Excel 2016 error could not load some objects because they are not available on this machine?

i have excel 2016 and when i open some files that are built using older excel that have Forms in their VBA project. i get the following error "could not load some objects becuase they are not available on this machine.""

i cannot figure out what is the issue. i go to excel vba reference, i do not see any item missing.

Try the below steps and check if it helps fix the issue;
Click on start->control panel->programs and features->right click on the Office 2016 program->click on change->add or remove features-> click on the drop down arrow which is before the Microsoft Office->click on Run all from my computer->Continue.
Once completed restart the computer and then Open Excel to check if the issue occurs.
Also check if there are any files in the startup folder .If you find any files take a back and delete them. Go to the below location to delete the files: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\XLSTART
C:\Users\<User Name>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART

Is it possible to post a sample of one of the files that displays the error here so that we can look at it?
