Feb 2015 Update: OneDrive for Business Error "Incompatible Office products are installed on your machine."

After Installing the Feb 2015 Updates for Office 2013 ProPlus via ClicktoRun, OneDrive no longer opens with the error message:

"Sorry, we cant perform this action. Incompatible Office products are installed on your machine. If you have an administrator, please contact them for help. "

I have other office products on here including:

SharePoint Designer 2010

SharePoint Designer 2013

Microsoft PowerBI Designer Preview

and this is installed on Win 8.1 Enterprise

Kind of stumped what is causing this... I see KB2920798  mentions this error message is now added when cant open a document due to a mix of click-to-run and MSI install for office.  I only have click to run for Office 2013 and the MSIs are only for addons in excel (power query) and the additional Microsoft Software...

Anyone have ideas what is causing this and how to resolve?
