Installing Office 2021

The Toolkit General Discussion
1

Hi Guys

I am very new to powershell so any help would be greatly appreciated. I am looking to uninstall Office 2019 then install Office 2021 using deployment toolkit. I am having issues where the officescrub requires a reboot to finish uninstall before it installs 2021 but if I restart the 2021 install does not happen. I tested the the script on a machine that does not have 2019 installed and 2021 installs successfully. Do you guys see anything worng in my script?

scrubbing is only required if there are environment issues.
