[DISCUSSION] Microsoft Office 2019

Office 2019 = retail = x86/x64. When using the setup.exe of the root of the iso it always will install x86, should be good enough, x64 is only needed in specific conditions.

 

Simply change x86 to x64 in the link

 

hi I am trying to activate the 2019 pro plus and needed help. So I was able to download install and then convert successfully to volume license by using the instructions but then when I run the kms activator it says activation failed so can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong.

Thanks

 

This has been explained lots of times already. Trouble arrises when you use an insider preview of windows.
Go to C:\Windows\System32\spp\store_test\2.0 and rename the file tokens.dat to tokens.dat.old
Run any office app, e.g. Word. It will say it must recover, so recover ok. Exit program...
Now reconvert to volume license and activate.

Actually i guess img/iso is preferred by many users because they don't always have much bandwidth to download latest installation files and have to do office install many times, besides img/iso can be verified, also updates are in small size so its better considered to install office from img and install small size updates later online.

anyway i'm amazed to see that it can install office directly as vl in windows 7 and later, without the need of odt (actually odt can't install office as vl from a img file) and configuration file, and still nobody is talking about this.
this method of installation (OfficeClickToRun.exe) is really better than odt, thank you for making this...

 

are you sure?

 

Yeah,
I tested too many configuration with odt and also tried otp but i can't install office as vl from a retail img/iso
although it worked when online office file download was used, but can't get it to work with retail img.
would like to see a working config file if anybody is sure it can be done.

 

1. Download files for installation = Download files for upgrade. Not true: "install small size updates later online".
2. ODT can install office as vl from files on img

 

Could you please post a working config to install office as vl from img.
i've tried many and can install other channels and products but not the vl.

 

Example 1:
C:\iso\Office
C:\iso\setup.exe
C:\iso\install.cmd
C:\iso\config.xml

C:\iso\Office is folder from Office 2019 img. Setup.exe is ODT.
install.cmd is:

Code:

setup /configure config.xml
pause

config.xml is:

Code:

<Configuration>
  <Add OfficeClientEdition="64">
    <Product ID="ProPlus2019Volume">
      <Language ID="cs-cz"/>
      <ExcludeApp ID="Access" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="Publisher" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="Groove" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="Lync" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="OneNote" />
    </Product>
  </Add>
</Configuration>

... and not problem, installed ProPlus2019Volume.

Example 2:
d:
c:\Users\admin\Desktop\config.xml
c:\Users\admin\Desktop\setup.exe
c:\Users\admin\Desktop\install.cmd

d: is mounted Office 2019 img. Setup.exe is ODT.
install.cmd is:

Code:

setup /configure config.xml
pause

config.xml is:

Code:

<Configuration>
  <Add SourcePath="d:" OfficeClientEdition="64">
    <Product ID="ProPlus2019Volume">
      <Language ID="cs-cz"/>
      <ExcludeApp ID="Access" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="Publisher" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="Groove" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="Lync" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="OneNote" />
    </Product>
  </Add>
</Configuration>

... and not problem, installed ProPlus2019Volume.

 

Wow thanks both worked...
Actually i missed the detail that i had to replace setup.exe with ODT.
since non vl sku's was installing without problem, that's why it didn't ring the bell that i'd to replace it. i was trying with untouched mounted img
OTP was also facing same error and that lead me to believe odt can't install vl. anyway thanks for solving this.

Apparently looks like Office tool plus needs to be fixed to not include channel and version in order to install vl.
