Install Excel 2016 (Office 2016)

[mikeymay]

I am wanting to install Office 2016 but when I have done this before it removed all other versions of Office and I need to retain 2010 & 20130 Excel.

After a bit of research I think I need to do the following in the list orderbut I want to confirm with someone in the know how if possible.

1. Install Office 2016 as a CTR version (I don't believe MSI is possible for 2016) and let it uninstall 2010 & 2013
2. Install Excel, Word & PowerPoint 2013 as individual applications with MSI
3. Install 2010 the same as 2013

Any advice on the above would be hugely appreciated so I can avoid losing the whole day uninstalling 2016 and reinstalling 2013 & 2010.


TIA

If 2013 was an msi installation, you shouldn't have any issue installing 2016 as well, as a C2R install or msi - though you need a volume licence to get msi I think. That's exactly what I did.

I've just tried to install 2016 and it says that 2013 need to be removed so I'm assuming it was a C2R....?

I still have the discs for 2010 & 2013 so do I just need to install as C2R when installing again? 2010 & 2013 are single use purchases though as I tried to install 2013 on my personal pc and it wouldn't let me saying the license key was already in use. Is this not a volume license disc if only single use?

If you have a disc for 2013, you should only need to remove that and reinstall as .msi version, then install 2016. I am assuming you're not trying to mix 32bit and 64bit Office.

 

[mikeymay]

My laptop is a 64 bit.

I'm assuming there is an option which version I need to install when installing?

 

[mikeymay]

Is there a defined .msi option when installing or is it some ambiguous selection somewhere?

Stick to same bit version ie x86 as x64 is not nice and the VBA is horrible

You need all install files all version

Remove as required
Install newest to oldest

As RoryA says mixing x86 and x64 will not be your best move - yes if on single development machine Ok try it not recomended for the wild

x64 OS will be happy with x86 Office

jiuk

Ok, so I need to-

Uninstall 2010 & 2013
Install C2R 2016 as 32 bit
Install MSI 2013 as 32 bit
Install MSO 2010 as 32 bit

From what I have read, I have to install all of 2016 Office but is it possible to just install Excel, Word & PP from 2010 & 2013?


Thanks

No, you can leave 2010 alone. Uninstall 2013 and reinstall from disc. Then install C2R version of 2016. They should all default to a 32bit version unless you specify otherwise.

Uninstall 2013 and reinstall from disc

as MSI?
