copied to your computer by the Setup program. The file will be located in the %Temp% directory. To get the path information for this file, Type the following from the command prompt:
3. CD %temp%.The file should be located in: Users<your name>AppDataLocalTemp
4. Type the following command. This configuration step will take several minutes to finish. The W3SVC service will be restarted during this process. Several Status messages will be displayed as the program copies files, registers components, and runs the SharePoint Product Configuration Wizard.

In my case I had to perform step 1 first before this would work. It would be worth while testing step 2 before going through the reinstall and extraction process to force the content types to install and activate. Step 1 will also modify and add the Reporting Services extensions in the DOCICON.XML for you.
