I can't figure out which version to download. I just want the latest current branch. No 7369 is available, and 7369.2017 is only listed, see pic. ms-vnext.net hasn't been updated since your last post so I guess 7369.2024 should be there? Edit: Or 7369.2038? Sorry for my noob question! Haven't looked into Office 2016 until now.
There is a huge size difference between Current 16.0.7369.2038 and previous releases, even Insider_16.0.7512.1000 is much smaller!!
I am still sure, that something went deeply wrong with this 16.0.7369.xxxx Current / Retail RTM releases. Simple example regarding the size growing up from 16.0.7369.2025 -> 16.0.7369.2038: stream.x64.x-none.dat = 1.963.012 KB ~ 500 MB bigger than previous version stream.x86.x-none.dat = 1.498.363 KB ~ 330 MB bigger than previous version But even much bigger than latest FAST Insider 16.0.7512.1000 which lists as: stream.x64.x-none.dat = 1.193.314 KB stream.x86.x-none.dat = 1.004.076 KB There is no reason for Current / Retail RTM version to be that big. Compared to all other channel releases there were no extra special features added. The only thing that could explain this growth: MS Developers forgot to remove/disable debugging code. But this is wild guessing. I don't have any proof. Let's wait for the next Current Retail release. I will stay with Insider FAST 16.0.7512.1000 at the moment.
Hi, Few days back I downloaded office 2016 C2R 16.0.7369.2024_en-US_x86_x64_Current using O2016RTool. I saw a new version has came. I want to know is it possible to update the offline installer which was downloaded using O2016RTool without downloading the whole setup for new version. Thanks
Sorry, only loading individual files and preserving the rest is not possible. To get a complete setup package, you must always download all files of the new version.
Anyone experiencing problems running the latest version of O2016RTool? After launching O2016RTool, Windows 10 asks me for permission for the app to make changes. After granting permission, a blue windows is launched. However, it closes almost instantly. Unable to even reach the main menu. Running an older version, like the October 2015 version, works though. Not sure what is the problem? Could it be a Windows 10 issue?
I think the problem was because I ran the file from a sub-sub folder and also renamed the O2016RTool folder differently (e.g. Drive:\abc\O2016RTool(Oct)\O2016Rtool.cmd) Once I extracted the files to the root folder without any folder renaming, it works when i follow your example (e.g. Drive:\O2016RTool\O2016RTool.cmd Thanks for the explanation
I just tested and found that the brackets () [and umlauts äöüß, maybe other special characters, too] are the reason. But { [ and ] } are ok and can be used. At the moment I don't have a workaround for this. @all: till further notice don't use () and/or umlauts in foldernames.
This entry in registry is set by using CHANGE OFFICE UPDATE-PATH (SWITCH DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL). @Simple07: O2016RTool's Retail2VL-conversion only installs the needed license files, the product key and adjusted branding if Office 365 ProPlus was installed. At the moment it doesn't default to any "branch" because it relys on the assumption, that Office setup.exe will handle all the needed configuration parameters. Now it seems, setup.exe needs some help. Was a "Current Retail/RTM" Office version installed on this system, before you tried "Insider Fast" and you didn't remove it completely with FixTool? This would explain the "downgrade" because the modification "UpdateBranch"="Current" is part or responsibilty of Group Policy Editor and therefore the registry entry is not changed by Office setup. Thats the culprit by "manually" modifying configuration. I will change O2016RTool to always set/correct this entry during install- or Retail2VL-conversion- step and overwrite a (maybe) existing one from a prior installed version.
I was actually investigating a freeze/lockup in VMware Workstation 12.5.1. So, the Windows 14955 is a fresh clean installation as well as the office 2016 Pro Plus, only MS Paint 3D is installed. I used Ratiborus's tool to save time, as it downloads (x86 or x64) only, but I used O2016RTool to convert from Retail to Volume and I used a remote KMS to activate so that I can perform an update and I was expecting to receive a message that all is up to date. Now I am aware that I downloaded the latest release, but I noticed 16.0.7369.2038 tries to update One Drive immediately after installation..
I downloaded and created the ISO, then I installed manually having mounted the ISO. I am aware of changing the channel through both the Registry and the Group Policy settings, I am posting this as it may help someone.
