Uninstall Office 2013 then install Office 365
Hello, I am having issues uninstalling Office 2013 to install Office 365. I created an xml using the "Office Customization Tool" and it does work if there is no Office installed on the machine. I get the below error in the logs when I run the batch file to kick off the install with Office 2013 installed. Below is also the xml I am using.
Thanks in advance for the help on this!

Before installing any version of Office, always run Option 2 from https://support.office.com
@Daniel: That would be okay if I were just doing this on 1 or 2 machines, but I need to do this on about 800 machines. That is why I am looking to script it.
Good luck. I've always had to do this manually. It's a real pain!
