Greetings and salutations:

OS:
Windows 11 64-bit 24H2 b:26100.3037 Enterprise LTSC-IoT (registered to the company I work for).

Microsoft Office:
MSOffice Pro+ 16.0.17932.20130 LTSC 2024 + VisioPro/ProjectPro/Skype for Business AiO (Registered to the company I work for).

Installing MSOffice Pro+ 16.0.17932.20130 LTSC 2024 + VisioPro/ProjectPro/Skype for Business AiO went like a dream:
Insert the stick my System Admin gave me, and it did all by itself, in no time, no issues at all.

Until ... the day after, I fired up Skype for Business for a business meeting with the company ... but it did not start at all:
"The program this shortcut is linked to, does not exist"???
Checking the location of Skype for Business ... indeed, the entire Skype directory was a goner.

I wanted to reinstall Business for Skype after Windows deleted it.
Trying to reinstall the skype, it resulted into:
"We're sorry, Microsoft Office installer encountered a problem because you have these Click-to-Run installer based Office programs installed on your computer."

Now, noteworthy:
I never installed ANY "Click to Run" installers, it was a registered ISO from my company with a preinstalled Command Line Executor.
So, wherever Windows got the idea, it was a "Click to Run" installer, is beyond me.

Is there a CMD command line, Powershell command line or mayhaps a reg key alteration that will remove this limitation?

Reason:
The installer is from my company, and I have not have the faintest idea, why Windows decided to simply remove the darned Skype.

Contacting Microsoft, their answer was:
"Uninstall MSOffice."
WOT?????
"I need the darn thing!!!, that's not a solution." I said.
They just hung up ... .

System Admin had the same result from Microsoft!
How about that???

So, I need my Skype, can someone please help me out here?

Thank you in advance:
Xog.
 
Assisting with bypassing installation limits would be a violation of Forum rules.

No way to know the full situation and circumstances with respect to the posted problems.

However, if Skype etc. is registered to your company and was provided by your System Admin then that is the person who should be addressing the problems.

Closing thread to further posts.
