PENDING Office 2016 UAC pops up during task sequence

I am trying to deploy Office 2016 using task sequence during OSD. I followed the very well written guide from this site but the TS fails while installing Office. I can install Office through the Software Center without a problem.

I check the AppEnforce log and found it was timing out while "Waiting for process 1516 to finish", and then it timesout and fails to install the app.

After doing some digging I found a post about going into C:\Windows \ccmcache\%relevantfolder% and run the install from there. According to the article, this is where the TS is downloading and running the install program from. When I double click on the setup.exe file a UAC window pops up. This is what I think is causing the TS to fail when installing Office. Link to article referenced above:
https://social.technet.microsoft.co...rocess-3236-to-finish?forum=configmanagerapps

I have four other apps that install before Office that have no issues. I tried with Office as the only app installed during the TS, other than the OS and CMC.

Any ideas how to turn UAC off or setting Office to not ask to escalate privileges?
 
So, I tried to disable UAC by running the command in the task sequence. It worked one time, installed Office 2016 during the task sequence, but it hasn't worked sense. It fails and I go into the folder with the setup.exe in it and double click the exe and the UAC pops up. I go look at the UAC settings and it is set to "Nerver notify me when..."

My only recourse is to require the installation after the task sequence has run or have the users install it through System Center.

I want this to work during the task sequence.
