Hi,
It was installed through my Office 365 subscription. I had clicked on the My Account button and when it took me to the My Account website I noticed the Office 2016 is available button and clicked that to install. I can tell you that the install seemed to hang. The first time it attempted to install it seemed to hang around 50-60 percent (when it said it had to close other apps that were running). I ended up having to reboot the laptop and re-start the install. Everything went smooth the second time - it was able to close all the other apps with no difficulties but did become hung at 90 percent. I left it running overnight and it was still sitting at 90 percent the next morning. However, despite that everything appears to be fully installed. Each of the programs opens with no errors (although I haven't done work in the programs other than Outlook). So far in Outlook, if I pin it to the taskbar, it creates a second icon when I start the program. This happens if I pin it from the Apps menu, or if I start the program and then pin it from the active icon. I didn't install it when it was a Preview, just when I saw that it was released to the public. Let me know if you need any other info.
