Office 2021 LTSC SPLA Professional Plus install failure

After creating the config.xml script below and running setup /download config.xml and setup /configure config.xml the program exits without errors, but has not installed the programs on the machine. It appears that the machine is set up for Office 365 as I can open Excel, but can't edit the Excel file locally. Outlook is not on the machine.

I've been through several installs/uninstalls trying different things. The non-SPLA install will install the applications, but they can't be activated with the SPLA MAK.
