[REQUEST] Office 2016 H&B Installer - MSI

[SAFCasper]

Anybody have a link to, or can share, the MSI version of 2016 Home & Business?

I swear I used to have one but all I can find now is the "Click-to-run" version which is incompatible with several required add-ins.

@SAFCasper 4.1 gig so I guess it is not click to run.

Suspect this is also click-to-run as I already have an ISO with the exact same name and size.

Will give it a try anyway and let you know the result. Cheers.

EDIT:
Yep, it's click-to-run

The only time office 2016 isn't click to run, is if it's volume.

Office 2019 is all click to run... there are no more "local" installs. Which makes this all get oddly murky when you realize that Office 2016 and 2019 are identical, the only changes are the support dates!

Yeah, I thought the same and have read it several times. However, the 4 other PC's in this office all have an MSI version of 2016 Home & Business on them.

If I remember correctly it came pre-installed/activated when we ordered the PC's from Dell. So maybe Dell have access to an MSI installer that isn't publicly available.

Sort of... it's the preinstall kit.

Have you tried looking for the MSI file on those PCs? For any software that has a 'repair' option (as Office often does) there should be an MSI file somewhere. Try looking in C:\Windows\Installer (turn on the 'Title' column in Windows Explorer to see which programs the MSI files belong to). Failing that, try searching the registry for installer/uninstaller information, which should contain the path to the relevant MSI file.

Good idea. I will have a look at one of those PC's to see what I can find.
