How to load project 2016 when you get the “Compatibility with Office 365” issue (this will also work for 2021, use 2021 folder)

1. Download the latest version of the Office Deployment Tool from Microsoft at this URL https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49117
2. When it finishes downloading click on the .exe file. It will ask if you want to allow it to make changes to your computer. Click the ‘Yes’ button
3. Next it will ask you to agree to the license agreement. Click in the checkbox to agree and press the “Continue” button.
4. It will ask you to choose a location to store the extracted files. I like to create a new folder at c:\ProjectInstall
5. Now copy the attached Project2016Configuration file to the same location as you extracted the files.
6. Open a command prompt with administrative privileges. In the “Type here to search” box in the lower left of the task bar type ‘Command’ . You will see a Command Prompt App. Right click on it and choose ‘Run as administrator’ from the context menu. Type in ‘cd \projectinstall’ and hit enter.
7. Then type in ‘setup.exe /configure Project2016Configuration.xml’ and hit enter.
8. It will start the installation process. It will want to close any office apps you have open so save your work first, then close them.

Complete instructions with illustrations can be found in the document.

My Project install stopped working

Because of the way this install works the Microsoft License server may sometimes not connect and you will get errors. If this happens you will need to come see us on campus so we can help you correct the error.

Correcting this particular error cannot be done remotely, you must come to campus to correct it.

Come see us in person in the front lobby in building A on the Lawrenceville campus.
