I still can't make a decision on this. I just went to the local

that buying one of these will let me set my one computer up to do my
regular MS Office work on cloud nine or some such. That is, I won't
have a copy of the MS Office client software installed on my computer.
Did I misinterpret the information on the MS Office 2013 envelopes at
the store?
Here are the Office versions available.

Which box did you read ?
365 is subscription based, Office 2013 is not.
- Some 365 plans come with locally installed Office applications.
- All Office 2013 version install Office locally on your machine.

I guess I must have been reading the wrong box. I'll go back tomorrow
and have another look.
I would really like to find a box copy that would let me choose which
components it contains. I don't need anything other than Word, Excel
and Outlook, but all the available boxes include One Note, Access and
Publisher. I wish I could do a pick and choose, but I see no way to do
this. Gordon
I really messed things up, yesterday. I went to Staples and bought one
of the envelope things with MS Office Home & Business 3013 printed on
the face of it. Inside there was a small card with a Product Key on
it. I followed the directions inside this little envelope and tried to
do a download & install of MS. Office Home and Business 2013. When I
finished, no changes had been made on my computer other than some of
my existing programs had been modified a bit, yet were still the same
2010 version. For example, my Microsoft Outlook is now a (Trial)
version. Then I noticed that all the download and install had been
done on the Microsoft Sky Drive. I can access all the programs in this
Home Business setup and use them on Sky Drive, but I cannot get them
installed onto my own computer. What can I try, next? Gordon
Office 2013 doesn't install Office applications to SkyDrive.

When you install Office 2013 suites or programs, the Setup program uses
the Program Files\Microsoft Office folder as the default folder on a
32-bit version of Windows, or the Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office
folder as the default folder on a 64-bit version of Windows.The Office
Bin default folder in these versions of windows are Program
Files\Microsoft Office\Office15 and Program Files (x86)\Microsoft
Office\Office15 respectively. The Office Bin folder is the folder in
which the Office executable files are installed.
Outlook 2013 cannot coexist with any earlier version of Outlook. When
you install Outlook 2013, the Setup program removes any earlier versions
of Outlook that are installed.

If you saw the error ' Something went wrong'...then it usually indicates
a second installation of Office was started before the first install.
