Recently I bumped into a strange error
when trying to cite a paper for my proposal. Mendeley and MS word 2013 denied me any possible scenario to do that. As if there was a huge fight between the two friends. Ultimately I searched the mendeley forums where a solution was posted by a life saver. After downloading and running the script, the pain and misery of looking at the two, Mendeley and Word document were gone and the friendship between them was finally restored. The problem showed up because both were run with admin privileges.
I hope this might help you guys someday.

So what must I do ?
ReplyDeleteplease do not run both of them as administrator at the same time.
DeleteI have the same problem, involving words 2016. How not to run both as admin?
DeleteDr junaid can you explain more?i dont really understand

Deleteplease do not run both of them as administrator at the same time.100% problem solving method.
DeleteDon't use administrator/Admin login for Mendeley software installation. alternatively use any other user like Guest or other User with out admin rights. Active X, error 429 problem solved.
DeleteHello, you speak of a script, can you share it?
DeleteGo to the folder "Mendeley Desktop" and run "MendeleyWordPlugin.exe"
DeleteThanks! After banging my head against the wall for half a day, this finally fixed it!
DeleteThank you. Going to the folder "Mendeley Desktop" and running "MendeleyWordPlugin.exe" from my standard user account has finally solved my ActiveX Error 429 problem.

DeleteThanks Petra. I was searching for any working troubleshooter.
DeleteThank you a lot Petra. You just saved me a lot of time.
DeleteThis is the virus, please remove this post.
DeleteThank you, it did work!
ReplyDeleteHello! I'm having the same issues.
ReplyDeleteEverytime I click on any button of the Mendeley Cite-o-Matic section of the Word the 429 error happens.
I tried every single troubleshooting step and it didn't work.
I'm using Mendeley 1.19, Word 2013 and Windows 10. Can anybody help me?
Plus, can anybody share the script that he said it worked?
I don't know what witchery you did here, but this worked for me while NOTHING ELSE DID! I tried installing many older Mendeley versions, installing and reinstalling the plugin, rebooting the PC, trying with and without admin rights, but you made it, buddy. Double-clicking 'MendeleyWordPlugin.exe' was the key. I'm using Mendeley 1.19.
ReplyDeletedouble-clicking 'MendeleyWordPlugin.exe' works to me, too!!! thank you so much!!!
DeleteIt works to me, too. THANKS A LOT
Deletethank you very much!!!
DeleteWhen I click on MendeleyWordPlugin.exe, nothing happens. Can you tell what am I doing wrong?
DeleteMendeley 1.19.1 - double-clicking 'MendeleyWordPlugin.exe' works to me, too!!!
DeletePs.: When I click, it seems nothing happens. But Mendeley and MsWord start to work together again.
Dude, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! You really save me!
Deletethank you, thank you, thank you!!!
DeleteGreat! That worked to me. Thank you very much!! (Mendeley 1.19.1, M.Office Prof. plus 2010)
Deletewhy the double click shows nothing for me?wuwu
DeleteNice! Thanks!! It works to me!!
ReplyDeleteFINALLY SOMETHING THAT WORKKS. TY
ReplyDeleteI don't even have MendeleyWordPlugin.exe, where did you find it?
ReplyDeleteThank you. Mendeleywordplugin.exe works very well. Thanks thanks thanks
ReplyDeleteThe tip about clicking in the Mendeleywordplugin.exe really worked! Thank you very much!
ReplyDeleteMany Many Thanks!! It worked!
ReplyDeleteEven mendeleywordplugin.exe is not working with me. Please suggest me a solution... :(
ReplyDeleteGo to Tools in the Mendeley desktop > uninstall MS word plugin > Install MS word plugin.
DeleteIt'll work perfectly.
:)
Actually it does not. Nor did any of the steps above solve the issue on Win10 x64 Word 2016 and latest Mendeley.
DeleteSame here, nothing worked for me =(
DeleteYour tip save to me
DeleteThank you!!!
DeleteMuchas gracias, a mi me funcionó perfectamente en un documento nuevo, en el documento que estaba trabajando tuve que borrar todos los tÃtulos que tenÃa como campo, los que tenÃa para las tablas y el Ãndice. Los volvà a digitar y ahà si funcionó bien.
DeleteSame here. None of the above works. I tried dozens of combinations of uninstalling plugin and reinstalling via MendeleyDesktop with or without admin rights, running word with/without admin rights, running MendeleyWordPlugin.exe with or without admin rights, with or without prior uninstalation of word plugin via MendeleyDesktop and.... NONE OF THIS WORKS...
DeleteSolution, the reason this happens is when you activate the hyper-v, is a port conflict.

I've been having this error for years now, and it's unbelievable that it has never been fixed. For me, double clicking the MendeleyWordPlugin in the Mendeley folder also worked.
ReplyDeleteicant find file word plug in and I uninstall MS word plugin then Install MS word plugin please help me
ReplyDeleteI cant find file word plug in and I uninstall MS word plugin then Install MS word plugin please help me
ReplyDeleteicant find file word plug in and I uninstall MS word plugin then Install MS word plugin please help me
ReplyDeleteThis did not work for me initially. I think it was mainly because Mendeley and my Word still did not talk with each other even I manually added the PlugIn. Then I repaired my Office and it reinstalled the latest version. Then I deleted the PlugIn in word. This time Mendeley was able to find Word and the PlugIn works great.
ReplyDeletejust simply uninstall "MS work plugin" and reinstall it. It will take hardly few minutes. This has to be done in "Mendeley Desktop" under the option tools- "uninstall MS work plugin"
ReplyDeleteIn my case I fixed reregistring the the "MendeleyWordPlugin" in the windows register.
ReplyDeleteTo do that you have to use "command prompt".
1- Digite "cmd" in programs.
2- Go to the mendeley folder. In my case is in "c:\Program Files (x86)\Mendeley Desktop\"
For change folder tou can use "cd + name of the folder". To back digite "cd .." If you have doubts google "usual DOS commands".
3- After you are in the mendeley folder digite "MendeleyWordPlugin.exe /regserver"
This command will register your "MendeleyWordPlugin.exe" in the windows register.
I've found this information in this site:

I can confirm that this works! Thanks for saving my life!
