Description

I am having the same problems.
Here is the check results:

Here is the installer results:

Reg is working and I can rdp fine with remmina and novnc. Check is also working as you can see. I will be happy to try anything you tell me to make it work. office 365 is already activated and installed and I have a full win11 install from your yaml

running the "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\WINWORD.EXE" manually works but I have the top bar cut(minimize close etc)

Edit: Another bug I have is the window is freaking out when maximized or I try to resize it but I count that as an nvidia wayland weirdness with KDE

EDIT2: Removing the quotes on sudo and forcing the user flag returns this error for line 50:

Research direction

Start with the main install script, especially line 50, and compare its invocation with the reported manual WINWORD.EXE path. Reproduce the installer failure using the provided check and installer results; done means the install script launches the Office executable successfully without the reported window issues.
