Office 365 install of extra's Like Visio and Project

Since the Office 365 people have not answered my question properly I will try here.

In Office 365 E3 program, after I do my initial Office 365 install, the streaming of the rest of the program seems to take Hours. I let it run over night! This is OK and I do understand it is streaming in all the necessary features if I was to start Word or Outlook. It does give a big warning about going offline or rebooting which my install took more than the 8 hours I was at work.

My REALLY big problem is then if I was to assign Visio and Project to a user. It was my experience that when I clicked to install Visio, it looks like I am re-installing everything! Thus I am looking at another 12 hours where stuff is streaming to my computer. And then if I do Project there will be another Full install of everything. This means my computer is streaming and installing office and these products for 2 days!

Something must be wrong! I even did this at my home on my cable modem (hardwired), and got the same results. I have been suggested to turn off anti-virus, add sites  to Site Security, but neither of these options helped.

Is it true that when you click on the Visio Install or Project Install, it starts the entire process over again? It must be cause when I did Visio all my icons went away from my Task Bar.

I need to explain this to my users and have a plan for them to do this. It is not the simple MSI we are all very used to.

Thanks
