Beginning with Strategy versions 10.4.5 and 10.9 (tentatively scheduled to be released at the end of Q3 2017), Microsoft Office 2016 is fully certified with Strategy Office. Defects fixed in the certification of Microsoft Office 2016 are listed below.
General Installation
- Strategy Office fails to install with the Win 64 bit installer version with an error that the version is not recognized. We have found that the users can in fact install using the 32 bit version and have not seen any adverse issues in doing so
- Workaround/Recommendation: When prompted, the user needs to select 32 bit as the installer option and proceeds as normal through the installation steps.
