When I upgraded from Office 10 to Office to Office 365, I ran into a problem when setting up an existing office account. I successfully set up 3 of 4 existing accounts, but setup failed for one of those accounts which had worked for a number of years. The message I got when informed that the setup was unsuccessful, a suggestion was made to try installing and running the OFFCAT add-on. I did so and, voila!, the account was then successfully set up. Who knows what it did, but I didn’t really care about that. Now, however, I get – almost daily a notification that OFFCAT has not scanned any Office program in the last 30 days. Well, I don’t know how to do that. The OFFCAT tab in Outlook seems to have nothing to do with a scan. There is an update function which seems to work successfully, but the OFFCAT scan seems to be something entirely different. The next, and only other thing I tried was to go to all apps from the Win 10 Start menu and run the OFFCAT Analyzer tool. When I tried that, all that happened was that I got an immediate error message
“The configuration file, AppDataLocalMicrosoftOffCAtenonedrive.comfig.xml could not be found”
I don’t have the foggiest idea how this fits in. Maybe it is even irrelevant in trying to do “OFFCAT Scan” notice which daily (sometimes more than once) bugs me. Sure, I suppose, I disable or uninstall that Office Add In, but that doesn’t help if usage of the tool is needed in the future. Suggestions would be appreciated.
