Hi all

I just wanted to let you know that you can run Excel2016 alongside other versions of Excel on the same computer, see snapshot image below:

Although most Users won’t need this, for some of us it is useful to run and test stuff with specific versions of Excel.
On one of my systems, after installing Excel2016, it replaced Excel2013.
I guess I would need to use some virtual PC if I wanted Excel2013 available on that particular computer too.

Microsoft does not recommend installing more than one version of Excel (or Office) on a computer.
Most users don’t get the option if they are using computers at work.

You can run 2016 and 2013 together only they are not both Click to Run. You need an MSI install for at least one of them.

Only problem I had was trying to install the 64-bit version of Office 2010 [first version available as either 32-bit or 64-bit] along with Office 2003, mostly wanted to keep FrontPage 2003. Office 2010 didn’t like it so got rid of 2003 applications and since my Domain Host wanted to get away from supporting FrontPage extensions it was a good time to go with Microsoft Expression Web for HTML editing.

Before you wonder "Am I doing things right," ask "Am I doing the right things?"

If you want to run 64 bit and 32bit versions, you have to install the 64 bit first and then the 32 bit. I wouldn’t recommend it though.
