How to uninstall unwanted programs on Office 365 ProPlus

Dear Sir,
I use Windows 8.1 and use Office 365 ProPlus. When I install it, the Office is streamed and installed as a whole in my computer.
How can I remove the unwanted program (like Access) ?
Thanks,
Joe.

The setup.exe version is 15.0.4623.1001
I also use your configuration's content to test, but it still get the same error.
It refers to below link :
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2696484/en-us
As a test I tried this:
<Configuration>
<Add SourcePath="" OfficeClientEdition="32" >
<Product ID="VisioProRetail">
<Language ID="en-us" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Visio" />
</Product>
</Add>
</Configuration>
This installed VisioPro, with the Visio application "Excluded".
The end result = VisioPro was "installed" without the Visio "application".
(yes, it's kind of a stupid test, but it verified the syntax on the XML file)
To make this work, I needed to uninstall VisioPro first.
You may need to uninstall/reinstall Office, since your Office installation state may be inconsistent?
[if you do this, apply your modified XML file during the reinstallation (/configure) phase]

How to determine who has activated Office 365 ProPlus?

Is there a way to see who a copy of Office 365 ProPlus has been activated by, without logging into the user's Office 365 portal? Does this get tracked in some report, or some registry key? Thanks.

How do I uninstall unwanted programs?

Is there an easy way to quickly uninstall unwanted programs?
A few months ago, I installed a program called Plaxo, but after a short while I decided I didn´t want to use it any more.
The trouble is, it simply won´t go away!
Every time I start up the computer, I get an info that there is a new upgrade for the program - how do I get rid of it?
Kind regards
Willi Prochnow Sletten

If the application did not come with an uninstaller, I use a program like AppCleaner (free).
It will usually delete .plist files and cache files that were installed with the Application. This is useful if you don't know where to look.
Just dragging the App to the trash is often not enough as you may not be aware of all the support files that were installed in caches, preferences, application support.
If I no longer have the disc image of the program, I will search for it on google, download the installer again and look for an uninstall option. If there isn't one, I use AppCleaner.

How do I uninstall unwanted programs and Apps?

how do I uninstall unwanted programs/Apps on my MacPro?

Go to:
Finder > Applications
Drag the Application to the Trash.
Empty The Trash
Dragging the Application Icon from anywhere else will not work.
The Icons of Applications in the (Finder > Applications) are actually the Application files.
If you right click an Applation in (Finder > Applications) and click 'Show Package Contents', all the files associated with the Application should be stored there.
So dragging the Application Icon in (Finder > Applications) to the Trash will uninstall it.

Dear Microsoft ,
I try to create group in office 365 admin panel but in that group when i add outsider mail id eg([email protected],[email protected]) is not created ...it's showing error.Can please help me to how i create public group in office 365 ?

Hi,
Which error message does it show?
Based on my research, internal users (users that have a mailbox in your organization) and external users (people that don’t have a mailbox in you organization) can be added as members of a distribution group. However, only external users
that have been added to your organization’s address book (also known as shared contacts), can be members of a group. For information about how to add external users to your organization’s address book, see

Hope this helps.

Uninstall Office 2010/2013 to deploy Office 365 ProPlus

following clarification is needed:-
some of the pc is installed with Office 64 Bit edition, we are trying to remove the existing office (desktop) before deploying office 365 ProPlus. SCCM 2012 R2 is going to be used to uninstall office. my question is that can I remove/uninstall 64 bit Office
using 32 Bit setup.exe or it has to be 64 bit for 64 bit office and 32 bit setup.exe for 32 bit office.
also if I am looking for assistance to create query that can result in 64 bit and 32 bit office using SCCM. please paste the query in the response if possible.

I would recommend that deploy a script that first removes the old version of Office and then Deploy the new version.
My favorite script tool to use with SCCM is the PowerShell App Deployment Toolkit, and that would be great in this example too.

My safari browser seems to have been taken over by a malicious program called only-search. Does any one know how to uninstall this program from safari? I am running osX 10.10.

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Please anyone help me about to above issue to resolve before uninstalling office 2010..........

Hi,
I have tested this in my testing environment that by default Office 365 Pro Plus will take over your existing Office 2010 files if you install Office 365 Pro Plus later. And the new Office icon will show on all of your existing files.
Usually, do a Online Repair of the Microsoft Office 365 Pro Plus will fix the broken of file type associations. Not sure how you repaired your Office 365 Pro Plus, please try again follow the steps below:
1.Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click
Programs and Features.
2.Click your Microsoft Office program, and then click Change.
3.Select Online Repair, and then click Repair.
If the Online Repair doesn't fix the issue, I would suggest you to try using Microsoft Fix It tool to remoe Office 365 completely, then reinstall it:

Office 365 ProPlus deployment and Automation

I will starting a project deploying office 365 ProPlus in an enterprise and seeking assistance on following:-
customer Scenario:
1- SCCM 2012 R2
2- Active Directory 2008 R2
3- Mix of Office 2010/2013 professional installed on client machine
I would like to understand following:-
Installation Scenario:
1- on Office 2013 installed desktop, can I run office 365 Proplus installation on top of existing office 2013 client (standalone)
2- on Office 2010 installed desktop, can I run office 365 Proplus installation on top of existing office 2010 client (standalone)
Uninstallation Scenario:
1- if existing Office need to be removed before deploying cloud Office, what is the best procedure to automate the installation of existing office client from desktop pc either using group policy or SCCM.
I am looking for fully automated uninstallation procedure irrespective of existing Office version or separately for Office 2010 and Office 2013 either using group policy or SCCM.
Farrukh Anwar

Hi Farrukh,
For the installation scenario, you can run the latest version of Office (click-to-run based version) side-by-side with an earlier version of Office that is already installed on your computer. That is to say:
MSI-based version of Office 2013 on a system with Click-To-Run-based version of Office 2013 (Office 365 Proplus ) installed side-by-side is not supported.
MSI-based version of Office 2010 and Click-To-Run-based version of Office 2013 (Office 365 Proplus ) will run side-by-side, but we don't recommend this for a long-term use.
Regarding the uninstallation scenario, you can automate the uninstallation of existing Office via
command line. It will look similar to the following example:
\\server\share\Office12\setup.exe /uninstall ProPlus /config <pathtoUninstallconfig.xml>\UninstallConfig.xml
You can easily integrate this command line into SCCM or a Group Policy computer startup scripts.
Here is a great blog post about how to upgrade to the latest version of Office, you might want to have a look:

Do I need to purchase Office 365 A3 plan for faculty to get free Office 365 ProPlus for students in Office 365?

Hi there
Our school has A2 plan for both students and faculty. We recently contacted our reseller and placed an order for free Office 365 ProPlus A for our students. We received an acknowledgement from Microsoft regarding this order saying that it was successfull
and I can see the license added when I log into the VLSC website. Problem is, I can't see this licence listed when I log into Office 365 admin. It is not listed under subscriptions or licenses. Apologize for my ignorance, but I don't know how can I get this
license added in Office 365 so that our students can start using editable versions of office apps on their IPADs. Do we need to purchase Office 365 A3 plan for our staff to get this student's license enabled in Office 365? Can somebody please help?

I have similar questions concerning getting started with the Student Advantage program offering.
I've read the blog posts and made as many as 5 calls to Office 365 and still do not understand how to get this going.
We have a subscription to Education A2 for both faculty and students that we started in January 2014. We receive this at no charge. So I'm starting with a subscription at no cost. I do not have an Education Reseller because we started our
subscription through the website with a trial and had that converted to the no cost A2 plan.
When I am in the portal and look under 'Purchase Services' I can see the option to add Office ProPlus for Faculty at $2.00/user/month and for Office ProPlus for Students at $1.50/user/month. My understanding of Student Advantage is that if I license
all my faculty/staff accounts for Office ProPlus I would then get the Student access at no charge. So I've licensed the Office ProPlus for Faculty for all of our faculty accounts yet I cannot get a clear answer about how to get the Student accounts added
at no cost.
I most recently was told by Office 365 support that I needed to speak to a reseller, which I did today. He told me that I would need to do one of two things.
1. Upgrade my no cost A2 faculty accounts to A3. Which for me and what I see in the portal would take them from $0 to $4.50/user/month. With that A3 for faculty I would get the Office ProPlus for the Students accounts on A2 at no charge.
2. I would need an Open Value license covering all school FTEs for Office at a cost of about $29/user/year.
Both of these options are higher than licensing all Faculty accounts for Office ProPlus via the portal at $2/user/month which I have already done.
So I don't understand why that doesn't qualify us for Student Advantage and now have to license all FTE, most of whom don't even touch a computer, for Office.

Office 365 ProPlus will not install

Hi,
I have tried many attempts at manually installing Office 365 ProPlus using the deployment toolkit but so far nothing has worked. I downloaded the bits first and I'm now trying to install Office using the deployment toolkit. This test is in preparation of
a deployment of Office 365 ProPlus throughout our organization. The bits are copied to C:\Office365 and actually reside in C:\Office365\Data. I copied the deployment toolkit to C:\Office 365.
The test computer is freshly imaged using Windows 7 SP1 Enterprise 32-bit from media and is in a workgroup so I don't get any company policies added. All available Windows updates have been installed. Windows Update is enabled but set to only notify
about updates rather than automatically install.
Install.xml looks like this:
<Configuration>
    <Add SourcePath="C:\Office365\Data\" OfficeClientEdition="32" >
    <Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail">
      <Language ID="en-us" />
    </Product>
</Add>
<Updates Enabled="TRUE" UpdatePath="C:\Office365\Updates\" />
<Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
<Property Name="AUTOACTIVATE" Value="1" />
</Configuration>
I open a command window as administrator, navigate to C:\Office365 and run - setup /configure C:\Office365\install.xml. I changed the command line in many ways but it always fails to install with the same error message. A window appears that says
"Couldn't install - We're sorry, we had a problem installing your Office program(s). Is your internet connection working? Do you have enough free space on your main hard drive? Please try installing again after you've checked the above.
My internet connection is good and my hard drive has over 100GB free. I tried clicking the link "Go online for additional help" but that didn't help at all. The Windows Firewall is turned off. No anti-virus is installed and no proxy is in use.
Does anyone know how to move past this issue?
Thanks,
Rob

I can see it installing now but I need to be sure it's not pulling bits from the internet. I had this happen before when I completely removed the SourcePath. Display level is set to "full" but I am not getting an interface. When I'm done with this
project, display level will be 'none' but I changed it for now just to see something happen.
UPDATED:
I reinstalled Windows 7 SP1 and did not install any drivers. The test computer has no network connectivity of any kind because drivers are required. I copied my downloaded bits to the test computer and ran the install. Office 365 installed without any errors.
I'm absolutely convinced that there is no way the bits were downloaded on-demand in this configuration.
Here is the final XML file I used:
<Configuration>
    <Add SourcePath="C:\Office365\" OfficeClientEdition="32" >
    <Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail">
      <Language ID="en-us" />
    </Product>
</Add>
<Updates Enabled="TRUE" UpdatePath="C:\Office365\" />
<Display Level="none" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
<Property Name="AUTOACTIVATE" Value="1" />
</Configuration>
Here is the final folder/file arrangement:
C:\Office365\setup.exe
C:\Office365\install.xml
C:\Office365\Office\Data\v32.cab
C:\Office365\Office\Data\v32_15.0.4659.1001.cab
C:\Office365\Office\Data\15.0.4659.1001\i321033.cab
C:\Office365\Office\Data\15.0.4659.1001\i641033.cab
C:\Office365\Office\Data\15.0.4659.1001\s320.cab
C:\Office365\Office\Data\15.0.4659.1001\s321033.cab
C:\Office365\Office\Data\15.0.4659.1001\stream.x86.en-us.dat
C:\Office365\Office\Data\15.0.4659.1001\stream.x86.x-none.dat
Thanks a lot for your help! I really appreciate it!

Unable to license Office 365 ProPlus when customized at the application level

It has long been claimed that Office 365 ProPlus can only be installed as one single package, and that Click-to-Run is not customizable at the application level. Microsoft lists the following at
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj839718.aspx “Office 365 ProPlus installs as one package. This means you can't choose to deploy Word and PowerPoint to users, but not Access.
If you don’t want users to run Access, you can customize the installation by using App-V. You can also use AppLocker to prevent users from starting certain Office applications.”
Can anyone then explain the purpose of the additional product ID’s specified in the following kb article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2842297
Using the product ID’s listed here, I set the Configuration.xml file to selectively install only four Office products, which included Access, Excel, PowerPoint and Word. In this example, I removed the Product ID O365ProPlusRetail and instead just included
the Product ID’s for the individual applications we wanted to install.
<Configuration>
<Add OfficeClientEdition="32">
   <Product ID="AccessRetail" >
     <Language ID="en-us" />
   </Product>
   <Product ID="ExcelRetail" >
     <Language ID="en-us" />
   </Product>
   <Product ID="PowerPointRetail" >
     <Language ID="en-us" />
   </Product>
   <Product ID="WordRetail" >
     <Language ID="en-us" />
   </Product>
</Add>
<Updates Enabled="TRUE" />
<Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
<Logging Name="OfficeSetup.txt" Path="%temp%" />
</Configuration>
Given what I had read throughout multiple areas of documentation, especially the line that mentions, “Click-to-Run is not customizable at the application level,” I was surprised and excited to see that the click to run installer only installed the applications
that I specified.
Using the Configuration.xml file I specified above, I was able to complete a custom install of Office 365 ProPlus, and included only programs that I wanted to have installed.
The issue comes when you go to license the software. I can launch any of the individual programs without issue, but I am unable to complete the process of activating the license.
For example, see below where I have launched Word, entered my account information and attempted to activate. Everything has worked fine up to this point, but I am told that I cannot activate because the product is not installed. It seems that
my custom install has prevented needed information from being added to my system to allow for the activation wizard to detect the presence of the installed Office software and to activate appropriately.
Can anyone from Microsoft comment on this? Is there any way possible to proceed given my configurations? If not, what is the purpose of
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2842297 ?
In what case would you actually be able to use the additional product IDs? (AccessRetail, ExcelRetail, WordRetail, etc.)

Whilst I don't work for MS, I have a few thoughts on this..
The documentation refers to the use of ODT for customisation, but that is mainly for customising the install-time aspects and the update sources, not the resultant feature state.
For controlling feature state, either AppLocker of re-packaging/sequencing via App-V is suggested.
KB2842297 mentions the products that ODT will "recognise" for the purposes of "customisation", but doesn't really detail how nor why.
C2R, as it is a pre-packaged sequenced output, is intended to be consumed as-is, by the vast majority.
Re-packaging/sequencing of a complex product such as Office isn't for the faint of heart (and to be honest, the installers for Office have long been a complex topic over many years)
MS have stated for many years that the individual component applications of the Office suites, are not permitted to be broken up out of the suite, for license compliance.
e.g. If you install OfficeProPlus, and via customisation, disable or do-not-install specific component apps, you must hold a license for the relevant suite (ProPlus in this example).
Even if you re-compose the resultant installed apps, such that only those apps that would equate to OfficeStd, because you installed ProPlus, it is a ProPlus license that you must hold.
Similarly, if you were to install individual apps, composing a feature-equivalent result to ProPlus, and "functionally" have the same set of apps that ProPlus would give you, holding a license for ProPlus is not sufficient, becuase it is not ProPlus
that you have installed.
So, when you modified the configuration XML, and downloaded and installed "WordRetail" + "ExcelRetail" etc, this is not equivalent to ProPlus (neither from an installed-product perspective, nor from a licensing perspective).
It seems to me, that your license (as recorded/represented in your MS account) is finding that you have products installed for which you don't hold a license.
And, that the license that you do hold, is not a match for the products you are trying to activate.
In years gone by, MS did make available individual products (e.g. Word, Excel etc) for sale.
I don't know if MS continue do make individual apps, in C2R form, available for sale, but the Office product team have created ODT in such a way that ODT can cater for them.
Perhaps in some global markets, or possibly in the future, MS might make those individual products available in C2R form.
So I'm not all that surprised, based on nothing more than previous experience (sprinkled with some assumption and theory), that you've found some interesting, slightly-mystifying things ;)

Office 365 ProPlus Outlook freezes

I am doing a 365 deployment for a company and some of the users previously had office 2007 and some had office 2013. The issue I am running into deals with the people that had office 2007. I use the Microsoft Fix It tool to uninstall Office 2007. After the
computer restarts, I install Office 365 ProPlus from OWA for each individual user. When setting up these people's Outlook profiles, it always hangs up on the Windows Security Credentials asking for the exchange password again. I have to open task manager and
close out Outlook. There are no issues with the users who had 2013 installed on their computers. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

Hi,
We may need to collect information from the Event Logs to find the cause of this issue.
Press Win + R, type "eventvwr" in the blank box, press Enter.
Browse to Windows Logs -> Application, once the issue occurs, there should be some error messages from which we may find the cause of the problem.
You can also send us the logs if there is any, thus we can help analyze the issue. To protect your private information, please send the information to our email address:
