(Click-to-run is the technology used to install Office 365 Pro Plus; Windows Installer technology (MSI) is the technology used to install Visio 2016 and Project 2016.)

- Make sure all versions of Office, Visio, and Project are either 32-bit or 64-bit. You can’t have a mix of both. (Essential Stanford Software distributes the 32-bit version of all.)
