Unable to view or edit office files by using office online or office web apps

Symptoms

When you try open an Office file that is stored on a Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 or Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010 website by using Office Web Apps, you receive the following message:
 

Open Document
You are about to open:
Name: <filename>
From: <sitename>
How would you like to open this file?


Or, you receive the following message when you double-click a file that is stored in OneDrive to view the file by using Office Online:

File Download
Do you want to open or save this file?

Name: <filename>
Type: <File Type>
From: livefilestore.com
