Error - server error in application when clicking on a portal link from office

Question:

When I click on a link to the Mavim Portal from an Office application; this link is not opened.

Answer:

To solve this problem; a registry key can be set on the PC from which the link is executed; see the following description:

When you click a hyperlink in a document (PowerPoint / Excel / Word) to a Mavim Portal; you may experience an error. An error message “Server Error” can appear in '/' Application.

This problem occurs because Office wants to connect directly to the specified URL. 
That request is redirected to the login page of the Portal. If authentication cannot be performed; the error message appears.

To solve this problem; the following Windows Registry key can be set on the PC where the link is executed:

1. Quit all programs that are running.
2. Select Start; and then select Run. Type regedit in the Open box; and then select OK.
3. In the Registry Editor; browse to one of the following subkeys (create the keys when they do not exist):

For 32 Bit Office Versions installed on 32-bit Operating Systems 
or 64 Bit Office Versions installed on 64-bit Operating Systems:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Common\Internet]

For 32 Bit Office Versions installed on 64-bit Operating Systems:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Common\Internet] 
 

4. Make sure the Internet subkey is selected. On the Edit menu; point to New; and then select DWORD Value. Add the following registry value:

Value Name: ForceShellExecute
 

5. Double-click ForceShellExecute; and then set the Value data to 1. Select OK.

ForceShellExecute"=dword:00000001  
 

6. On the Registry menu; select Exit.
