Oracle Tip: Error in BI Publisher Desktop Installation and issue with Microsoft Office 2013

I tried to install Oracle BI Publisher Desktop 11.1.1.7 on my Windows 64 laptop for Microsoft Office 2013 32bits and I got the following error:

"Please make sure JRE version 1.6 or later is installed"

I had Java 1.6 45 32 bit installed and working fine. After struggling in understanding what was wrong, I did the following:

• Uninstall all Java JRE and JDK from your laptop
• Install Java JDK 32 bit
• Install Java JDK 64 bit
• Reboot the laptop 
• Install BI Publisher Desktop

The installation went through with no issues, but when I opened Microsoft Word I could not see the BI Publisher tab. The Add-in was not even in the list of available Add-ins for Word.
Google helped me once more and I found a note saying that you have to look for Program Files (x86)\Oracle\BI Publisher\BI Publisher Desktop\DotNetInstallFiles folder and execute setup.exe (close any Office application before starting the installation). I just followed the instructions and at the end the BI Publisher tab was finally there.

Oracle Tip: OBI .rpd File path

The customer is thinking of migrating to OBIEE 11g on Exalytics. I need to migrate the .rpd file but the current installation has undergone some crazy update so it is impossible to connect and see the .rpd online in the OBIEE Client. 
The only way I had to recover the latest version of the .rpd file was locating it in the OBIEE Installation. 
The path for accessing to the current .rpd file (and previous versions of it) is: 

<OBI Root>/Middleware/instances/instance1/bifoundation/OracleBIServerComponent/coreapplication_obis1/repository
