[DISCUSSION] Microsoft Office 2024

Yes, you need to do that. If you want to perform a custom installation - Word & Excel only - then you need to install Office Pro Plus 2024 LTSC via ODT (not Retail).
Although there is an option of the Office Retail custom installation as well...

 

Can anyone here please provide an updated xml install for Office 2024, I have this one for Office 2021, which needs to be replaced

Code:

<Configuration>
<Add OfficeClientEdition="64" Channel="PerpetualVL2021">
    <Product ID="ProPlus2021Volume">
      <Language ID="en-US" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="Lync" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="OneDrive" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="OneNote" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="Publisher" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="Teams" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="Visio" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="Groove" />
    </Product>
</Add>
<Display Level="Full" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
<Updates Enabled="TRUE" Channel="PerpetualVL2021" />
</Configuration>

 

change 2021 to 2024

 

Remove publisher ( not avaible for 2024 )

 

Code:

<Configuration>
<Add Channel="PerpetualVL2024">
<Product ID="ProPlus2024Volume"
<Language ID="en-US" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="Access" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="Excel" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="OneNote" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="Outlook" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="PowerPoint" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="Word" />
</Product>
</Add>

<Remove All="TRUE" />
<Property Name="AUTOACTIVATE" Value="1" />
<Updates Enabled="TRUE" />
<Property Name="FORCEAPPSHUTDOWN" Value="TRUE" />
<Display Level="Full" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
</Configuration>

Yes, save to Office.cmd and run, both Excel and Word will be installed without your interaction, about activation, later. when "Configuration.txt" appears, add and don't forget to save and exit it..

 

Hi,.. I didn't quite catch the last part about activation in your comment. Would you mind clarifying this please? Do I need to activate them?

Btw, when I click on the Office.cms I get this message in my browser:
"This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below."

What does this mean?

 

yes of course, but we'll talk about that when you install, you can't activate before

 

Ok I think something is installing now.. I'll let you know

 

How did you save Office.cmd? edit with notepad!

 

Ok so Setup.exe, Configuration.xml, ODT.exe and configuration-Office365-x64 popped up on my desktop. I get a window that says 365 and office are installed.

But I dont see that excel and word are installed

 

open "start" and looking for

obligatory !!!!! Skype is from the previous Office

 

Hey.. I'll have to finish this tomorrow since I'm at work. Will you be on here tomorrow at around 4pm EST?

Btw I'll uninstall the Office 2024 LTSC install from my PC. I'll start a fresh install tomorrow. Let me know what you think

 

you need to uninstall everything related to the previous office, I'll probably be online at that time

 

I am not a fun of MS Office and can"t say which is better, all I can say Office LTSC gets less updates.
Office Retail is easier to install...
