I'll put it on my "maybe a good feature" list. Be more specific. 32bit/x86 Office on 64bit/x64 Windows normally is working. So why suppressing it?
I've read somewhere around here that x86 Office 2019 C2R may not be working on some configs, but I just tried it nevertheless (x86 Office 2019 on Windows 8.1 x64) to save some flash space and use less memory. The setup stopped cold, and I had to run FixIt to get rid of the partial installation as the regular setup neither did a rollback nor appeared in the list of installed programs. At least a reminder "Are you sure you want to try this?" might be helpful for unsuspecting users. Older msi versions work just fine of course, I used to run 2013-2016 x86 on x64 Windows.
ClickToRunSvc (i*.cab) architecture is OS-dependant ODT should handle it correctly but the OfficeClickToRun method start_setup.cmd needs a little enhancement Code: if /i "%instarch1%" equ "x86" set "instarch2=32" if /i "%instarch1%" equ "x64" set "instarch2=64" if /i "%instarch1%" equ "x86" if exist "%systemroot%\SysWOW64\cmd.exe" set "instarch2=64" if /i "%instarch1%" equ "x64" if not exist "%systemroot%\SysWOW64\cmd.exe" (echo.&echo ERROR: You can't install x64/64bit Office on x86/32bit Windows&echo.&pause&exit)
Hi, this is a wonderful tool. Thank you for that, but I have some little questions. 1. What is the difference during install to choose Click2Run or ODT installer? Is there any difference after install? Because after choosing ODT, it is of course an Click2Run install 2. It's great to see, that this tool can install Office 365 for latest features. After converting to VL, it's obviously a Office 2016 license (why not 2019?) -> Will be the additional office 365 features be cut, because it's an 2016 license? Or is is still fully 365? 2.1 -> If not, is it recommended to choose 2019 install instead when use VL license? 3. Is this install of point 2 updatable in the office suite? 4. Is there a list what exactly point [T] for telemetry disables on the PC? Thank you very much!
Is there a way to convert the VL install to accept a Retail key and activate? (Basically the opposite way this tool seems to work.) I have Office 2016 installed from a VL MSI install media. I'd like to convert it from the KMS VL activation to a Retail activation using the key I bought. Thanks.
thanks for the great job you dit...if I did all the things right, will I get all the updates of ms office 2019 from the windows update system? if not how i can have all the updates?
Office Click2Run gets it's updates from it's own internal upate service, not from Windows update. Start any C2R Office App --> Menu --> File --> Account --> Update Options, then klick --> "Update Now". This will trigger/start update.
ODT setup.exe is the frontend for ClickToRun.exe. It reads configuration.xml file, does some basic checks, performs restrictions and calls OfficeClickToRun with the appropriate parameters. So functionally they are equal. Office 2019 is only a subset of Office 365, so Office 365 (activated locally by a Office 2016 Pro license) will still be Office 365. But there is a risk, that some functions need a online sign-in/verfication to be fully functional. No, because Office 2019 has a minor features subset. Sure. Use internal update service. Menu -> File -> Account -> Update Options -> Update Now. I have taken all info from here -> https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/how-do-i-manually-disable-telemetry-for-office-2016.68842/.
Thank you for clarification. I am still impressed! For testing, I switched to Insider Fast update channel to check if there is the minimalistic new Outlook design, which is not part of 2019 and yes, it's there! Thank you so much.
I think there is a bug in OfficeRTool. I was generating a config file for Office 2019 and selected to not include OneDrive but it was not in the config file.
Actually, thats old OneDrive for business the new one ID is simply OneDrive both should be excluded https://forums.mydigitallife.net/posts/1413133/
Much appreciated, I guess I'll have to add Onedrive to a <Product ID="ProofingTools"> even if it's already under the main Office19ProPlus2019 ID. Edit: it works perfectly.
Office 365 don't have volume licenses, thus the nearest licenses is used although i suggest for OfficeRTool to use Mondo licenses yes, OfficeRTool download latest version from the selected channel
I used OfficeRTool since KMS_VL_ALL-SppExtComObjPatcher-kms-26 doesn't even detect Office 365 and it installs a Microsoft Office 2016 Professional Plus license (not Microsoft Office Mondo 2016, whatever that is, so does that mean it "transforms" Office 365 Professional Plus in Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2016?) when I choose the "CONVERT OFFICE RETAIL TO VOLUME" setting and not the "START KMS ACTIVATION" one so why does it activate it? But when I install Office 365 (before activating it), in Word's account section under Profile Information, Office and its logo Office 365 appear and Microsoft Office 2016 Professional Plus doesn't. How can it download a more recent build than the one that appeared in that page? So, should I wait for Office 365 to install a more recent build or should I manually download and install a more recent one using this tool and if so, how many times per week is it recommended to use it to search for new builds?
