Install Microsoft Volume Licence application with Office 365
-
OK. I've installed Access 2010 and that works fine.
-
I've had 2016 Pro Plus and 2016 Business Premium (0365) on the same system before with no issues.

That's probably because they're both Click-to-run. It's trying to install Click-to-run and Windows-installer versions of the same suite that seems to be the issue.
We have got 2013 versions of Office 365 and standalone Access 2013 installed, so this seems to be a 2016 issue.

Pro Plus was not a Click to Run... it was Volume. Business Premium was.

we ran into the same issue. Install both with the MSI files and everything will work the way it should .

He wasn't able to location MSI files for non-Access, though.

Where can you get an MSI for Office 365?
-
Office 2013 installs fine. so I'll stick with that for the time being. Annoying though as I was looking forward to trying out Access 2016.
-
Can you do Office 2013 and Access 2016?
-
Dunno, but I'm loving the new black theme in Office 2016, so I'm never going back to 2013.

Slightly different issue but looks like microsoft is willing to help out with these type of issues:
-
Interesting - I didn't know there was an Office 365 version of Office that didn't include Access.

I don't think my personal office 365 business premium has it
Edit: checked it does not.

You need the Office 2016 Deployment tool to get a .msi:

You set up a folder on your server, configure the .xlm file, run the command line to download the install, and then run it again with a different switch to install Office on the client. -

What do you know - I just checked mine, you're right.

Actually I just looked at my install folder, and you don't get a .msi from that. But you can install office without having to go through the portal. Will it fix your click to run install thing? I'm not sure. I just used that tool when I didn't want to log in to the portal manually on every machine I wanted to put office on. I was searching for a .msi and never found it.
-
There isnt a MSI with any office 365 installations, all click-to-run. The deployment tool just sets up a local repository for click-to-run files and you make a script that accesses them.
-
So it's impossible to install current, open licence standalone versions of standard Microsoft products if you are an Office 365 Business Premium customer? If you want Access you have to upgrade to the E3 plan at double the cost, or install an older version.That's nuts.
Is the retail versions of Office products click and run, that would be a possible alternative (but still a massive pita)?

Maybe not "can't" but let's call it "very technically encouraged."

I don't know if you can buy a retail version that it's just a code any more. That started a long time ago with Office 2010. My client bought key-code cards. All they received was a code, then you download click-to-run.
