I did but I keep seeing it for some reason. The first one has a value of 1 There is no folder Office in HKey_Local_Machine under Software\Policies\Microsoft I did not use the O2016RTool
The first one (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\General) containing a value of 1 is correct. This means "don't show again". No idea, why it won't work. Update: You tried as "restricted user account" or as "user with admin rights"? The second one will be created, when O2016RTool's (T) Disable Telemetry function is used. To all: But O2016RTool won't help here, as I've made a misinterpretation (show <> shown) and set this to "0". This will be corrected in the next release.
Now I have problem while install the Office through O2016RTool that once I select the current version ( any version ) It's show me this error ( Couldn't Install ): We're Sorry, but we cannot verify the signature of files requested to install your office product... see attachment please.
In attachment / screenshot there are some very strange characters in the files DATE field shown. Could be the case, your download is somehow corrupted? Anyway, I'm just downloading Current/Retail channel install package und report back how install is going... Update: Download finished, install is running fine atm. No errors. Update: Install, conversion and activation finished. No errors. All is working as expected. I suggest to redo download. If this doesn't help, then the next step is using FixIt-Tool to completely remove all Office traces. I'm sure - if the download is correct -, that after using FixIt-Tool setup will work.
Well I have do that, and completely remove the Office from my PC, but still give me this error when I download the current Office Business or whatever version,.. Shall I change the directory of the office where I install it or what should I do ? please help am stuck in this downloading since 3 days!
Strange. OK here are some tips: - O2016RTool should be extracted/saved in dir "O2016RTool". But other dir-name is fine, too. - Office download-dir-name should have no special characters, brackets or german Umlauts. You didn't reply to the "strange" characters in date-field shown in your file attachment/screenshot. Are they still there? To me it looks like this indicates there is something wrong on your system.
16.0.8201.2025 is Insider SLOW Ring - Insider FAST has 16.0.8117.1000 As I don't know, you have to ask Microsoft why Insider SLOW has newer version than Insider FAST.
Well finally it's work now, I have remove the old O2016RTool and download it again, also I have mention there is a new version of ( First release of current build ) 16.0.8201.2025 ( Capture ) After install it it's works fine now, but the issue now with older files of excel it's not working !! how could I convert it to the latest version of Excel ?

I think you mixed up Office "distribution channels" and "versions / build-numbers". Officially there exist 5 distribution channels which have different feature sets. Each channel contains all known Office versions, such as ProfessionalPlus, Office 365, Office 365 Business and so on. O2016RTool checks all 5 channels at start if there is a new build available. But you have to know which channel you are using. If there is a new version for your channel, then you can start internal update or download a new installation package of this new version for a later install. Now I list "distribution channels" descending by feature set, showing channel with newest updates first: Insider Fast ( = Insider / Beta FAST channel, faster updates and newest feature improvements , 2-3 updates a month) First Release for Current ( = Insider / Beta SLOW channel, slower updates and feature improvements, 1-2 updates a month ) Current ( = Retail channel, that's the standard channel, 1 update a month ) First Release for Deferred ( = Business used Beta-/test-channel, slower update periods > every 2 months ) Deferred ( = Business used, slowest updates > every 4 months, has the least feature set ) I told you to install "Current", because this is standard channel with standard update and feature set. Now it looks like you installed "First Release for Current". As shown in list above, this is BETA-channel. You can stay with Office from a Beta-channel. But I still suggest, you should move over to "Current" channel. This will be the best mixture of stability and feature set. You can change an already installed Office to use an other distribution channel with O2016RTool. Just select (U) CHANGE OFFICE UPDATE-PATH (SWITCH DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL) and enter "C" for switching to "Current" channel. After confirming change, O2016RTool starts downloading Office from selected channel and installs.
Do you know about Windows10Upgrade ?? I have saw a new update is coming for Windows 10 Creators Update... shall we install it or not yet ?
Can someone explain if there is any reason to use one KMS tool over another with Office applications. ie. KMS_VL_ALL vs KMSpico (is there any advantage or is it whatever gets the job accomplished or just personal pref)
To all (especially the last 2 guys): To keep this thread neat and clear, please try to stay on topic "office-2016-download-install-activation". I know that you are thankful and want to show that. But please avoid "Thank You" posts and use "LIKE"-button instead. This will help others finding information they are searching for much faster. Thank you for your respect. Update: Appreciation to "Solarsails" for editing/removing his "Thank you" post.
Any KMS solution will do the job, which is: Activating KMS VL activation capable products. But before doing that on a Click2Run Office, you need to convert Office from Retail to Volume first. Regarding which KMS solution to use: It's personal liking. They all work well.
I'm sorry, but I must give the "Nope" back to you. Must be some issues only on your side. Just tested. 16.0.8201.2025 is "First Release for Current Channel" (aka "Insider Slow Ring"). Downloaded, converted and activated with O2016RTool just fine and without any problems.
