This short article shows you one possible way to resolve the error “Error 2711. An internal error has occurred. (ExcelAddInPowerMapFiles)” when you are installing Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013.
When I was installing Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013, the installation gave me the error screen below with the error message “Error 2711. An internal error has occurred. (ExcelAddInPowerMapFiles)”.
I proceed to Uninstall or change a program in Control Panel. I realized there are 2 program related to Office 2013.
1. Lync add-in.
2. SharePoint Designer 2013.
I uninstalled the SharePoint Designer 2013 then uninstalled Lync add-in.
I then re-installed again Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013. I did not get the error anymore. So the error is not really what it means because there is nothing to do with Excel.
