Build 10158 - loses Office 2016 Preview (no data lost though)

Hi there

I needed to re-install Office 2016 Preview again after updating to build 10158. - Didn't lose any data (Outlook 2016 for example uses same data files as Office 2010 which remains installed).

Not a serious issue - but could flummix a few people.

Simply re-install the Preview again.

Did not happen here... O2016 still works after upgrade to latest build.

Hi there
I think I know what happened -- I did my INITIAL upgrade from build 10147. I'm trying another upgrade from 10130 and see what happens then.

Build 10147 while good was an Unofficial build so who knows what it does on an upgrade !!.

Mind you the advantage is that my trial starts again from SCRATCH so I've got an extra free month !!!!.

Also check O2016 for upgrades, mine upgraded this morning..

It happened to me when updating from Build 10130, Jimbo. No need to try it.

Also check O2016 for upgrades, mine upgraded this morning..

Which version, Woodyard? Mine upgraded Thursday or Friday.

Outlook 2016 says 16.0.4201.1006

Outlook 2016 says 16.0.4201.1006

That's the latest version; you're good to go.

Edit:Seems to me that with the Public Preview of Office 365 (with the latest updates) out here in the wild, Microsoft is getting ready to make an announcement soon.

I went from 10147 to the current build, my 2016 didn't reinstall (That I know of) It did ask me to reactivate tho.
