Open Files In Desktop App By Default now license based and not functioning within Business Prem
There remains no proper resolution to this issue but there is a workaround of sorts though I'm reluctant to post it here in case Microsoft move to block it. I'm happy to share details with anyone if you message me.
TimD Can you please share the work around for this issue that you mentioned? The only thing we have found is to sync the Teams files with OneDrive Sync and open them in file explorer.

I have two solutions.
1. Close Teams
1.2. WIN + R , %temp%\Microsoft , remove the folder "teams"
1.3. Start teams.If option still not there wrong version of Office is installed.
Solution number 2:
Go to config.office.com and create a XML config file that installs Proplus and removes all the other office installtions.like this one:
<Configuration> <Remove> <Product ID="O365BusinessRetail" /> <Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail" /> <Product ID="O365BusinessEssentials" /> <Product ID="O365BusinessPremium" /> <Product ID="O365HomePremRetail"> <Language ID="en-us" /> </Product> <Product ID="O365HomePremRetail"> <Language ID="da-dk" /> </Product> <Product ID="O365HomePremRetail"> <Language ID="fi-fi" /> </Product> <Product ID="O365HomePremRetail"> <Language ID="nb-no" /> </Product> <Product ID="O365HomePremRetail"> <Language ID="sv-se" /> </Product> <Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail"> <Language ID="fr-fr" /> </Product> <Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail"> <Language ID="nb-no" /> </Product> </Remove> <Add OfficeClientEdition="64"> <Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail"> <Language ID="sv-se" /> </Product> </Add> </Configuration>
download an office setup file, start powershell with admin rights, paste:
*officesetupfilename*.exe /configure yourconfigfile.xml
restart pc after fidling with the office pakage or restart teams.
Should do the trick.- dbrockSep 06, 2023Copper Contributor
