Issues installing Office 365 on pc with/without Edge Chromium
I assumed you're on Windows 10, but from the screenshot looks like you're using Windows 7, right?
or using something like Startisback to change the start menu? I don't know
Check here, my Office 365 pro plus files are in this folder
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16

Thanks for the tip. This morning I gave it again a try and installed Office 365 on my laptop, with... Edge Chromium.

Pinned them to the start menu.
It is working fine now.
Thank you both for the tip!

even though the issue is solved now, with your help and this r-click pinning to start workaround, it remains strange nonetheless. I know people who are not familiar with forums, hence they would not be able to solve this. They expect the software to work properly 'out of the box'.
Again, many thanks!
- I'm glad you fixed your problem,
But lots of questions remain though, and for someone else who might find this question it will be confusing.
1. Which version of Windows are you using?
2. are you using any tools that modifies Start Menu and its behavior?I am using Windows 10 x64 latest build (both desktop and laptop)
Yes, I use Start10 to get me the old-fashioned startmenu.
- That Is the reason that created the confusion for you.
you can disable/remove it, try Office/Edge installation again and you will see the problem won't happen this time. 🙂
