        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.

                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:
                        https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49117
                        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.

                            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.

                                      Logged a call with Microsoft and they confirmed my worst fears - Open Licence version of Microsoft standalone products cannot be used with O365. It sucks.

                                      Basically, if you are a Business Premium customer you cannot use Access, end of. Only E3 or ProPlus customers can use it.

                                      (although I suspect the retail version will run, as that is click-to-run as Dash indicates).

                                        Wow, I wonder if that violates an EU anti-trust law or similar... selling software that is designed to not work on the same machine to force either double buying the application or double buying the OS. Either way, that sounds like anti-trust to me. It might be okay because it is "all one application", that might cause an exception. But I doubt it. That's extremely fishy to have two sales channels designed to conflict and block each other.

                                            No, I just point out that they make it sound like they are doing it on purpose. Don't blame the messenger.
