I had Office 2016 installed and I went to reinstall it because I was having some issues. Now when I try to install I get the following error
![Software Software](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/77/Microsoft_Office_2019.png)
Error 1920. Service 'Office Software Protection Platform' (oppsvc) failed to start'
Sep 18, 2011 The Office Software Protection Platform service is generally started on demand when a user has started Office, however, there are license types which can start the service otherwise (such as those using a Key Management Server). Aug 18, 2016 This video show How to Start or Stop Software Protection Service in Windows 10 Pro. I use Dell Inspiron 14 3000 Series in this tutorial. Microsoft word tutorial. FIX Microsoft Office. It is started as a Windows Service called 'Office Software Protection Platform' with the name 'osppsvc' and described as “Enables the download, installation, and enforcement of digital licenses for Microsoft Office applications. These applications require this service for proper operation.
When I go to manually start the service I get
Office Software Protection Platform Install
https://skieycanna702.weebly.com/standchen-schubert-pdf.html. Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified
Which is strange because I can see the file path to
'C:Program FilesCommon FilesMicrosoft SharedOfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatformOSPPSVC.EXE'
existsI have tried changing the Log-On as for the service to be my account or Local System Account but it does not work.
I even tried to install Office 2013 and I get the exact same issue.
How can I install any version of Office if I cannot get past the installation?

It is a issue with the Software Protection service. I had this issue forever and tried many different solutions online to fix this; many MS uninstallers, 3rd party, different versions of Office from 2010, 2013, 2016, etc.
This is what finally fixed it (also if need be manually start your Software Protection Service):
Drop this into a command prompt that you are running as an administrator:
It should give you the output similar to this:
Microsoft Office Software Protection Platform Service Disable
After that, I was able to get both Office 2016 and 2013 installed.
