    You're welcome :) THis method only works on Windows 10. On Windows 7,8 it's possible to install Office 2019 but you had to use YAOCTRI and YAOCTRU (herein MDL)

    I see MS has a new downloadable MS Office Scrub tool.

    The file name is: SetupProd_OffScrub.exe - you run this and it downloads a full tool named: Microsoft Support and Recovery Assistant for Office 365

    The tool detects and allows the user to completely scrub MS 2010, 2013 and 2016 essentially in one step. I need a tool that will completely remove MS 2010, 2013 and 2016.

    Does anyone know if this method of removing old MS Office, files, keys and licenses, is any better (or worse) than abbodi's office scrubber tool???

    I fiddled with it inside a virtual machine and it works great, but something about it that I don't trust. Thoughts??

    Use YAOCTRU to get the latest office files.
    Use YAOCTRI to install your desired product.

    I once tried SetupProd_OffScrub.exe to remove the office 2019 and after finishing, it showed a message that Office has been successfully removed but actually no office files were touched in the process. So I would say it's a poor program,
    abbodi1406's Office Scrubber is the best AFAIK,

    Thx Windows Addict,

    FYI from my testing abbodi's Office scrubber it did not remove 2013 or 2010, it appears to only remove MS Office 2016, and from what you told me 2019.

    When looking at the instructions for YAOCTRU I have no idea which "output type" to select??? "* Finally, choose the output type:" That's confusing. I don't understand what this is, actually.

    Thanks , I tried C2R-R2V version 8 but it didn't detect my office 2019 Pro plus, but today I tried the final version (v.10) and it worked perfectly.

    SetupProd_OffScrub.exe (AKA SARA) is basically a fancy GUI that execute ODT and/or the known .vbs scrub scripts

    you don't need +60 MB for that, and it send alot of telemetry

    Did you set network connection as metered?

    share the logs, maybe we can see the cause
    - stop ClickToRunSvc service
    - goto to your %temp% and C:\Windows\Temp and delete any .log files
    - start ClickToRunSvc service
    - run the updates schedule task
    - wait a minute or two
    - share the .log files from both %temp% and C:\Windows\Temp (they could have same names, don't mix them)

    hi there,
    Ive removed the old version/existing version of office that i had installed on this computer (I believe it was office '16) using the ms fixit tool, says that there are no more remnants left. I used the officertool to install successfully on a brand new computer a few days ago, but i am getting a 404 error in red after choosing x64...

    "Connecting to officecdn.microsoft com.edgesuite.net (officecdn.microsoft com.edgesuite.net)|2600:1407:2800::17df:c409|:80... connected.
    HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found
    2019-08-29 11:42:24 ERROR 404: Not Found.

    *** ERROR downloading: officecdn.microsoft com.edgesuite.net/pr/492350f6-3a01-4f97-b9c0-c7c6ddf67d60/Office/Data/16.0.11929.20254/stream.x64.en-US.dat.cobra"

    Im a bit of a beginner when it comes to all of this, so any guidance would be greatly appreciated. does this imply internet connection issues or am i missing a file?

    Known error. Check OfficeRTool version. "cobra" files are not not needed
    anymore and Microsoft removed them from their servers. Use latest
    OfficeRTool
    , then download is working.

    Windows Addict,
    Thank you so much for telling me about Use YAOCTRU and YAOCTRI .... They are simply AMAZING. Confusing at first, but once you wade into it it becomes understandable and WOW what amazing installations! Love these two utilities, thank whomever made them (abbodi?) and thank you for telling me about them! I'm still learning.
