I just installed Standard and never converted to VL. I believe Pro and ProPlus requires conversion to VL?
Finally bumped into a strange issue. I've installed Office 2019 using the old ODT method and xml, using PerpetualVL channel. As I work with multiple languages, I wanted to install a language pack afterwards, but it didn't work. Then I tried to install proofing tools for another language and that didn't work either. In both cases, the message is: "The selected product cannot be installed on the selected update channel" or something similar. This issue effectively prevents me from installing any feature that is language-related. MS says that the only valid option is reinstalling with a modified .xml for several languages. Thing is, I've already set up my Outlook and it was a pain, I'd have to repeat it when reinstalling Office. Bummer. Now I understand what Ratlefatz said a few post ago by installing retail+conversion vs. perpetualVL. Cheers.
hello, any experience installing office 2019 on Windows10 1809 LTSC conversion Retail to VL seems less straightforward
Thank you Abbodi, your help is very much appreciated! I'll explain how it worked out and what I did, keeping in mind the recommendations made by @ratzlefatz. First, downloaded the latest ODT. Then, deleted the old distribution folder (PerpetualVL) to start with a clean slate. Downloaded first the x64 ProPlusRetail+ProjectProRetail+VisioProPlusRetail and set a -second- language item in the .xml When it finished, downloaded the x86 versions in the same folder. Everything went OK and the size came out as 3.97GB (both x64 and x64 together). That was substantially smaller than the VL distribution folder I had used before. Second phase, to really test the offline install, I disconnected the internet. Install was fast without issues. When finished, used the C2R-R2V from Abbodi, only commenting out the "pause" at the end to make it unattended. Finished in a blink and without error. Checked Office, was KMS activated so conversion was done successfuly. The second language specified in the .xml was available from options-language. Then tried to install yet another language pack, the Dutch one. I had previously downloaded it, but it turned out to be a 7MB file that needed internet connectivity. I assumed it was a web-installer and connected to the internet. This time, the language pack installed without a problem and was available from options-languages So it appears that it is better to install retail and convert later, to have the possibility to install language packs afterwards and to have monthly updates without having to set the update policy. Now to setup Outlook again, what a pain. Oh well, learned something new today. Cheers. Edit: My outlook profile and messages were all left intact. When launching Outlook it brought me back to the accounts that I had previously configured. I also want to note that you may install additional language packs after conversion to VL, in other words, the conversion to VL does not interfere with the ability to install language packs.
I did, too, as ODT 16.0.11107.33602 supposedly "resolves an issue which may have prevented installation of Proofing Tools or Language Packs". I was trying to offline integrate proofing tools into 16.0.10730.20102_en-US ProPlus2019Retail, so manually downloaded proper proof.dat and proof.dat.cobra x32 and x64 packages and put them alongside us...dat. My configuration.xml: Code: <Configuration> <Add OfficeClientEdition="32" Channel="PerpetualVL2019"> <Product ID="ProPlus2019Volume" PIDKEY="...-6MWKP"> <Language ID="en-us" /> <ExcludeApp ID="Groove" /> <ExcludeApp ID="Lync" /> <ExcludeApp ID="OneDrive" /> </Product> <Product ID="ProofingTools"> <Language ID="sv-se" /> <ExcludeApp ID="OneDrive" /> </Product> </Add> <Property Name="PinIconsToTaskbar" Value="FALSE" /> <Property Name="SCLCacheOverride" Value="0" /> <Updates Enabled="TRUE" /> <RemoveMSI All="TRUE" /> <Display Level="Full" AcceptEULA="TRUE" /> <Logging Level="Off" /> </Configuration> Installation failed giving a weird "A system restart is required" error (forgot to write down the number, but googled it and didn't find anything specific). No restart was actually pending: rebooted a few times to no avail. In fact, by double-clicking Setup32.exe installation completed, but of course with no configuration at all. On another machine (fresh LTSC) always got the same error after replacing ODT setup with 16.0.10810.33603 and editing configuration with several combinations of Channel and ProductID. Eventually decided to remove proofing tools lines, and installation started as expected. Now official 2019 proofing tool refuses to install, maybe because it doesn't like Perpetual Channel. Yet, as a workaround, I successfully installed 2016 VL proofing tool (16.0.4266.1001). So yes, the way to go should be installing retail, language packs and tools and then convert.
Proofing require two files only for each architecture sp321033.cab stream.x86.en-us.proof.dat sp641033.cab stream.x64.en-us.proof.dat it would help to share *.log files from %temp% and C:\Windows\Temp to see the error details
Is the simplified ribbon only for Office 365 and Office online, not Office 2019? Also I noticed that Outlook 2019 shows as 2016 in Control Panel. Do I have a broken copy?
I am aware this thread is for Office 2019 only. Just want to post for input from others with regard to O365. Is it possible to install O365 and activate without valid monthly subscription. I have installed O365 on 2 workstations (Win 7 and Win 8). Unfortunately when, I open Word it ask to complete the activation using valid corporate or personal email address. I do not have any subscription with MS for O365. Update: Please ignore above message. Found solution through Google.
It's OK, mine shows the same. Outlook is at version 2019, don't bother with the profile icon in CP. Cheers.
Is Office 2019 more Feature rich than Office 365?? I read that O365 have different features depending the activation type, or telemetry disabled, in the case that it was KMS activated it will have less features than O2019??
I tried to delete the following keys so I could do a fesh install of Office 365 but regedit says "Error while deleting key" I've tried changing ownership and running regedit as system but it still says error
It's an issue related to add-ins since Office 2010 (google the key) this registry can't be deleted except from offline state Code: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Common\Smart Tag i didn't have issue delete HKEY_CURRENT_USER key
Whoa, Office 2019 brought so many changes in installation process... So the old installation menu for Office 2016, where one simply checked which individual apps to install, is over for good? I already read the full OP in this thread -plus related links-, and got kinda confused of so much info. Could you help me to tell if I did understand well the "general" process to install and activate Office 2019? 1. Download official Office 2019 ISO in preferred language from cdn links; *any* of ProPlus, Visio, Project equal-sized ISOs work, they just have different setup.exe and xml, but any works. 2. Select an installation method: either *any one* of the automated ways such as YAOCTRI or Deploy-N-Install -all work-, or the manual way by using official MS ODT. 3. Since all official ISO downloads are "Retail", one must convert to VL by using the linked tool in order to be able to activate. 4. Finally activate using KMS_VL_ALL. Thanks beforehand.
