    Might be there is a difference in the checks of different installs. In my tests with Office 16, it always demanded to uninstall the predecessors. No way arround.

    It could be different if you install Project and Visio without Office :g:. Didn't test that scenario so far.


    Reminds me i lately bought new 2TB drive for my VMs. I will try to create several different of those 'Mixes'.

    @ blinkomatic

    Did you try the online activation with the little script.

    Yes, but it failed.
    When I used the original script-suite's manual activation method (and skipped win/o2010/o2013 but chose o2016) it worked well.

    The original tool only failed to convert (from what I've seen that might've meant to install the necessary keys, mostly?) from retail to vlk.

    Well, I installed Office 16 alongside 15 on a Win 7 test machine: both were activated and could be run at the same time without issues: View attachment 37481
    When I decided to uninstall Office 15, a warning popped up saying that a more recent version of Office was detected and uninstalling 15 might require a repair of 16. That was not necessary in my case, and everything worked perfectly fine.

    Testing also JATDscript. Both on Win 10240 Ent and Win 7 Ult I don't get to main menu easily. Managed to run the script only after deleting this line:
    Code:
    @echo off
    (NET FILE||(powershell -command Start-Process '%0' -Verb runAs -ArgumentList '%* '&EXIT /B))>NUL 2>&1
    And I have this:
    View attachment 37482
    On 10240, I select any key, then ack to access the main menu. On Win 7 that does't work unless the tool is installed: typing makes the window shut down.

    Conversion and activation work like a charm, though. Nice job.

    Internal images function on MDL is broken. You have to store on external image
    hosting service and make references using "insert image from url".

    Just curious: How did you succeed installing Office 2016 and Office 2013 on the
    same system without getting troubles during install and run?



    Strange behaviours indeed. The powershell line is used to get admin-rights for the script.
    On a few systems for not yet known reasons this doesn't work. But as I see you helped
    yourself by omitting the line and run the script as admin.

    I did some tests to reproduce your glitches by going through the menus forth and (B)ack
    but it always worked (Win 10 build 10240 and even on Win 7 Pro x64).

    Maybe providing the broken images can help.

    Sadly Win 7 got old and rancid in regards of Powershell and other nice Stuff.

    Was thinking about abandoning Support ... but didn't so far :D.

    Me too, but if compatibility from Win XP onwards is required, then no choice but to suck it up and include it..I tested countless admin checks and settled on the one currently in KMS_VL_ALL; v3.7 version used to have openfiles, but then it didn't work in one of my test cases, so had to change it, forgot the test case though..

    Yeah, know what you'talking about :suicide:.

    I need to search for a fool-proof way to check for Powershell 4 on Win 7 and offer to to download/install. Offers too much needed features, some stuff won't work properly in JATD without. Like in WU TOOL which refuses to run in Win 7 in latest release to avoid confusion.

    I simply don't know.

    Office_15_16_alongside.jpg

    Just let the installation run, no tweaking, no hacking.


    That beats me, too. On both of my systems, UAC and the policy "Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode" are disabled, but I don't see this as the culprit. As a matter of fact, On Win 7 double clicking the file runs it, right clicking and "Run as Administrator" does nothing. Pretty weird, isn't it?
    Anyways, what I get is this (both on 10240 and Win 7):

    JATD.jpg

    On 10, I just need to type a letter (say [T]), the proper menu opens, then type and the Mainmenu opens. On 7 that happens only after installing JATD in Windows: can't run the tool in other drives or other C: directories.
    Am I under a spell?

    After you showed that it could be possible to have full Office 2013 suite and full Office 2016 suite
    together on one system, I started several new attempts to achieve the same for testing purposes,
    but failed.

    Unfortunatedly it always ended with a corruption/malfunction of either Office 2016 or Office 2013.
    So I stay with my Warning: Never mix Office versions (post #4, clause 3.)

    @all: If you want to test Office 2016, but your existing Office 2013 installation must remain, then
    create a virtual test image for that purpose.

    download for en us 64 ?

    I'd go to a torrent site but I don't really trust them to be clean & unmodified..

    is there a md5 / sha I could check against those ?
