As all KMS solutions are failing, then there could be something
wrong with your licensensing files. Please read "this post" for
how to recreate the license files and try KMS activation again.

 

A new OfficeRTool version (2018/May/06 - 2nd Ed.) was released today

Function "(I) INSTALL OFFICE SUITES OR SINGLE APPS" - Error Correction -
Corrected bug: Install of Office 2019 ProPlus, Visio 2019 Pro and Project 2019 Pro is rejected
when Manual Override (MS Internal Use Only) distribution channel setup package was selected.
(reported by user Simple07)

OfficeRTool Startup
Dogfood_DevMain - distribution channel was added to "new version check"

Function CHANGE OFFICE UPDATE-PATH (SWITCH DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL
Dogfood_DevMain - distribution channel was added to "change-menu"

Hint: Upgrade from "standard" distribution channels to Dogfood_DevMain channel is
possible. Downgrade from Dogfood_DevMain to any of the standard channels requires
complete removal of Dogfood-Office with FixIt-Tool.


No other changes were made.

Download-links and checksums in OP were updated.

 

Expected, but unexpected.

Непредвиденное появление: set" goto:_DownloadO16Offline. _ - no smile line

This is what I got:

Code:

Set Channel (enter Channel-ID or Index-#) >D85263CB-A813-4A8F-9895-E2EC9CA47293


*** ERROR checking: * Manual_Override *
*** Detected unknown Build / Version number: * 15.0.4128.1025 *

Check file "C:\TEMP\Manual_Override_VersionDescriptor.xml"
Check file "C:\TEMP\Manual_Override_found_office_build.txt"

Set Office Build - or press return for 15.0.4128.1025 >

That's a Office 2013 distribution channel. OfficeRTool officially supports Office 2016 / 2019 only.
So, yes, it's (un)expected. Maybe I should make a better check and show a error-message.

 

I about " sign, 2013 for example, because CDN don't work for this tools (don't support).

 

Someone knows where Office stores its ProductPolicy that are found in *.xrm-ms??

 

Are Visio and Project suppose to report 2019 when they start, or is it known from the version number?

A new OfficeRTool version (2018/May/06 - 3rd Ed.) was released today

Function "(D) DOWNLOAD OFFICE OFFLINE INSTALL PACKAGE - Error Correction -
Corrected bug: Install of Visio 2019 Pro and Project 2019 Pro is not shown when Manual
Override (MS Internal Use Only) distribution channel setup package was selected.
Instead Office 2016 versions are installed.
(reported by user Simple07)

Corrected unexpected behaviour: If non Office 2016 / 2019 distribution channel was selected
OfficeRTool continues to download unsupported Office (ie 2013). Now OfficeRTool aborts
download and returns to main menu.
(reported by user Dolmatov)

(A) SHOW CURRENT ACTIVATION STATUS
Corrected bug: Function aborts and OfficeRTool closes in some configurations when selected.

(U) CHANGE OFFICE UPDATE-PATH (SWITCH DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL)
Corrected bug: Function aborts and OfficeRTool closes in some configurations when selected.


No other changes were made. And this should be the last version for today (hopefully).

Download-links and checksums in OP were updated.

 

Visio 2019 and Project 2019 are not fully branded.
So no "2019" is shown in the small startup-window (like it is when for ex. Word starts).
But I found a logical bug in OfficeRTool's download-function while I was checking.

 

I found one more error.
Well, you can not set as the download path of a bare partition, e.g. D: \
There must be some existing folder specified because otherwise an error will pop up that the path is not found or is invalid

 

Surprisingly, without reporting a mistake to find out about her finding me.
I just noticed the accidental closing of the window due to the peculiarities of cmd commands.
! It's not a mistake =)

 

That works as designed. You cannot start a ODT "setup.exe" install from root of a drive.
A subdir is always needed. Therefore OfficeRTool checks if download path is root \
and complains. But you can specify a new folder and it will be created. No need to use
a existing directory.

 

Can I make it possible to download all available languages with automatic skip missing stream-file, like for CDN in the screenshot above?

 

And that's what I get:

Code:

Set Channel-Index-# (1,2,3,4,5,M) or X >m

"Microsoft Internal Use Only" Beta/Testing distribution channels
Internal Naming           Channel-ID:                               Index-#

Seems, it looks correct.

 

" " " " " " " " " " " " " " " - you see?)

 

Quotation at the end.

 

This requires some effort to modify OfficeRTool to become such smart.
At the moment I would say this won't happen soon...

 

In my output above, all looks good.
What problems do you exactly have?

hhmm.. Repairing/catching every user error during input is hardly impossible.

 

Eh.
