SalesForce Pilot plugin for excel Office 2016 Support

Hello, 

Our company is moving to Microsoft Office 2016 from Office 2013. We use the Salesforce Reports for Excel (Pilot) for some vital reporting to our customers. I do realize this is a designated as a pilot product, but are there plans to enable the plugin using Office 2016? 

My experience at this point is that the when I try to install the application it gives me an error that Salesforce Reports for Excel requires Excel 2007, Excel 2010, or Excel 2013. I have attached a portion of the log results listed below. Any information on this would be very helpful. 

Thank You
Erik
