Windows 10: How to uninstall Microsoft Office 2016 volume license pack

Hi, by mistake I installed the office2016 volume license pack, a tool which as I understood later is for KMS servers to configure etc, not for my personal pc. I use windows 10. There is nowhere any information by microsoft or others about how to uninstall it...or at least I can't find it. can anyone help me please?Thanks,Nick

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.

Office 2016 programs are not grouped under Microsoft Office 2016

Hi,

To address your concern, you can compress the view of your Microsoft Office programs inside a single folder in the Start Menu. To do this, follow the steps below:

• Go to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs.
• Right-click on a blank space, click New > Folder.
• Rename the New Folder as Microsoft Office 2016 (or any name that you want).
• Highlight all the Microsoft Office 2016 programs.
• On your keyboard, press Ctrl + X (make sure that all programs are highlighted).
• Double-click Microsoft Office 2016 folder (the folder that you've created).
• On your keyboard, press Ctrl + V.
• Wait until all the programs are moved to the new folder.
• Check the Start Menu if the settings are saved.

Let us know the outcome after you perform steps above for us to assist you further.

 

Microsoft Office 2016 installation, MSDN?

Please save the Office Software Protection Platform script to a text file with following command, enter the command exactly as shown here:

cscript ospp.vbs /dstatus >%userprofile%\Desktop\Office.txt

It saves license status on your desktop as Office.txt file.

Run the command in an elevated Command Prompt from inside Office 2016 installation folder:

• Office 2016 32 bit: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office16
• Office 2016 64 bit: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office16

Upload the TXT file here as an attachment, I will check it. There's some information missing from extract you posted, I would need to see the full report before saying anything for sure. Notice that the report does not contain any personal information, it is safe to post it.
