    Does anyone know how can I install the spanish language pack for 2016 x64?

    I got it and tried it but it's not working for some technical reason I don't understand.

    Hi,

    I'm trying to use Map 3D new option in Office 365 Insider and it says that I can't use because it can't run Directx. It is because this PC is old?

    Thanks

    Hi all, I have Office 2016 Pro Plus installed, using Office Toolkit/AutoKMS it has activated and is working as desired. However when I click the "Check" button in the Toolkit it shows 2 Office versions - my 2016 as well as my old "Office15" (which was uninstalled long ago) with a status of Activated, this now causes an error in Windows Event Viewer every 2hrs (the Skuid matches the old Office15):

    The rules engine reported a failed VL activation attempt.
    Reason:0xC004F074
    AppId = 0ff1ce15-a989-479d-af46-f275c6370663, SkuId = b322da9c-a2e2-4058-9e4e-f59a6970bd69
    Trigger=NetworkAvailable

    How can I remove the traces of the old Office that it's detected (i've tried searching myself and removing traces of "Office15" but it still hasn't helped) or how can I tell Office Toolkit/AutoKMS to ignore the old version.
    Running Windows 10 64bit.

    Thanks.

    UPDATE:
    Manage to figure out how to remove the old product key myself using command prompt commands:
    cscript.exe slmgr.vbs /dlv all
    to determine the Activation ID of the old Office/Key.
    and then
    slmgr.vbs /upk [activation key here]
    Thanks all.

    DirectX 12 shown as available version on first page "System" of DXDIAG is not sufficient.
    Please switch to second page "Display". Here you must look in "Driver" info window on the
    right. The important part is shown at "Feature Levels".

    I just tested 3D Maps in a VMware Image. VMware graphics hardware / VMware-Tools driver
    info shows as "Feature Levels": 10_0, 9_3, 9_2, 9_1 ( = DirectX versions supported)

    Even as DirectX version 10_0 is listed as supported, Excel 2016 Insider 3D Maps complains:

    3D_MAP_DirectX.png

    So your graphics hardware AND the driver must be supporting DirectX 10_1 and up to get
    3D Maps running. I assume your's won't.

    Thanks for the question, musical123. I have literally been spending hours trying to get this to work. It wasn't until I read ratzlefatz's reply with his path example, that I realized the path I had it extracted to was what was causing the problem (i had it saved to c:\downloads\MS Office 2016 VL KMSTool\O2016RTool\O2016RTool.cmd). Once I moved the extracted folder to the C: drive - current path C:\O2016RTool\O2016RTool.cmd). Now all appear to be working correctly.:clap:

    ratzlefatz, thanks for the path designation of: If you run it from folder (ex. drive:\O2016RTool\O2016RTool.cmd) then O2016RTool-Menu is shown.
    I too was having issues with the windows almost immediately closing.
    I would get the ouput:
    O2016RTool Checking all Office 2016 distribution channels for new updates. Please wait....
    The system cannot find the file D.


    then window closes.

    I did my best to read the script, as well as the instructions, but the part about saving to (ex. drive:\O2016RTool\O2016RTool.cmd) completely escaped me.:eek:

    I least I have been learning today :throw:

    Thanks for the tool, I will post again once I complete the install/patch. :bounce4:

    Thanks for the tool. After quite a few hours, I was able to get MS Office ACTIVATED!!!:clap:
    (Issues with a aprtial install, old MS Offices files not completely removed, etc.).
    Much thanks to the developers and testers who posted issues and bugs.
    I did find that when designating the install path, the O2016RTool had issues (or at least it did for me) if there were spaces in the directory name.
    (I had issues when install directory was named "C:\MS Office 2016 VL" ,but everything ran fine once I removed the spaces naming it "C:\MS_Office_2016VL"

    Thanks again
    :worthy::worthy:

    Another thanks....
    The O2016RTool seems to work great....Tried it out on my desktop, and was able to complete the install with only a few minor glitches.
    :headbang:

    Thanks for reporting.
    "Check for new Office versions" routine: Confirmed. "Spaces" in O2016RTool-path is a problem here.
    I will look into this and come back with a solution.

    hello. is there a link for previous version of O2016RTool? I just downloaded and used the current O2016RTool and nothing's happening when i'm choosing the convert to volume, KMS activation, and change office update path. seems like something's wrong somewhere in :CheckOfficeApplications.
    it is also not installing project and visio.

    so yeah if there's a link to previous version of the tool i'll be glad to test whether it's my machine or the tool that's having problem :/

    edit:
    turns out the original installation doesn't installs the retail licenses.. tried O16-C2R-Retail2Volume and it can't find Office 2016 License Files
