Trying to install MS Office 2016 on to brand new MacBook Air (2017) with High Sierra and getting the message above/below. I have tried downloading the package a couple of times. Can anyone suggest a solution, please?

Update on this: I contacted Microsoft and there is a known issue with this Office installation for Mac. The solution was to allow them access to install a previous version and then to update via the software update menu to the latest version. Not ideal but the issue is solved.
