The application information has been imported from msi file. I’m struggling with this install. I can get the Office 2016 install to work through Software Center, but not when I make it part of a Task Sequence. It just hangs.
Deployment becomes unresponsive and eventually my screen just goes black. Tried on virtual machine and laptop. Logs are not very helpful as they just stop.
If I restart the computer, the logs pick back up, but still no helpful information. AppEnforce says “Waiting for process xxxx to finish”, but it never does. I never get my process to terminate with an exit code. Smsts.log has only one error that I can see: NotifyProgress received: 16 (Application failed to evaluate). But it passes that error and continues on for a bit before stalling.
Any suggestions from anyone? Your posts are very informative. What do you recommend in the settings of the customization tool if I want to have it display the progress window of uninstalling Office 2010 and then the progress window of installing 2016. We had issues of my command file killing the Office apps processes and then users trying to restart the applications while it was trying to uninstall 2010/install 2016. This caused some botched installations that our service desk had to fix.
Basically I want something to display on the screen so that the user does not touch any Office applications until the whole process is completed. Thank you for your help. I followed the instruction and deployed.
Everything worked out fine. Just one thing – when I clicked install from software center it prompted with the screen (Choose the installation you want Install Now / Customize). I clicked customize office and selected all to run from this computer. The install was successful. How can, I suppress the pop up box of Install Now / Customize screen?
I did create custom_setting and saved the file in updates folder – yet the install is not silent. Appreciate your input. One more thing in the Privacy Trust Center screen you mentioned Disabled to opt at first run as Disabled per your screen shot but your notes say as Enabled.
Which one is correct? Hi Prajwal, great post. I was wondering if you can shed some light: (1) Skype for business 2016 gone missing. (2) Excel 2016 complained not the default program for spreadsheet. If there anywhere on OCT I can edit Not to tell me if it’s not the default program?
