Hi ratzlefatz, Currently trying to install Office 2016 using the O2016RTool. I've downloaded the Office 2016 VNEXT / Insider C2R (16.0.6228.1010). - The VNEXT download completed successfully - Office 2016 installs successfully - Conversion to Volume completes successfully but... The KMS activation does not work. When selecting option (1) to proceed with the internal O2016RTool KMS server, I am greeted with the following problem: Code: -------------------------------------------------------- No Instance(s) Available. No Instance(s) Available. Activation Failed -------------------------------------------------------- I have removed the Office 2016 install using the Microsoft 2013/2016/365 removal tool (O15CTRRemove), and I am willing to troubleshoot. Some details: - XPS 15 9550 - Windows 10 Home version 1511, OS Build 10586.11 (x64) - Windows Defender is disabled (real-time OFF, cloud-based protection OFF, sample submission OFF) before installing with the 02016RTool.
Hi ratzlefatz, No rush on the request. I like the O2016RTool more, as it has worked on other computers. Would you like me to install using KMS VL ALL and report back with results? EDIT: Fresh install from 16.0.4266.1003_en-US_x86_x64, then running KMS_VL_ALL returns this result: Any thoughts on what would cause this error? I am willing to troubleshoot if required.
Uninstall complete, currently working on install from Retail-ISO (16.0.4266.1003_en-US_x86_x64) Conversion to Volume successful. KMS server not working. Still showing the "No Instance(s) Available" with "Activation failed". I have disabled Windows Defender Real Time and Cloud-Based scanning. At this point, I'm more than happy if you remote access my machine. This is somewhat frustrating, as I have used the suggested tools from Microsoft and this forum, but nothing seems to work.
I used your tool to download Office MSDN Retail v16.0.6001.1038 to my surface pro (win 10 pro). Then I converted it and activated (with internal activator) successfully. I check for update and no updates found so it's still v16.0.6001.1038. Then I copied downloaded folder to my desktop PC with win 10 pro too. So I installed with your tool again, converted and activated, exactly like before. Then checked for update and it updated to v16.0.6228.1010 which is supposed to be MS-VNEXT Insider version... Why?
Did you "set" Office-Version to "16.0.6001.1038" the second time? If you just pressed <return> without entering something at this step, then O2016RTool selects Insider-Branch. Update - I just forgot to mention: When you copy the complete download-package (including "setup.exe", "configureXX.xml" and "start_setup.cmd") then it is sufficient just to use "start_setup.cmd". So you don't need O2016RTool for download and setup again.
And for downloading a new setup-package with O2016RTool just enter the new version build string in download dialogue: Set VNEXT Download Path >c:\test Set Office Build >16.0.6001.1043 Set Update Location ID > Pressing <return> at "Set Update Location ID" will use "Current Branch" (= 492350f6-3a01-4f97-b9c0-c7c6ddf67d60) based on version build string entered before. If you use Insider version 16.0.6366.2025 then "Update Location ID" will change to "Insider Branch" (= 64256AFE-F5D9-4F86-8936-8840A6A4F5BE) Or you can manually enter Branch ID's at "Set Update Location ID >" and overwrite the preset values.
