Office 2016 PROPLUS failed installation

Tried to install Office 2016 PROPLUS on windows 10 pro with Office 2013 PROPLUS installed.  Tried to install as an upgrade to 2013 and also as a separate install leaving 2013 installed as well.  Both have failed.  Gives me a 1603 error.  The error seems to be indicated at time 13:07:12:109 in the log file (see log file snippet below).  I'll be glad to forward the entire log file if need be.

However, I'm not smart enough to figure out exactly what the problem is.  Anyone out there that can look at the log file and give me an indication of what the problem is with the install.

FYI.  The install is doing this on two computers, however, it installed correctly on one computer with the same windows 10 pro and Office 2013 PROPLUS

installed and the computers are the same Dell desktop with same antivirus, etc.

Try to find and delete this folder: MIcrosoft\Office
in your Task Scheduler. Then try the installation again.

Thanks for your quick reply.
I didn't want the initial post to be so long (with the snippet,etc.) so I left out a few things that I have already done to try and solve the problem.
This is a bit complicated but bear with me.
I did delete the Microsoft\Office folder in Task Scheduler.  That did not help.  After deleting the folder I then tried to run the following command:
"schtasks.exe" /create /f /tn "Microsoft\Office\Office 15 Subscription Heartbeat" /ru SYSTEM /xml "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE16\HeartbeatConfig.xml"
That failed (see attached screen shots).
I also tried to add the task via the GUI and it failed as well (see attached screen shots).
I hope the screen shots help.  I tried as many different things as possible with still the same failed installation of Office 2016.

Is any of this maybe tied to the registry somehow so that the registry thinks the heartbeatconfig.xml file is actually somewhere else than the standard location?

Any help you could provide to sort this all out would be very much appreciated

OK.  I'll give it a try.  The computer is at a client location and I'll probably be there next week.  Office 2013 is still installed and running just fine, so there is no real urgency...
