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

How does OfficeRTool use VLMCSD for activation?

I assume it's running VLMCSD.exe -S (and indeed the file is present in SYSTEM32), but I can't actually see the service installed in services.msc, nor anywhere in the registry...

I'd like to know because I need to preemptively whitelist the file/process in antivirus.

Thanks, and great tool. I commented out the OS detection line, and was still able to download what I needed on this XP machine to burn to a DVD.

 

Will you add the DogFood_DevMain + channel to the tool? Setting up an update channel for it?

 

fix it thanks a lot

 

When I try running the .cmd file in terminal I am met with a bunch of errors saying a command is not found. I was wondering if there is a fix to this?

 

You would add to the script information about the size of the office picked from the branch selected + information how much was downloaded with the information in percentage and size ?

And It has been fixed. Just got new 16.0.9115.2007 with update issue solved. Everything now is back to how it was.

Unimportant theoretical problem.
How do I set up OfficeClickToRun.exe to work with local cdnbaseurl (for example cdnbaseurl = "E: \ upd")? = not working (exit OfficeClickToRun.exe)
but
Install with cdnbaseurl (http) + set registry cdnbaseurl=E: \ ms + check update = working

Spoiler: not working cmd

Code:

"%CommonProgramFiles%\Microsoft Shared\ClickToRun\OfficeClickToRun.exe"^
 cdnbaseurl="E:\upd"^
 baseurl="E:\ms"^
 version=16.0.9001.2171^
 platform=x64^
 productstoadd=ProplusRetail_cs-cz_x-none^
 proplusRetail.excludedapps=access,publisher,groove,lync,onenote,onedrive^
 deliverymechanism=492350f6-3a01-4f97-b9c0-c7c6ddf67d60
pause

(baseurl local working, baseurl url working, cdnbaseurl url working, but cdnbaseurl local not working (= install not working, but update working), why?).

 

Did you check logs to find the error?

cdnbaseurl defines the update source (set by channel)
for local i think it's accepted for Download mode only

besides, it called CDNbaseurl, meaning it only accept cdn url

 

Spoiler: LOG

Code:

Click-To-Run Error axik2 Unexpected UrlSettingValidator::Validate {..., "ContextData": "Invalid Url: \"E:\\upd\""}  
Click-To-Run Non Task Error bjbzl Unexpected Settings::PersistSetting {..., "ErrorCode": 29, "ErrorType": "", "AppVErrorSource": "", "ErrorMessage": "", "ErrorDetails": "", "ContextData": "(\"E:\\upd\") is not valid for Setting Type (3) from Store (Scenario\\INSTALL)"}

Not valid for install scenario.
Why does this work: installation with cdnbaseurl cdn url, set:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\ClickToRun\Configuration
CDNBaseUrl=E:\upd
... and check update. And the update works from E:\upd
But Why is CDNBaseUrl E:\upd not valid during installation?

 

Help me please ...

Tired of looking for Power Point with the effect of "Morph Transition",


Installed, Microsoft Office 2016 Professional Plus 16.0.4639.1000
but there's still no "Morph Transition" effect in Power Point 2016!

See 2 screenshots:
A. There is NO "Morph Transition"
B. There is "Morph Transition"

Tell me, please, a link to:
1) Microsoft Office 2016, so that Power Point 2016 had the effect of "Morph Transition"!
2) And what to activate.

I have Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 RU x64.

P.S.
By the way, is it possible on Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 RU x64
do I install Microsoft Office 2019. Or only 2016 will fit? !!


Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

abbodi -

How is VLMCSD configured to run activation?

Where does it create the process?

 

You mean in OfficeRTool?
by checking the script it seems to be started manually for activation, no service or installation is done

Code:

start /min vlmcsd.exe -P 1688 -A 4300 -R 4300 -C 1033 -De -r1
