The problem solution for  MS Office 2016 Pro Plus x64 

Hi MaxPeen, 

If you need Proofing Tools only, please, download  SW DVD5 Proofing Tools 2016 64Bit MultiLang ComplKit MLF X20-42861.lSO 
https://technet.microsoft.com/EN-US/library/dd162397%28v=office.16%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396#DownloadLIPandProofTools

You have two options:

  1. download it from Microsoft with your Microsoft TechNet Account.
  2. Ask your System Administrator to download it for you from Microsoft with his Microsoft TechNet Account. I am sure It's absolutely legally also.

The problem solution for Office 365 x64

Hi MaxPeen, 

It is nothing because the last time you tried to install Proofing Tools x86 ( setuplanguagepack.x86.nl-nl_.exe ) for your Office 365 x64 with this link 

https://c2rsetup.officeapps.live.com/c2r/download.aspx?ProductreleaseID=languagepack&language=nl-nl&platform=x86&source=O16LAP&version=O16GA 

You couldn't download Office 365 Proofing Tools x64 because it is not available from https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Language-Accessory-Pack-for-Office-2016-82ee1236-0f9a-45ee-9c72-05b026ee809f  

It is not true: 

The language accessory pack files that are available for download in the table below, can be installed on either 32-bit or 64-bit versions of Office 2016 

I don't understand why, but Proofing Tools x64 is not available  from the web (Front End)

So, I edited the above link:

https://c2rsetup.officeapps.live.com/c2r/download.aspx?ProductreleaseID=languagepack&language=nl-nl&platform=x64&source=O16LAP&version=O16GA  
and you have downloaded and successfully  installed  Dutch Proofing Tools x64 setuplanguagepack.x64.nl-nl_.exe ) directly from the Back End.  

Enjoy and good luck.

Hello Igor,

Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for posting your query.

Based on your issue description it seems that you have installed MSI version of Office 2016. The proofing language tool you are trying to download is Click-to-run which will not install along with MSI software.

I suggest you to refer to the suggestion mentioned by Mike Maxey in the following link on similar issue and check if it helps.

Hope this helps. Please post back with updated issue details for further assistance.

Thank you.
