Windows 10: My Office Professional Plus 2016

I wound up having to take my computer to be repaired after the May 2021 Windows update. Part of the problems were cause because I changes my Email account.The repairman put in a request to have my Security Information changed to reflect the new email account. I told him I purchased by Office Professional Plus 2016 over the phone with the Microsoft Sales Department years ago when they insisted the only Office they could sell me that day was Office Professional Plus 2016. I'm retired and have a home computer with Windows 10. After a lot of back and forth, the sales department finally gave

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.

Who gave you the disk for Office Professional Plus 2016?

You never bought it as it is licensed through Volume Licensing and not for private use.

So there is no way to get the product key unless you still work for the company where you got the disk from.
