LifeCycle ES4 & Word 2016 Error

LifeCycle Designer ES4 does not recognize MS Word 2016 on Windows 10

While launching LifeCycle Designer ES4 and try to start from a Word doc, below error message pop up:

"Word (version XP or onwards) could not be found on the machine"

Problem is in Registry.

LiveCycle searches only the following folders on Windows 10
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Word\InstallRoot
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word\InstallRoot
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\InstallRoot

Create following Path in Registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\InstallRoot
create new "string value" "Path" with value "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office16\"

Please remember to reboot PC for the changed registry to be effective.
