It's a known issue, and everybody and their mother has placed complaints/requests to fix or replace the damn images. But, by ways of miracles I simply am too lowly to understand, they pulled it off in a system image. Microsoft encourages you to use 32-bit Office on all 32-bit and 64-bit computers because there are extremely rare cases where you will actually need a 64-bit version of Office. Create the necessary shared directory to serve the C2R/Skype for Business deployment: servershare (make sure the Deploy user has full share-level and NTFS permissions for the shared directory). Normally if you had Office 64-bit installed, and then tried to install Project 32-bit, it'll complain and kill the installation before it can begin. Download the Office 2016 Deployment Tool (for C2R deployments) from Microsoft’s site. It's a known issue, and frankly I don't know how to fix it. Honestly, they deserve a prize for pulling that off in the first place. The desktop folks who created the system image that we flash to everything somehow pulled it off.

Every time I've accidentally tried to install one of the standalone Office programs of the wrong bitness, it refuses and says to install the bitness matching what's already installed.
