If your tried installing using the scripts, there may be POL Virtual Drives with empty or partial installations.

Optional: Remove previous unsuccessful installation of Office 2016 on POL. It is uncertain whether installing these made any difference so you could try the manual installation steps below first and then come back to this step if you encounter errors. I received various errors relating to winetricks and mono from the scripts I tried previously so I had already installed these by the time I tried the manual installation. Office 2016 Pro Plus link is the first one on that page.

The below manual process essentially replicates those scripts and the advantage of this manual process is that you can see exactly where your specific setup might be encountering problems. I tried the default script that comes with POL as well as some of the other scripts provided here but they became stuck (eg Office installation does not finish) or crashed at various points (eg "file not found" error). All the apps except OneNote opens, though I have only really used Word and Excel so I can't speak for the functionality of the other apps.įirstly, try the default POL script and/or some of the other scripts here to check if they work because that would save you a lot of time and headache. I will provide directions that worked for me for a manual (non-script) installation of Microsoft Office 2016 Professional Plus on Ubuntu 18.04 using PlayOnLinux (POL) v4.3.4 and Wine x86 v3.4.
