Workaround instructions for installing MS Office 64-bit using elevated command prompt:

 

Launch Command Prompt as Administrator

 

pushd \\colpotter\apps\install\microsoft office\2021\Visio 2021

 

setup.exe /configure configuration-Office2021EnterpriseVisioMC.xml

 

This will install the 64-bit version of MS Office as well as Visio. 

 

This installs without the license key, so those will need to be added manually:

 

MS Office

Open one of the MS Office programs (Word, Excel, etc.) >File > Account > Change Product Key > Paste in key

 

MS Visio

Open one of the MS Office programs (Word, Excel, etc.) >File > Account > Change Product Key > Paste in key

 

 

Afterwards, Visio can be manually uninstalled if not needed.
