Fix “Setup Error – We can’t install the 64 bit version of Office”
To resolve this issue, you will need to uninstall all remnants of the old Microsoft Office product.
- Select the “Start” button, then type “Control“.
- Open “Control Panel” > “Programs” > “Programs and Features“.
- Look for “Microsoft Office“, “Compatibility Pack“, or anything related to Microsoft Office, and select “Uninstall” to remove it from your computer.
In the new 2013 version, you will most likely no longer need these programs.
If you still can’t install the installation after finishing, follow the steps below:
- Launch Command Prompt as an admin
- Enter the sfc /scannow command and hit Enter
Enter the following two commands and press Enter after each one:
DISM /Online /Check-Image /CheckHealth

- Turned off antivirus
- Used Install from server and the office 2016 64 bit program finished installing normally
Hope this helps someone who cannot get Office 64 Bit to install.
