I don't think it quits the app for you, but the apps should not be open during update. Running a Before script that quits the apps if a user is logged in is probably a good idea, either forcefully or with user interaction.

betty02,
This scenario is one of the main reasons we perform cache policies, and then have a logout policy once a week to install all cached packages.

Hi All,

I've been using the package the VL license and just install the standalone updates method, using binaries from the macadmins site. Then recently I started seeing errors like this:

<Word icon> Compile error in hidden module: 'link'. This
error commonly occurs when code is
incompatible with the server, platform, or
architecture of this application.

So I've gone back to installing from our site license software installer and letting all the updates install themselves. I also saw a lot of problems with the Word 64-bit update hanging in the middle of the update. Since going back to the full installer all these issues went away.

@endor-moon By chance do you have Adobe Acrobat (XI or DC) installed on your Macs? That compile error is thrown due to a non-64-bit plugin. Latest version of Acrobat DC (15.020.20039) addresses this... has nothing to do with your Office 2016 deployment methodology/choice of package.
