You might receive an error similar to the following when you open a saved PowerPoint presentation and attempt to refresh stored process output:

The stored process, "name" was not found in the repository.  Verify that the stored process still exists and you have permission to execute it.

When you click OK, you might receive errors similar to the following:

Unable to execute the stored process "name".  The stored process server (servername) is inaccessible.

"name" failed to execute.

Use the steps below to circumvent this issue:

1. Create a new file called Powerpnt.exe.config, and save it in the same folder where the Powerpnt.exe file resides. By default, that location is in c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12.
2. Add the following content to the newly created config file:

<!-- require .NET Framework 1.1 --> <configuration> <startup> <requiredRuntime version="v1.1.4322"/> </startup> </configuration>

3. Restart PowerPoint, and your stored process output should refresh without errors.
