Hi
I am following the steps as per this link
Getting error at the stage: "Create the Office Online Server farm (HTTPS)" or "Create the Office Online Server farm (HTTP)"
New-OfficeWebAppsFarm : The operation failed. The server did not meet the following prerequisites:
- Microsoft Office is installed on this machine. Please remove it.
At line:1 char:1
+ New-OfficeWebAppsFarm -InternalURL "http://dev-myserver01/OOS" -AllowHttp
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hi sevenhills,
It requires server to be Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows Server 2016. What's your Windows server version?
Form the error message, it indicates the server has Office installed. Please double check it.
As you mention the error occurs when you follow that article, which step you perform has this issue occur?
Best Regards,

sevenhillsI am installing it, on Windows Server 2012 R2 and I dont have office installed.
I am following the steps as per this link
Getting error at the stage: "Create the Office Online Server farm (HTTPS)" or "Create the Office Online Server farm (HTTP)"
i.e., when executing this command
New-OfficeWebAppsFarm -InternalUrl "https://dev-PBIRS100.<mycompany>.com" -ExternalUrl "https://dev-PBIRS100.<mycompany>.com" -CertificateName "OfficeWebApps Certificate"
New-OfficeWebAppsFarm -InternalURL "https://dev-PBIRS100" -AllowHttp
Thanks

After long back and forth of installing and reinstalling, finally was able to install successfully
- I am suspecting SharePoint Designer 2013 may be the culprit.
- Reinstalled Power BI server, followed the steps as per this link
- https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/reportserver-excel-oos/#prepare-server-to-run-offi...
- As I did on my dev sandbox, I did not do the https part (like certificate installing)
FYI , Now I have installed both PBIRS Power BI desktop (Aug 2017) version and the latest Oct 2017 release.
Thanks
