Hi, I am getting an update error installing Microsoft Excel 16.97 on Mac OS Sequoia. I am currently on 16.96. The install stops near the end of the progress bar for a long time and then I get an update error.

I've had similar issues before and resolved by installing from the pkg file but I can't find the 16.97 install file.

Is it possible to download a pkg file?

    16.97 seems to be part of the normal updates. I managed to find a pkg download file. Install was fine with that approach. Same issue still occurring on 16.98.
