Office 2016 install is stuck on running package scripts with one minute left

I'm installing Office 2016 on the latest version OsX Sierra on a iMac (not certian of the release date). The installer then hangs up on the last process with one minute remaining. I've left the installer running for hours and even for a few days, with no progress. "stuck on running package scripts" is where it's stuck. There are no other application running, the HD is a TB with plenty of space left, a decent procecessor, and 8 GB of RAM.


Any suggestions?

iMac, iOS 10.3.1

I had this problem as well. What worked for me was that I opened activity monitor and located a process called "install" with a icon of hard drive in front of it and ended it. The installer then somehow prompted that install was successful.
