Oracle BI Publisher Desktop 12.2.1.4.0 for 32 bit Office on Windows

What is the absolute path to winword.exe on your PC?

What version of Publisher Desktop are you trying to install?

What version of java is installed, and is it 32 or 64 bit?

Rgds,

Kevin

If winword.exe is under Program Files, you need to install JAVA 1.8 64 bit under Program Files as well.

Error seems to be pointing something with Word2007, looks like you downloaded some older version.

You should Uninstall the whatever version you have (it might be partially installed or corrupted)

Reboot

Get the latest plugin

Right-click installer → Run as Administrator (If possible)

Install

Please refer

Also, remember Oracle Analytics Publisher is available with Oracle Analytics Server and can be deployed as integrated product or as standalone. Prepare your environment first by installing Java Developers Kit 8 (JDK8) and Web Logic Server 12.2.1.4 , Install Analytics Server and then Configure Analytics Publisher by running Configuration Assistant.
