Help Microsoft Office Installation Error

That error normally appears when installing Office 2016 ProPlus. The error is thrown because the line that contains <Language ID> was removed and the configuration.xml looks something like this:

<Add SourcePath=”c:office365″ OfficeClientEdition=”64″ >
<Product ID=”O365ProPlusRetail”>
</Product>

Adding the line for <Language ID> should fix the problem. If you want to edit your configuration.xml file, make sure it contains the following or else you will run into problems:

<Configuration>

<Add SourcePath=”c:office365” OfficeClientEdition=“64” >
<Product ID=”O365ProPlusRetail”>
<Language ID=”en-us” />
</Product>
<Product ID=”VisioProRetail”>
<Language ID=”en-us” />
</Product>
</Add>

<Updates Enabled=”TRUE” UpdatePath=”\ServerShareOffice” />
<Display Level=”None” AcceptEULA=”TRUE” />
<Logging Name=”OfficeSetup.txt” Path=”%temp%” />
<Property Name=”AUTOACTIVATE” Value=”1″ />

</Configuration>

After this, you should be able to successfully install Office 2016 ProPlus.
