HI all,
I installed Win11 (because Win10 not recommended and not anymore available as preview) successfull. Then I tried to install either MS Office 2021 or MS Project Prof 2021 and I get either a Error 30068-44 (Office) or I get a "The system can not find the file specified". In pure win10 environemt both of them run easy. Am I the only one with this problem ?`

Thanks for any comments !

Cheers Peter
 
I imagine the issue is that the installers are x86/x64 and may not work. You may look into seeing if the (forget the term) files are installed that are Supposed to adapt x86/x64->ARM, but I've had no success in the little I tested.
You are completly right. I think all the cloud versions of MS office products will run bcs in the meanwhile they also support ARM. But the "on-prem" installer have exactly this problem. I will try out the cloud based versions. Thanks for your comments !
 
Hello,
but that doesn't seem to be quite right. For example, if I take an Office 2019 Retial Image (ISO), I get an Office installed, not a 365!If I use the Office Deploy Tool, I get the download to Parallels/W11 with a valid XML, but the install (configure) does not.
There is also no error message that I can see, but nothing is installed.

Anybody got an idea?Thank you, Greetings
