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...

These days I see many queries in Microsoft technet forum related to COM Addin's not getting loaded into locally installed MS Office 2016 c2r version. So to help others, I have listed the possible solutions which I have gathered from my experience and from other blog posts in a single article below. ISSUE: 1. Sequence Microsoft Office 2016 addin's using App-V 5.1 Sequencer 2. Publish the sequenced addin's package in the client side which has App-V 5.1 client and  Microsoft Office 2016 c2r locally installed 3. Launch the Microsoft Office 2016 c2r Word/Excel using /appvve: or RunVirtual registry key to load them into the  published addin's virtual environment to test the addin's. 4. we see that the addin is not loaded.
