[HOW-TO/SUPPORT/CHAT] OFFICE C2R Download/Install/Activation

To avoid confusion. ->There exist only 5 public distribution channels named:
Monthly Channel (Retail/RTM), Insider Channel (Insider FAST), Monthly Channel Targeted
(Insider SLOW), Semi Annual Channel (Business Use), Semi Annual Channel Targeted
(Business Insider).

"devmain-channel" is non standard channel naming (mostly some Microsoft Internal Use
Only channel).

OfficeRTool will download and install Office 2019 from standard "Insider (FAST) channel".

 

But it also has a manual option where you can use internal ones. Previously, it took every version, now none.
By default, there is no option to download Office 2019

 

Using manual override for distribution channel to use "unknown" or
"MS internal use only channels" works as usual. but there is a check
for Office 2019 that source channel is Insider (FAST).

Code:

line 962:        if "%installtrigger%" EQU "5" if "%o16channel%" EQU "InsiderFast" ((set "of19install=1")&&(goto:InstallExclusions))

If you would like to use a non-standard channel, you could edit line 962 in OfficeRTool.cmd
and remove channel check (if "%o16channel%" EQU "InsiderFast"). It must look like this:

Code:

line 962:        if "%installtrigger%" EQU "5" ((set "of19install=1")&&(goto:InstallExclusions))

Then you are able to install Office 2019 even from non standard channels. Provided, that this
SKU is present in downloaded setup package. But I still prefer to use OfficeRTool unmodified
as is und take standard distribution channels for install to avoid any unwanted side-effects.

 

You are probably right. The ISO variant failed to install too, by the way. The installation worked after a reinstall of Windows.

Thank you for the great toolkit.

Spoiler

- Convert Office 2016/2013 ClickToRun installation licensing from Retail to Volume

- All current Office licenses will be cleaned up (to get rid of Trial/Grace stuff). then, proper Volume licenses will be installed based on detected office Products IDs

- "MondoRetail" SKU include all products, if detected, only its licenses will be installed

- If main SKUs are detected, separate sub-apps licenses will not be installed to avoid duplication

Main SKUs: ProPlus, O365ProPlus, Professional, Standard, Visio, Project
Sub-SKUs : Access, Excel, Onenote, Outlook, Powerpoint, Publisher, SkypeForBusiness, Word

ProPlus, O365ProPlus cover all sub-apps
Professional cover all sub-apps except SkypeForBusiness
Standard cover all sub-apps except Access, SkypeForBusiness

- O365ProPlus and Professional SKUs have no official VL licenses, so ProPlus ones will be used in that case

- Note: This is not an activator, just a licensing converter

to all who have problems installing/activating Office:

Please look in post #4 and post #5 on first page of this thread for info/help.

Specials:
Activation problems on newest Windows Insider versions are not caused
by OfficeRTool, but by W10 Insider license files. After recreating files
tokens.dat / cache.dat (see post #5 - section KMS activation) activation
works. Windows Retail version is working without problems, so it's a
W10 Insider problem.

And don't rely on Uninstall from Control Panel - Programs and Features!
Always use Office FixIt-Tool (see post #4) to remove older/other Office
before installing a new Office version. Be sure to follow recommended
steps word by word! This is important, especially these 2 reboots are
needed! This avoids problems when you install from other, non-standard
distribution channels.

Goal: Create a stable basement/ground before building the house.

 

You can only download versions that are located/stored on MS-Content Delivery Server. But
not every interim version will be stored on CDN-server for download.

16.0.9112.2004 is no valid version/not available for DevMain-channel. You must use a valid
version which is available on a particular channel.

Automatically detected on DevMain channel(55C44C35-878E-4C43-83EE-B666BF4261A4):
16.0.8209.3000. This one can successfully be downloaded by OfficeRTool. I suggest, you
should always rely on OfficeRTool to detect the latest version and then download and use
this build.
