Office Online Server Preview - Can't Install on SharePoint Server

Hi All,

I have SharePoint 2016 Preview running on single server farm. After installing/verifying the prerequisites, I tried to install Office Online Server Preview and got stopped with setup error "Microsoft Office Online Server 2016 can't be installed on the same machine as a Microsoft SharePoint Server product". Not sure what to do at this point. Do I really need a separate box for this?

Thanks,

Hi Erik, just like with Office Web Application Server 2013 you need a separate box to install the new version on.

Thanks. I never installed Office Web App Server before. I had previously provisioned Excel Services on SharePoint 2010 app servers. It appears that 2016 will require at least one additional server in the farm to get Excel Services.
