Please do the following steps:
Step 1. Run command prompt as administrator.
Step 2. Copy and run the command:

I just replaced the "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office16" to C:\Users\Kicha's\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\Microsoft.Office.Desktop_8wekyb3d8bbwe and ran the .cmd file and got the above error.

Please help me out

GuangP

krishna It is not the Office folder. If you are using a preinstalled Office, I think you should reinstall it in the ProgramFiles folder.

Victoria

Hi,
I can see that you are using Office 2016 retail version and it is not supported by KMS.
