We are having issues on our Windows 10 1909 and Windows 10 2004 builds Enterprise versions when installing Office 2019 Pro Perpetual Vol Licensing client , every time it gives error during the pre-requisite check step as per the logs that it detected that installed version of OS is Windows 10 S Mode and it wont install office . I trying to search a few other threads and found that its not just happening with us . Below are the two reference links which have posted about exactly same issue .
Any ideas anyone ?

<< How did you install Office 2019 Pro Perpetual Vol Licensing client?
Please check if your Windows 10 is in S Mode.
Start > Settings > System > About，then scroll down to check Edition in "Windows specifications". If you see "S Mode" on the right side of the version entry, it means you are using a S-Mode PC.
If yes, since Windows 10 S-mode allows only apps from the Microsoft Store and requires Microsoft Edge for safe browsing, please check if you installed as described.
More information, you could refer to the following:
Windows 10 in S mode FAQ.

Hi Erin ,
Thanks for the response !!
But We are only using Windows 10 Enterprise in our environment , we dont have S-Mode on any of our workstation.
We have similar issue as stated by user Md5Hash in the links i shared in my inittial question . We tried downloading and installing fresh installer , but then also the issue remains same .
According to my test, I couldn’t reproduce this issue.
Your issue may be related to your environment, such as the Windows system.
If possible, it would be best to open a paid ticket with Microsoft Support to help review your problem and help you test remotely.
Thanks for your understanding.

@Siddharth Sharma I just tested the newest copy of the ODT (March 23, 2021) and confirmed that, at LAST, after TWO YEARS of waiting, this issue is now fixed for me. I can run that version's setup.exe /download file.xml, get the bits I need, then run setup.exe /configure file.xml and it installs. VLPerpetual working fine on my test machines now.
