    OfficeRTool2018Dec02 is not working for me.
    As soon as I execute any command (with or without checking for new releases), the following errors are shown:
    *** ERROR checking: * Monthly_Channel * (and so, for every channel)
    *** No Build / Version number found in file: * VersionDescriptor.xml *
    Mentioned files are corretly created in temp folder, I can open/edit each of them.
    Just tried to use OfficeRTool for a offline retail2VL conversion of a retail proplus img (italian retail img, build 16.0.10730.20102): I'm not trying to install Office.
    Office is not installed on my system, I'm doing the conversion just to create a VL install folder for future use (on Win10): I'm on Windows 7 x64, right now.
    Help if possible, please.
    Kind regards.

    Antivirus interfering here?
    Did you create exclusions for OfficeRTool-folder (and subfolders)?
    Whats the content of file "VersionDescriptor.xml"?
    According to the above error-message, I assume this file is empty.
    If yes, then Antivirus suppressed correct download with "wget.exe".

    Antivirus is disabled, and it's KIS 2019, no need to set exclusions.
    OfficeRTool is set as "trusted app" manually in KIS, so no restrictions are applied.
    UAC disabled, administrator privileges.
    Version descriptor is not empty, as I wrote before: I can open/edit the content of all files involved.
    VersionDescriptor attached here (compressed manually to make it uploadable here), u can edit it if u wish to.
    Thanks man.

    I can't believe that was the issue! :roll1:

    It worked after removing spaces from download destination!


    But I just noticed that my efforts were futile
    since Windows 7 is blocked from receiving updates for Office 2019 :doh:
    Now I have to scrub 2019 Pro Plus version that I rushed to install after fixing the download destination and start over.

    Is your LAN settings set to use proxy auto-config?

    I installed Office 2019 Pro Plus using OfficeRTool
    Restarted
    Converted to volume
    Checked status = 30 days validity
    KMS activated using OfficeRTool
    Checked status - 180 days validity
    Launched and tested all Office products to be working normally.

    Do I really need to remove my install completely and follow one of the suggestions here to receive office updates on Windows 7? :

    Yes, any C2R SKU that contain 2019 is blocked on Win 7/8.1
    and AFAIK, OfficeRTool install Office 2019 products as-is

    YAOCTRIR install Retail Office
    you need C2R-R2V or OfficeRTool to convert to volume

    use YAOCTRI_Configurator.cmd if you want Office volume directly

    Downloaded office uninstaller from Micorsoft, removed and restarted
    Used OfficeScrubber and restarted
    Used OfficeRTool to install Office 365 Pro Plus complete suite on my Windows 7 x64 machine, restarted after installation
    Used C2R-R2V_7 to convert license to Office 2019 by editting Convert-C2R.cmd and set _O365asO2019=1, then running as Admin.
    Used OfficeRTool KMS to activate
    Checked activation status in OfficeRTool and it shows the following:
    Code:
    Office 2019 ProfessionalPlus --- ProductVersion: 16.0.11126.20266
    
    License Family: 0
    
    Activation status: 1  (---LICENSED---)           PartialProductKey: -6MWKP
    
    Remaining KMS activation period: 179 days left - License expires at: 18-Jul-19
    ____________________________________________________________________________
    
    Office 365 ProfessionalPlus --- ProductVersion: 16.0.11126.20266
    
    License Family: 0
    
    Activation status: 9  (---UNKNOWN---)            PartialProductKey: -not set
    ____________________________________________________________________________

    Launched Word and everything is working. Tried checking for updates and it indicated I'm up to date.

    Is the activation status normal? Am I done?
