You will need to install the click-to-run version of Project, not the installer (.msi) version.

I think it's part of Office 365 but don't quote me on that. Meanwhile, does this page relate to your problem? If so it might help:

Does this machine a trial version of Office 365 installed?
If so uninstall it and then try installing from your source.

Where did you get this copy of MS Project?

What versions of Windows is on the system that you are trying to install Project on?

So you do NOT own this copy of Project.
Do you have the key code to go along with the copy and where di you get it?

my friend has the key, he gave the installation files to try on my systems, because he was not able to install it
it's not going to the step where it asks for the key! it gets this issue from the first step. do you believe it related to the key? we didn't even get the window which asks for the key!

You cannot install the msi installer version of Project 2016 on a computer that has the click-to-run version of Office 2016. That's why you don't get to the step where you enter the license key.

Either install the MSI (installer) version of both Office and Project, or the click-to-run version of both Office and Project.

You can combine click-to-run Office 2016 with the MSI version of Project 2013 (or 2010), or vice versa.

so let me rephrase my question: what you mean by install the msi version and when you get a media how you identify its msi or click to run version?

If the extension of the installation file is msi, it is the MSI version.
