[DISCUSSION] Microsoft Office 2019

I have purchased Office Pro Plus 2019 through my companies HUP. For the life of me I can't figure out how to get it to install by excluding components.

I downloaded the setup from the HUP site and when I type setup /? I get:

I have a config.xml of:

The setup.exe and the .xml are in the same folder and when I run setup /configure config.xml from a CMD window with Admin privileges it displays the help text and pauses. At that point have to hit the enter key to get back to the prompt.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have seen where they are downloading the office then installing by doing:

setup /download config.xml
setup /configure config.xml

That is also not working

online install

setup /configure config.xml

Code:

<Configuration>
<Add OfficeClientEdition="64" Channel="Current">
<Product ID="ProPlus2019Retail">
<Language ID="en-us" />

<ExcludeApp ID="Access" />
<ExcludeApp ID="InfoPath" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Lync" />
<ExcludeApp ID="OneNote" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Project" />
<ExcludeApp ID="SharePointDesigner" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Visio" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Groove" />

</Product>
</Add>
<Display Level="Full" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
</Configuration>

Code:

SourcePath="d:\" 

only when you install offline

 

Ok, I found my problem. I was trying to download for offline install and I had an existing version installed. Once I removed my existing version of office the install completed using the config.xml below. However I now have a problem with the ExcludeApp ID=.

Access and Skype for Business keeps installing and they are excluded in my config.xml file. I have edited my config.xml below to include my PID thinking it needed to verify my key in order to exclude those two. It is excluding everything else I have selected.

Is there something I'm doing wrong?

 

InfoPath and SharePointDesigner don't exist in 2019, so no need to exclude them.
Visio and Project wouldn't install as part of the suite anyway (except for the Mondo 2016 product ID), you would need a separate Product ID= section to install each.

Perhaps one of these is what's confusing it.

 

It looks like One Note is also not in Office 2019. I'll try again later today and let you know.

I'm wondering if Microsoft has disabled removing those from Plus? Basically I am trying to get the same apps installed as
Home and Business. Our companies HUP is only Pro Plus. I have no use for Skype for business, Access, or any of the other shared tools.

My new config is:

OK, so the ODT listed above did the trick.

It appears the setup for the HUP is limited to only installing the complete package.

There is another issue. How do I get rid of the Microsoft tools?

I'm seeing this inside Office too, but why does this update not get installed through Windows Update?

 

Office 2019 doesn't get updates through Windows Update. Try check from Office.

 

Is there a way to change the install location from the (default C) to another location?

I have tried the directory symbolic linking (mklink /J "Original install location" "New location") of the default install location to a new location, but unfortunately all Office apps fail to start this way

Would be grateful if someone could point me in the right way.

Thanks.

 

No, there is no supported or official way
