When uninstalling office 365 silently, it is failing only when any applications like word, excel are kept open. This is because during uninstall, office checks for any running applications and prompts the user to close it which is not happening in silent uninstall. When uninstalling in UI mode, it prompts to close when any office apps are open. Since in silent mode office is not able to do this, it fails with an error code 17002. You can check in the log file for the error code 17002. To overcome this just add the property FORCEAPPSHUTDOWN with Value="True" in the uninstall config.xml file. This property will force shutdown any running office apps. Example: <Configuration>  <Remove>  <Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail" >  <Language ID="en-us" />   </Product>  </Remove> <Property Name="FORCEAPPSHUTDOWN" Value="TRUE" /> <Display Level="None"/> <Logging Path="c:\temp\" Name

[ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SOFTWARE\Microsoft\AppV\Client\Compatibility] "RegistryCompatibilityMode" = dword : 00000001 Microsoft has released an update earlier today which is supposed to fix this registry mapping issue. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4074588 We can clearly see that they have made use of the temporary fix to change the registry virtualization to use the VREG instead of
