I am working with creating several configurations for Microsoft Office 365. During my testing, I began to receive failures. The splash screen would show, then it would disappear. The logs would show the following:
MsoGetRemoteHostNetworkStatusWithUrlType failed {"RemoteHost": "https://nexus.officeapps.live.com"}
The error message was not helpful at all.
What I was able to identify as the root case was a typo in my configuration file:
<Property Name="PinIconsToTaskBar " Value="FALSE" />
Note the additional space after “PinIconsToTaskBar”.
Correcting the type allowed the installer to function. Sadly, the property did not work as designed and the Icons were still pinned to the task bar.
