    Arf, ok thanks ;)

    I use the MSI installer to customize the installation (as we can see on the screen)
    With C2R, it's impossible to customize like this ?

    Or is it possible to install an Office with MSI installer (VL version), but activate with a retail key, I highly doubt but in case :D

    Thanks

    With C2R you can have better customization, use YAOCTRI for installation and YAOCTRU for latest office C2R files download.

    I knew, but I did not find the same options (remove some options in Excel, Word, Office tools, etc ...)
    Has it perhaps changed since ?

    Thanks for your help

    It can't tweak Office Tools section but other than that all is configurable.

    Remove font, language, .net option (I believe), etc... it's possible ?

    Thanks

    Are you talking about options inside office apps? if yes then there is no difference in apps working if they C2R or MSI.
    If no then please elaborate how you can perform those tweaks with MSI installer and can't do with C2R.

    In fact, I remove almost everything with the MSI installer, except Word, Excel

    I will take a screenshot tomorrow of the "options" that I remove

    Thanks

    It is possible to have the latest office C2R files download without going through YAOCTRU (I don't have powershell on the PC that I currently have) ?

    Or Build 16.0.12527.20482 is the last version ?

    Thanks

    Hello

    I'm coming back to this post after a few years :p
    Still not possible to do a custom installation with a 2016 retail version (or 2021 C2R) like the MSI version (excluding all components, see screen just above) ?

    From what I understand, it is only possible with MSI versions and which only exists with VL licenses

    Thanks

    No, the ship of customization / pick and choose had sailed from Microsoft

    Ok thanks
    Really a shame, I'll have to change to a "retail" version then (and no more installation customization with MSI installer) :(
    I'm going to change the SSD, and the next time I install Windows, the MAK key I have for 2016 Standard will no longer work (no longer has activation)
