    According to LostED's above post ''After extracting the retail .exe of Visio or Project there will be a folder called ''prjpror.ww'' . But there are no folders at all, actually many files inside the .exe. I can see such folders in Office 2013 retail ISO but not in Visio and Project .exe .:confused: So how can i convert Visio and Project to Volume . I tried replacing files but i got an error when the installer starts. :rolleyes:

    You can't extract with an archivemanager. blabla.exe /extract:path is the way to do it.

    I understand that the package cannot be re-posted in this forum, yet there may be some way to get it.
    I'm new here, not allowed to send any Private Message, I can receive though; would highly appreciate a note from Stannieman (or others) how to obtain this brilliant piece ow work.
    Thanks a lot.

    I did everything as instructed, yet when tried to install got an error message:

    The specified module could not be found.

    What does it mean, what to do?
    Thanks.

    That problem occurred with the ISO version. Then I found the exe variant and apparently succeeded with the conversion. When however I tried to activate, it failed, the activators said it is grace edition. What then?
    Thanks.

    Finally I found a solution:
    Download and install Office 13 EN TheWiz and after all install on it Polish Office Retail. Finally we have got Polish Office VL with 180 days.

    TO Bisounours11;

    Here's the link to Retal to VL files;

    You still need KMS micro server v4.0 and Activation Helper v1.5 x86(or x64 according to your selection) .exe.
    Note that "T" command is important after launching KMS micro server then use Activation Helper v1.5 to activate office.

    Hi all.
    Thanks for your work. I really appreciate it.

    However, after converting by hand, I cannot install Office 2013.
    The installer cannot find ose.exe, and sometimes osetup.dll.

    Those files are where they should be and has been used succesfully to install Retail (on another system).
    The system is clean without any traces from any other Office version.

    I'm using x86 from da_office_professional_plus_2013_x86_x64_dvd_1341xxx.

    Please give me a little hint about how I can help myself from here.


    Thanks!

    Cillo, I just downloaded the offical english volume .iso, then I copied over setup.dll, setup.exe, ose.exe and osetup.dll to the language ISO,
    just remember to place them in the correct folders and your installation of office 2013 vl will finish.
