Just had the same issue! The admin center has changed yet again so it can now be found in Admin Console under Home->Services & add-ins->Office software download settings, turn on Skype for Business (Standalone) options.

To download the .exe for distributinon, switch your console from the admin account to your own MS account (click avatar in upper right, select My Account) then click Settings->Software (install software)->click Skype for Business and choose Version and click Install to download the .exe.
