is this right that dogfood 16.0.10718.20008 is latest office 2019 build but how to get it? Channel 2 is wrong or not?
Office 2019 is in all setup packages with major build-number greater 10000. So you can use all distribution channels, except the Semi-Annual ones. See latest build list on page1, post #6. Dogfood_DevMain is internal development channel. This one holds the most uptodate builds. But as with most "alpha" software, you may experience some bugs. Dogfood_DevMain can be selected in OfficeRTool by using "m" for "manual override". This will list the "internal use only" channels used by MS. Then choose "1".
I repeat my suggestion for adding two methods of installation and for each to add in the script an instruction to stop the service and the process that I gave and to clear that folder as I wrote. Any method will then be waved
Dual install (OfficeClickToRun.exe / ODT setup.exe) OfficeRTool version is in internal development and testing. Please stay tuned...
Any way to view download progress / eta / etc of an ODT download? I feel like this was already asked...
ClickToRunSvc and Microsoft Windows Search Filter Host they must be stopped first by the script so that the folder can be modified C: \ Program Files \ Common Files \ microsoft shared \ ClickToRun
A new OfficeRTool version (2018/July/24) was released today Function "(I) INSTALL OFFICE SUITES OR SINGLE APPS" -Enhancement- Added selection to use second installation engine "OfficeClickToRun.exe" besides the default OfficeDeploymentTool "setup.exe". Using "OfficeClickToRun.exe" circumvents restriction in ODT "setup.exe" and reenables installation of Office 2019 on Windows 7,8. No other changes were made. Download-links and checksums in OP were updated.
Oh! I see! Thanks for clarifying, I didn't add the attribute because it seemed optional reading the docs, the tool was and is working as expected
the new version has a bug: the script ignores the set language in the .ini file and after changing it does not even ask whether to save the changes
A new OfficeRTool version (2018/July/25) was released today Function "(D) DOWNLOAD OFFICE OFFLINE INSTALL PACKAGE" -Bugfix- Script ignores the set language in the .ini file and does not save selection (reported by Winclub.pl) Script enhancement Speedup all powershell-commands (thanks and credits to WyldWolf for info) No other changes were made. Download-links and checksums in OP were updated.
I've noticed that Outlook doesn't play nice with Windows 7 on even the supposedly stable Current branch. Skype for Business won't even launch. Is Windows 7 being deprecated earlier than expected?
Skype for Business 2019 from Dogfood_DevMain-channel started successfully here in a Windows 7, 32bit test environment. Your Windows 7 has got the latest Windows updates? If you mind official updates because of telemetry: Simplix update pack is sufficient.
The ClickToRun installer method makes the start_setup.cmd not portable, since it makes hard coded reference to the user, who configured the installer. I need to rebuild start_setup.cmd on every computer I am working with. On line 39: dir /B Office\Data\%officeversion%\i64*.* >"C:\Users\myname\AppData\Local\Temp\OfficeSetup.txt" Can it be replaced with the line below? dir /B Office\Data\%officeversion%\i64*.* >"%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp\OfficeSetup.txt" Thanks for making this tool. Makes my day everytime PS. OfficeRTool seems to react badly when it checks activation status of not yet converted Office. It just exits completely.
It actually points to the %temp% folder . Code: C:\WINDOWS\system32>echo %temp% C:\Users\s1ave77\AppData\Local\Temp
I just noticed that after "Monthly Channel" update to 365 Pro Plus (10325 20082) that, (a) 365 application splash screen has disappeared (b) Morph feature in PPT has also gone? Has Microsoft dropped the ball here or perhaps an intentional move in the run up to 2019 finalisation? I have a feeling that the splash screen might have disappeared on previous release (10228.20134) but not 100% sure. Anyone else observed this or care to comment? Thanks
