Description

Installs MS Office2016 so you can run MS Word 2016, MS Excel 2016, etc. in PlayOnLinux.

The script needs one of the original office 2016 install DVD ISO images from back in 2015; you can find them around, all languages together about 80Gb. You can find the original SHA1 checksums online so you are sure not to install a pirated version.
Microsoft switched to now distributing setup.exe and image files (e.g. the Office Deployment Tool) that have all updates in them. THESE VERSIONS DO NOT WORK, because on the run MS added a check that win7 is no longer supported!

Of course, after installation the applications WILL ask for product key and you WILL have to activate after a few weeks of trial time, so you can only use this if you have a LEGAL license!

This method worked to get Office 2016 installed.  READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!! MUST HAVE OLDER VERSION OF THE INSTALLER

Some further tweeks were needed to make Shapes work in documents.

-Turn off video accelleration in Office 2016

-install msxml6 in the prefix and configure (in wine) to run Native then Builtin

-Add this DWORD entry to the Registry in the prefix:  \\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct2D    max_version_factory 0

These steps were derived from this old post: https://askubuntu.com/questions/975104/how-do-i-install-ms-office-2016-on-playonlinux/1233780#1233780?newreg=5e6a187ff86049f2856d3f9122044978

 

Thanks

Hello,

 

I'm using a Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
Since I need to use the Microsoft Office for some documents, I've bought a Microsoft Office 2016 Pro Plus license and tried to install it using playonlinux. 

It is partially working, meaning that it can create the wine, but when it gets to the actual installation

 

and then it displayes:

 

 

Any sollutions/ideas for this?

I get a load failure from a POL error. Then each MS Office app gives me a POL shortcut error link. I cannot post a bug report with my username in the login. I don't know what to do next. I purchased the DVD, which can't be returned based on the information in PlayOnLinux. Now what?

Hi there,

I am trying to get this working with original DVD of MS Office 2016 x32.

The setup seems to run smoothly (after I copied the correct msxml_x86.msi in the ressources folder). But then fails at about 2/3 of the progress with a fatal error in msiexec.exe

Do you have an idea what the problem or perhaps the solution could be?

Best regards!
Samuel

This installation currently crashes at this script function:
POL_Call POL_Install_msxml6

The call fails and reports a download file error (MD5 mismatch) - i have uploaded an error report.

I have run this call outside if this script and it fails there as well - i.e. the function POL_Call POL_Install_msxml6  needs to be fixed.

I cannot figure out why outlook cannot connect to internet by any way. Others like word/excel connect to network but outlook gives error while trying to connect to any server

Why this change? I have MSO 2016 working with Windows Version 7 in POL 4.3.4 with Wine 7.0 but Windows versions 8.1 or 10 make it crash. If you managed to get it working with 10, then there must be a change.

NOTE to ALL: When selecting the setup file from your DVD iso image, select the 32bits version. The 64bits setup will NOT work!

I have MSO 2016 working with Windows Version 7 in POL 4.3.4 with Wine 5.8 or 7.0. The issue I found later is not starting Word/Excel if file is corrupted and it needs to give some popup. Instead of giving popup like "Repair..", splash screen is showing "Opening FileName 100%" and it stays like that. Curious why.
