An error message shows in “Skype for Business Basic 2016” when I am trying to install MS Office, which includes Skype. How can I fix this?

The message shows due to an installation conflict between the preloaded version of Skype and the Skype version included in MS Office, which you're trying to install. Please follow these steps to fix the issue. Simply uninstall the pre-loaded version of Skype, then run MS Office installation and make sure Skype is included (it is by default).
