Project 2016 Standard CTR (Click-to-Run) installer?

Thanks,

I tried the installation order you recommended on my test machine; first Office 2016 Home & Business CTR, then a attempt at Project 2016 Standard MSI.

The result is what I expected, an error dialog window that states: "... Windows Installer and Click-to-Run editions of Office programs don't get along for this version, so you can only have one type installed at a time..."

Same result the other way around.

The VM work around is a solution that me and our team want to avoid unfortunately.

Edit: Interesting to know you have a 2010 MSI running alongside a 2016 CTR though.

Try installing CTR first, then MSI.

I have 2016 CTR installed along side 2010 MSI, installed in that order.

CTR is another name for App-V

Worst case you may need to go to a VM, virutal machine. Hyper-V if you have a Pro version of Windows, or some 3rd party VM like VirtualBox. This would separate the 2 installations, but still allow you to use them on the same machine.

Glad to hear you are making real progress. 

Yes, I expect they key will be accepted.  You will have to provide both keys to the appropriate applications.

Quick update,

I managed to use the Office Deployment Tool 2016 to create a custom install. Not sure if its just beginners luck, but I successfully managed to make a config that has Office 2016, and Project 2016. (Both CTR Office installs)

I now need to look into if my Project 2016 VLSC key will be accepted, and to move all this to a USB key. But things are looking okay here.

Thank you for the links to documentation.

Thanks for the update. Too bad it didn't work.

There is one more thing you can try, the Office Deployment Tool. I think you may be able to create a combined installation from the 2 separate installers.  I think I remember reading something about doing that.

Customize Microsoft Office Click-to-Run (C2R) Setup to Install Selected Programs Only (2013 / 2016) askvg. - Deployment Tool

http://www.askvg.com/tip-customize-microsoft-office-click-to-run-c2r-setup-to-install-selected-programs-only/

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219426.aspx

Above link has detailed instructions.

This tool is intended for Business Office Administrators.  Apparently it may also be used for consumer Office bundles. (I have not tried it myself, rohn 007)

<snip>

After much trial and error, I got it to work for me.

First I had to run the Office scrub vbs file (available from Fix It here: https://support.office.microsoft.com/en-us/article/Fix-Office-365-Office-2016-or-Office-2013-install-errors-54554bb8-aa94-43c7-a685-408dd9868c0b) to remove all traces of any Office installs on my computer (I’m running Win10x64 Pro & Ent).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbfIHR_52do - this is a video over an hour long, including demonstration of using the deployement tool

Reboot

1. I opened the ISO from MSDN and extracted that to D:\Archive\Office2016\ which created subdirectories off of that of \Office\data

-- Note that if you don’t have the iso yet, you can can ask setup to download the required files, just skip ahead to step 3 below---

2. rename D:\Archive\Office2016\setup.exe to whatever the heck you like.
3. I downloaded the Office 2016 Deployment Tool (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49117) and extracted the zip to D:\Archive\Office2016.  This will place setup.exe and configuration.xml into that directory (this is why we renamed setup.exe above).  I edited the XML file and put the following in it (deleting everything else that was in it):

<Configuration>

  <Add SourcePath=”D:\Archive\Office2016\” OfficeClientEdition=”64” >

  <Product ID=”proplusretail”>

  <Language ID=”en-us” />  

  <ExcludeApp ID=”Access” />

  <ExcludeApp ID=”Publisher” />

  <ExcludeApp ID=”Grove” />

  <ExcludeApp ID=”Lync” />

  <ExcludeApp ID=”skypeforbusiness” />

  </Product>

  </Add>

  <Logging Name=”OfficeSetup.txt” Path=”%temp%” />

</Configuration>

NOTE: you can setup the deployment to include multiple languages ie:

<language ID= ‘en-us’ ‘es-es’  />

Using group policy, there are over 2100 settings you can control via the deployment tool

***NOTE that I wasn’t sure about the naming convention for Skype for Business/Lync so I put them both in the config file - I still don’t know which one is needed but the above config successfully did NOT install Skype for Business***

4. If you don’t have the ISO then run the following:

D:\Archive\Office2016\setup.exe /download configuration.xml

that will create the sub directories and download the files necessary for your desired configuration

5. Now, whether this is from the ISO or the downloaded files, run:

D:\Archive\Office2016\setup.exe /configure configuration.xml

bingo, bango, bongo, you’ve got a customized install.

I tried your method,  and when I launched the program from CMD, I immediately got error code 30088-1021 after it got elevated privileges. If instead of using cmd and the deployment toolkit’s setup file, I went into \office directory (one level down from where I was) and launched the setup64 program and it began installing correctly. I do have Office 2013 installed still.

This is the configuration.xml file I made;;

<Configuration>

<Configuration>

  <Add SourcePath=”E:\to keep\bittorrent\en_office_professional_plus_2016_x86_x64_dvd_6962141\office extracted” OfficeClientEdition=”64” >

  <Product ID=”proplusretail”>

  <Language ID=”en-us” />

  <ExcludeApp ID=”Access” />

  <ExcludeApp ID=”onenote” />

  <ExcludeApp ID=”Grove” />

  <ExcludeApp ID=”Groove” />

  <ExcludeApp ID=”Lync” />

  <ExcludeApp ID=”skypeforbusiness” />

  </Product>

  </Add>

  <Logging Name=”OfficeSetup.txt” Path=”%temp%” />

</Configuration>

</Configuration>
