I had Office 2016 installed and I went to reinstall it because I was having some issues. Now when I try to install I get the following error

The Office Software Protection Platform service is generally started on demand when a user has started Office, however, there are license types which can start the service otherwise (such as those using a Key Management Server). As for stopping the service, there are several reasons we do not automatically shut down the service by default.

When I go to manually start the service I get
Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified
Which is strange because I can see the file path to
'C:Program FilesCommon FilesMicrosoft SharedOfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatformOSPPSVC.EXE'
existsI have tried changing the Log-On as for the service to be my account or Local System Account but it does not work.
I even tried to install Office 2013 and I get the exact same issue.
How can I install any version of Office if I cannot get past the installation?

It should give you the output similar to this:
After that, I was able to get both Office 2016 and 2013 installed.
