Unable to install Zotero plugin in Word (Office 365 Mac)
When I try to install the zotero 5.0 plugin in word I get this message:
Installation could not be completed because an error occurred.
[Exception... "Word does not appear to be installed on this computer. Please install Microsoft Word, then try again. @[install:install.m:153]" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: file:///Applications/Zotero.app/Contents/Resources/extensions/zoteroMacWordIntegration@zotero.org/components/zoteroMacWordIntegration.js :: checkStatus :: line 212" data: no]
Does anyone know how to solve this?
thanks Bert

Thanks for your help bwierink!
Thank you for your comments to fix Zotero problem in Word. I have wasted one day to solve this problem before. But, when I apply your commet, my problem is solved. Thanks a lot! You have saved my time (which I need most in these days for writing final papers).
I have been unable to find good info on the roadmap for Word 2016 in that respect.
@busydoc Incidentally, the most recent Insider Fast build: 180114 v16.10 was installed on my system today. Upon startup of Zotero (5.0.35-beta.1+e3dee4dee) I quite unexpectedly got the notification that the Word Plugin was installed successfully.
Everything seems to work fine... a nice surprise after so many broken versions of Word :)
Also, upon restart of Word I am now greeted by a warning (as the plugin at least loads in this build of Word):

Sorry for the false alarm!
Also, Zotero is experiencing all sorts of weird behaviour now in Word (not being able to edit; refresh adds a duplicate citation in a different font; etc.).

Knock on wood...
I am having the same problem, using Office 365 on Mac.
I just updated to the latest version - 16.11 (180311) but can not install the add in.
When trying I to install the add in in Zotero it shows this message:
Installation could not be completed because an error occurred.

Any idea what to do?
works fine now!
