Microsoft office professional plus 2016 encountered an error during set up free download.Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2016 Encountered an Error during Setup in Windows 7

I had other Office apps installed Visio and Project so I even removed those hoping that would fix it but setup continued to fail.

At any rate, I ended up finding the solution myself, however I do not fully understand why it was an issue to begin with. At any rate While looking at the logs I found my issue stemmed from the following command trying to be run:. It was erroring trying to register a scheduled task but was complaining that the system could not find the path specified.

After tracking with procmon I verified the XML file used for this command was actually being created. This is the path the scheduled task would actually live at so I opened Task Scheduler and drilled down through the path. Since this path was empty, I deleted the Office folder entirely from Task Scheduler and re-ran setup again. This time it finished successfully! I don’t know why the simple fact that the Office folder existed within Task Scheduler prevented this from running but its removal fixed my issue.
