    just a thought, but could people post versions with their working, not working posts. a few cases i've found where older versions work but newer versions don't. may help when people post solutions.

    Same issue,
    here is what i have found, if using 2012 r2 essentials connector it does not have the MSU file needed for it, it will simply try for an older windows, for the tech preview version of windows server essentials the connector has the MSU but for some reason only downloads 48kb of it before failing when it trys to install, this issue with the tech preview version of the server also affects windows 8.1 and possibily all other supported ones if u use the tech preview connector.

    DX12 isn't shipping in the tech Preview, AFAIK...;) DX/D3d 12 isn't ready for prime time and won't be for another ~9-~12 months, from what I've heard. I'm running d3d 11.x in my TP--because that ships with 8.x, presumably and is the latest version of DX to see release. Everyone who runs D3d games should, without exception and without regard to OS version installed, be running D3d9.0c...last version shipped was June 10 2010, I believe. Earlier versions of DX do *not* overwrite later versions (they happily coexist) and if you do more than just talk about gaming you need DX9.0c installed to ensure backwards compatibility with the multitude of D3d9-specific games that exist (They are still being written--Larian Studios' excellent Divinity: Original Sin is just such a game.) The theory is that all latter versions of DX are backwards compatible with all earlier versions of DX all the way back to at least DX6.x or so. In reality, though, some of the older DX games call for files that no longer exist separately in the subsequent versions of DX, so it all boils down to installing the full compliment of DX versions if you play games because it won't hurt anything and is guaranteed to improve DX game compatibility.

    As of now everything I was running under 8.1x64 is running fine under the TechPreview...no problems, games, etc. I know without a doubt that at least in my case it's going to be far more productive and informative to write down the applications and games that are not compatible as that's going to be a much, much shorter list. Really, most everyone should be recording software that doesn't work, imo, as opposed to software that does...

    Run it as administrator and see if you are still experiencing the problem.

    On that Windows 10 Ent TP I installed Office 2013 Pro and used MTK 2.52 to activate which just works fine. I didn't used my real license because:
    1. this is just for testings on the Windows 10 Previes
    2. I use all possible activation of my license already

    It is possible to install Office on 3 different computers: 1. Office, 2. Home PC and 3. Laptop for mobile use, all as the same licensor because you could use mainly only one of them the same time. Maybe for the Home and Student Version that is different.

    So, mainly you shouldn't have a problem with activation on Windows 10 by using the MTK 2.52!
