When you install Office 2016, all the applications that came with your particular Office product are installed at the same time. If you’re coming from section 2, grab How to fix email not syncing the download link for what Microsoft calls the “uninstall support tool” in its Support pages. Its filename is SetupProd_Offscrub.exe, so I’ve gotten in the habit of calling it “OffScrub” myself.

Just before the progress bar completed, a notification popped up to tell me that my Office install was complete. The installer window changed to an animated display that included what’s shown in Figure 8. Then it took another 4 minutes and 24 seconds for the (genuine) progress bar shown above to download all the files. Watching my network access while this was underway, I saw the typical on-again, off-again download behavior for Windows Update occurring here. The download meter ran as high as 180 Mbps, and as low as a few Kbps while the download was underway. The easiest way to determine this is to take the document to a different computer running another copy of Microsoft Office and attempt to open the document there.

If you’re not sure how to decide between 64-bit or 32-bit, see Choose the 64-bit or 32-bit version of Office 2016. Find solutions to common problems or get help from a support agent.

You might get an error that has a number and maybe some descriptive text. Although the messages are hard to understand, there are often solutions. If you’re not sure which operating system you have, see Which Windows operating system am I running? Or Find the OS X version and build number on your Mac. Check that your computer meets the minimum system requirements to install Office. See System requirements for Office for a list of additional requirements.

When complete, a checkmark appears next to the Rest button. After the list of installed apps populates (it can take some time, depending on how much you have installed), scroll down and look for Microsoft 365 (Office). It could also happen because you haven’t assigned a license to yourself or your users. This could happen because of a delay between your initial sign in and Office 365 for business setting up your environment.

See Office is taking long to install or Office hangs at 90% for possible solutions. The steps to access the repair tool vary depending on your operating system. Click the Close button, then try your problem Office application again. In my experience, only 1 in 10 Office installations will still fail to work. If yours works, count yourself lucky and get back to your normal routine.
