Windows 10: Microsoft Office 2010 Professional

I have a new machine Dell Inspiron which had office 365 installed - I didnt need it - so I uninstalled it.

I then started to install from the disc - Office Professional 2010 - the installation halted three quarters through with error code 25541 - failed to open XML file.


Please can you help? Thank you

“Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010” vs “Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010” PROBLEM!!!!

Some time ago my Computer crashed and I took it in for repairs and Data recovery which was successfully executed.

At the time of this unfortunate turnout of events, the Application Software installed in my Computer was “Microsoft Office Home and Business 2010”, which I had purchased myself upon the purchased
of the Computer and for which I still have the “Product Key”

It would appear that among other things, in the process of carrying out the repairs to the Computer and related Data Recovery, unbeknown to me my “Microsoft Office Home and Business 2010” Application
Software got replaced with “Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010”.
“Microsoft Office Activation Wizard” “Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010”
“Error Code : 0xC004F074”

The deadline period within which I was supposed to have “activated” the “Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010” has come and gone. Needless to say, I did not even make any attempt at activation
because I do not have access to the Product Key relating thereto. Thankfully the Application Software is still functional though, but I now get pop-ups of “Microsoft Office Activation Wizard” Prompts which, among other things
advise that “This copy of Microsoft Office is not activated”. Also of
major concern is the fact that each time upon opening Word, Excel or Outlook one gets a
Red Banded
Cautionary pop-up at the top of the Screed advising that (Product Activation Failed).THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS THAT I HAVE NO INTEREST IN ACTIVATING
Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010–
!

I have no idea how long the “Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010” will remain functional in my Computer notwithstanding the cautionary prompts relentlessly popping up advising that “This
copy of Microsoft Office is not activated” and that (Product Activation Failed).

The bottom line is that I would like to have the “Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010” uninstalled and in its place install my “Microsoft Office Home and Business 2010”.
The BIG question is :

“HOW TO DO THAT WITHOUT RISKING THE POTENTIAL LOSS OF VOLUMES OF DATA ALREADY IN MY COMPUTER”.

ASSISTANCE AND GUIDANCE IN THAT REGARD WOULD INDEED BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!!!

 

Unable to install Microsoft office 2016 professional plus

I have a similar problem where a Office Professional Plus 2016 32-bit version has failed to install and is still unresolved. Here are my steps and the additional links from Microsoft which may work for you (but which have still not resolved my own problem)

Office 2016 Installation problem

Installing on a Windows 10 Desktop 8gm Rm running Office 2010 32-bit.

Microsoft advised us to first uninstall our old Office 2010 before installing the new Office 2016 program. Our Office 2010 had run well for 6 years, but that is when the installation problem began.

When trying to install the OFFICE 2016 32-bit package, it quickly stops with the following error:

When clearing that error, it always shows second error:

We researched blogs and found this problem to be very common whenever an older Office version was uninstalled prior to installing Office 2016, and we followed all the following suggestions (with full reboots each time).

1. RAN SFC on drive C: and found no errors.
   
2. Ran RUN %ProgramData% and renamed Office.help to Office.Help.Old
   
3. Ran the MS Program Install and Uninstall Troubleshooter.
   
4. Ran a Clean Boot.
   
5. Ran Control Panel - in startup found Windows Installer was on and set for Manual.
   
6. Went back to VLSC site 6 more times and downloaded a fresh Office 2016 (32-bit version) in case any files were corrupt, but I still got the same install messages.
   

Below are links to Microsoft that have worked for some, but not all, users. I believe Using Windows 10 UNIVSTALL (before) running the Office 2016 ISO file either removes an important registry entry, or inserts one that causes the new install to fail. Hopefully one of these will help you.
