Microsoft Office and Kace Managed Installation Issues
I cannot figure out why our installation of Microsoft Office 2016 keeps failing. This is not the click-to-run version, but the tradition volume license (we do not use Office 365).

That did not work. I now get a message that says
"Downloading and Installing Office", but it is not downloading or installing the file. - taylora 6 years ago-
I suggest checking %programdata%\Dell\KACE\user\KAgent.log for errors. The file should get downloaded to %programdata%\Dell\KACE\download\'SW_ID' - if that one is present i would check if the zipped file includes a toplevel folder.... - torstenspitz 6 years ago

It had a top level folder. Re-created the zip and it is working fine. Thanks! - taylora 6 years ago
