Joe Marino (ID: 00000097bffb4b61) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 03/31/2019 this is such garbage. had to install from the store because it wouldn't install from the webpage it resides on (https://www.codeweavers.com/bin/CodeWeaversUserAgent.php). once installed, i clicked the Microsoft Office 2016 installer on that same page. all it does is take me to the Office Home with no indication of where to go to get the installer. completely stuck now and can't install office 2016 to test this. well, i guess this answers my testing - it's garbage.
