The other is to use the "Office Deployment Tool". I am pretty sure I remember reading there was a way to mix products coming from separate installers, like Office Pro and Project.
But the real solution is for MS to create CTR installers that bundle the required programs into a single installer. It would be a trivial effort for MS to do, and it would save so much wasted user time trying to fix this sort of stupid install problem.
They won't Instead, you can just VirtualBox like we do to create virtual machines for all of your testing. You can even set up shared folders and clipboards between the virtual and host systems. Guest Additions: These optional, open-source files provide numerous — and important — added functions that take VirtualBox VPCs beyond the basics.
Guest Additions add features such as better video support via custom, virtual video drivers , seamless mouse integration between the guest and host operating system, bidirectional clipboard support to allow cutting and pasting between the host and guest OS , shared folders a folder on the host PC can be accessed by one or more VPCs for easy file-sharing , and more.
All current Windows versions allow for test installations. Windows will operate normally — though perhaps with some additional nag screens or limits on nonessential functions — for a month or more the grace period varies by version and edition. In January , Microsoft ended mainstream support for Windows 7, and the five-year extended support phase began. In January , the Windows 7 support lifecycle will officially end.
This tool is intended for Business Office Administrators. Apparently it may also be used for consumer Office bundles. I have not tried it myself, rohn Reboot 1. This will place setup. Using group policy, there are over settings you can control via the deployment tool. I tried your method, and when I launched the program from CMD, I immediately got error code after it got elevated privileges. I do have Office installed still.
Phil, I beg to differ. That article you referred to is "revisionist history", the new, "Official" company party line. And a flat out lie!
CTR is another name for "Virtual Computer" technology. The key intent of virtual computers is to isolate the programs running inside of the virtual from the rest of the programs running on the computer.
Other virtual computer technologies explicitly allow you to run multiple "VM" virtual machines on one hardware. This allows you to use more of the currently unused CPU cycles, making your machine "more efficient". Office "Starter", the dumbed down "free" version that was a replacement for free "MS Works" ran inside of an earlier version of CTR.
It was happy to run along side Office , , , Well, more or less happy That was the first version that allowed that to happen. I had to install second, which is contrary to generally accepted practice, but it works. Essentially everything I know about Windows and Office is stuff I learned "on-the-job". I have had very little "formal" MS training. Threats include any threat of suicide, violence, or harm to another.

It provides another way to get MS's attention, a way to maybe make MS pay a little for the pain they have inflicted on us though their bugs.

You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread. You must be referring to something else. Please clarify. It sounds like you have an illegal or cloned copy of Project. I've seen several offered for sale on the internet. If you feel you have a valid legal copy of the software I suggest you contact Microsoft support and plead your case.
Those of us who respond on this forum neither work for nor are associated with Microsoft, so there's nothing we can do to help you. Offline installer from microsoft site fails with these message.
Okay if you know you have a full legal copy of Project yet are unable to activate it over the internet of via automated phone then I suggest you call Microsoft Support.
I do not have a click-to-run version so I am not familiar with the activation process. However, those of us who respond on this forum are all volunteers. We do not work for, nor are we associated with, Microsoft so this probably isn't the best place to get an answer to your question.
It may be possible that one of the volunteers who does have a click-to-run version can lend some assistance, but it not, call Microsoft Support. By the way, the link you included microsoft site is a link to Visual Studio team services and has nothing to do with Project.
