I face that Excel slow openning even on Windows 8.1 but only for the first or second sheets, afterthat it's normal not a big deal
At the moment I'm stuck at the fact, that Microsoft doesn't provide accurate and unique version info in their files. There are differences between version shown in "About" window and installed version shown at Programs and Features in uninstall section. I lean towards reading "uninstall info" because it's equal to version in announcement lists from MS and the ones checked/announced by O2016RTool. But I'm not yet really satified with this situation.
The URL : h**p://tools.thecollectionbook.info/latest/ used in the batch file to get current versions of office returns a 404. So sadly the script isnt working any more
Yes, I already noticed. As this is a 3rd-party website, I asked them what happened. Answer is pending.... I wouldn't delete anything too fast. Just insert a new line (# 74) Code: line 72: echo Checking all Office 2016 distribution channels for new updates. Please wait.... line 73: echo: line 74: goto:SkipFRD ::=============================================================================================================== This will skip all the checks. If you need the latest Office build version, then look into the latest_xxxx_build.txt files and enter it manually at "set Office build >" dialogue. As it was really handy, I hope this function will be restored / re-implemented. In the meantime I will work on a fallback option (plan B) to fetch build #'s from somewhere else. But don't expect a fast result. I have to think about how "plan B" could be designed.
What about the way that Ratiborus's Office 2016 C2R Install does it with its "Get Version" button? Running HTTPNetworkSniffer when pressing that button shows that it's doing a wget of a tiny file at (the path varies according to edition): officecdn.microsoft.com.edgesuite.net/pr/64256afe-f5d9-4f86-8936-8840a6a4f5be/Office/Data/v32.cab That cab contains two small text files, each containing the version number of the given edition that you're checking.
Thanks a lot for the quick fix. I can't believe this, but just in case anyone is trying to run this on a Windows Insider build (16199, in my case), you may only be greeted with a beep when pressing a correct key to navigate the menu. But this isn't the fault of the script. The CHOICE command that it uses appears not to work at all. Running this from the command line results in the same beeping: CHOICE /C YNC /M "Press Y for Yes, N for No or C for Cancel." This may be only a problem here (I didn't test in a 16199 VM), but I think that's unlikely, since CHOICE used to work in older builds whenever I would try it via the script. I haven't used it in the last month or so, though.
Firstable I have try to install the new office and activate the 2010 Excel i have but it's keep not activated....

And this also may be useful Code: ======= CONVERT OFFICE 2016 RETAIL TO VOLUME ===================== __________________________________________________________________ Installation path = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office" __________________________________________________________________ Office Suites: Office 2016 ProfessionalPlus = "FOUND" Office 2016 Standard = "not found" Office 365 ProfessionalPlus = "not found" Office 365 Business = "not found" Office Mondo Grande Suite = "not found" __________________________________________________________________ Additional Apps: VisioPro = "FOUND" ProjectPro = "FOUND" __________________________________________________________________ Single Apps: Word = "not found" Excel = "not found" PowerPoint = "not found" Access = "not found" Outlook = "not found" Publisher = "not found" OneNote = "not found" Skype = "not found" __________________________________________________________________ Press any key to continue . . .
Perfect, that's what it should look when installed and activated. You can't. Older Office 2010 can not coexist together with Office 2016 on the same machine. You must decide what to use: Either older Office 2010 or newest Office 2016. Both is not possible and causes severe issues up to bluescreens, because common used files with same name were overwritten from the last Office install. And that produces only debris and not a well performing Office. For personal, private use "Current/Retail" distribution-channel is the correct one. If you want to be Beta-Tester for Microsoft, then "Insider FAST"- or "Insider SLOW"-channel can be used. "Insiders" get newest features first. "Insiders FAST" have the very newest, but because of that, Office may have sideeffects (hickups, crashes). You installed Office 2016 from "Deferred/Business"-channel. I would strongly suggest to remove this version with FixIt-Tool. "Deferred/Business"-Channel has the lowest feature set of all channels and get updates much later. That's because companies don't like too much changes. They want longer product-periods with the same feature set. You are set best, if you install Office from "Current/Retail"-channel.
