OK, I republished all the packages I published yesterday (including office-addin-manifest) without making any changes, but the versions will be bumped up one. Yo office is now working for me locally on three different machines.

Can you all please try the following:

npm uninstall -g yo generator-office
npm install -g yo generator-office
run “yo office” again

I hope this fixes things for you.

Thanks,

Courtney

Awesome, glad to hear it! As far as I can tell, there just must have been some publishing hiccup to NPM yesterday that didn’t return any sort of error. I merely republished and this time it appears to have worked as expected
