Did not work on Google Chrome 84 on Fedora 32. I used another user agent changer to be able to download the installer.

this is such garbage. had to install from the store because it wouldn't install from the webpage it resides on (https://www.codeweavers.com/bin/CodeWeaversUserAgent.php). once installed, i clicked the Microsoft Office 2016 installer on that same page. all it does is take me to the Office Home with no indication of where to go to get the installer. completely stuck now and can't install office 2016 to test this. well, i guess this answers my testing - it's garbage.
