This is an overview of the installation behavior of Office 365 ProPlus when deployed to devices that have either Microsoft Project or Microsoft Visio installed.
Environment
Windows Platform as a Service
Issue
Visio and Project 2010 and 2013 are not compatible with the 64-bit Office 365 ProPlus deployed by MiWorkspace. In addition, Project and Visio 2016 are compatible with Office 365 ProPlus, but existing MSI-based MiWorkspace installations must be replaced with a 64-bit click-to-run (C2R) installation. Project and Visio 2019 are only compatible with Office 365.
Resolution
Review the scenarios below for information on how existing installations of different versions of Project or Visio interact with deployment of Office 365 ProPlus on MiWorkspace Windows devices:
Project 2010/2013 or Visio 2010/2013
Office 365 ProPus will not install until Project 2010 or 2013 and Visio 2010 or 2013 are uninstalled.
MiWorkspace prevents installation of Office 365 ProPlus on these devices to prevent customers from losing access to Project and Visio. Customers must either uninstall Project and Visio or upgrade to the 2016 versions prior to installing Office 365. Keep in mind that a license is required to upgrade from a previous version to the 2016 version.
Project 2016 or Visio 2016
Existing MiWorkspace Project 2016 & Visio 2016 installations are automatically uninstalled when Office 365 is installed. Following Office 365 installation, a C2R installation of the respective Project 2016 or Visio 2016 will be deployed to the device automatically. It may take several hours following Office 365 installation before the C2R version installs.
Note that hand-installed installations of Project and Visio 2016 will not be automatically convereted to a C2R install unless the 2016 version of Visio or Project has been assigned to the device in Otto. Also, the C2R deployments of Visio and Project 2016 are only available as push deployments from Otto. Self-service deployments for the C2R versions are not available.
Project 2019 or Visio 2019
Project 2019 and Visio 2019 should only be installed on devices that already have Office 365 installed. A license must be purchased prior to installation of Project or Visio 2019.
