For add-ins that support "Word 2016", exactly which versions are supported?


I've got a Word add-in on AppSource. Under "products supported", the AppSource page lists:

However, for some versions of Word 2016, people are not able to install it. Here are some examples:

Here is an example error message:

which isn't helpful since the store says it works in Word 2016!

How can I know which versions of Word are actually supported by my add-in?

Is it possible that the add-in can be installed on business non-subscription Word, but that it isn't being installed correctly?

=== UPDATE ===

In case it matters, these are the requirements in my manifest:

<Requirements>
   <Sets DefaultMinVersion="1.1">
      <Set Name="File" MinVersion="1.1"/>
      <Set Name="AddinCommands" MinVersion="1.1"/>
   </Sets>
</Requirements>

Solution

  • I'll present my best understanding based on the comments and answers here. I'll try to update this as I get better info.

    The Microsoft folks pointed me to this Microsoft page a few times, but I honestly don't understand what info that page provides about Word 2016. This appears to be the only relevant paragraph:

    The build number for Office 2016 installed via MSI is 16.0.4266.1001. This version only contains the WordApi 1.1 requirement set.

    My add-in does not work on installations of business Word 2016 with a more recent build number.
