This also applies to standalone applications like Access, Visio, Project, Skype for Business, or OneDrive for Business. The following rules governs whether an installation scenario is supported or not.
Two main things that determine whether Office, Project, and Visio can be installed together on the same computer are the version of the product and the installation technology used to install the product. That's because Office 365 ProPlus uses Click-to-Run as its installation technology, and in this case, having MSI and Click-to-Run installations on the same computer isn't supported. But that won't work if you're trying to install volume licensed versions of Project 2016 and Visio 2016 on the same computer that has Office 365 ProPlus.
Until now ( if you are not on office 365) ,we usually deploy volume licensed versions of Project 2016 and Visio 2016 by using the Windows Installer (MSI) installation technology. Windows Installer technology (MSI) was used to install the volume license editions of older versions of Office 2016 and older, such as Microsoft Office Professional Plus ,Microsoft Office Standard,visio and project. In all projects ,one of the critical task is to manage MSI based deployments for visio/project 2016 on computer that runs office 365 proplus (Click-to-Run).Ĭlick-to-Run is the technology used to install Office 365 proplus subscription based. I have worked on couple of office 365 proplus rollout projects.
