SOLVED M365 , Visio 2019 and Project 2019

[DaveEdwards]

Hello Everyone.
So we have just deployed M365 as a pilot before deploying out to the rest of the organization.
We ran this in a task sequence to use the OFFScrub.vbs to remove all the previous version of office 32 bit and then install M365 64 bit version.
This is all working some issues but they have been resolved.

Now the problem is when we push out Visio 2019 or Project 2019 both 64 bit version to the clients Endpoint indicates that the software has been installed on the client.
We looked in the software center on the client and it also show it has been installed.

This is the Visio 2019 and Project 2019 downloaded with the M365 wizard on Endpoint Configuration Manager with the VL keys added in the wizard.

Problem: The software is not installed and is not list or displayed in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16 folder where is should be on a successful install.

The work around at this time is connect to the system and go to the cache folder and run the setup.exe /configure configuration.xml to install these.

Has anyone had this problem as well or know how to resolve this issue.

Thanks
Dave

I have had this problem. If you have office 365 installed and when you attempt to deploy Visio, it shows it's installed in software center.
As a workaround, you can try this. Create a separate pacakge for O365, O365+Visio, O365+Project, O365+Visio+Project. With that you can deploy the correct package to users.

And suppose if an O365 installed user requests for Visio, you can create a package to uninstall the existing apps and install O365+visio - https://www.prajwaldesai.com/how-to-uninstall-office-365-using-configmgr-sccm/

Hello and thank you for this but i have found the solution to this. I happens the package is created the detection method for visio and project are the same as O365 so that is why it thinks its installed. MY solution to fix this was to change this to something different and i used the registry key and made it the detection method
So this is now working.

Thanks for your assistance
