    New Version.
    Code:
    -- Remove & Improved Code, fix typos.
    -- Now support Offline Folder / any 16.X ISO.
    -- Add option to download ISO images, aside from Option to download 'Online' Installer.
       [ for someone with broken English, to know 'Aside from' meaning .. totally broken ]

    Anyway for me to use this tool to install Visio alongside an existing Office 365 Personal, my 365 Personal is licensed to me, but I'd like to install Visio. Whichever option I use it just spits out a "No compatible office products detected" error message and never continues.

    I've used option D to download the offline setup package, specifying a path with no spaces, for channel name, I've used 1 for Current (Retail/RTM). Left the Office Build as blank so it just pulls down the latest (16.0.14931.20132 as of this writing), language as en-GB and left architecture as blank so it would pull down the x64 download.

    Once downloaded, I've chosen I to install Office from Offline Install Package, the path set to the place where the download is. Choosing 1 for the only available installation package (en-GB_Office_Current_x64_v16.0.14931.20132), on the next screen, I pick 0 for Single Apps Install, choosing option 2 for 2019, set all options to 0 except for Visio 2019. Hit Enter and boom:

    upload_2022-3-30_18-7-44.png
    And then.
    upload_2022-3-30_18-8-6.png

    Rinse and repeat with option 8 for Visio-Project 2019 Volume instead of 0 for Single Apps Install and the same message appears.

    I am not sure there is EN-GB version for 2019 / 2021.
    but maybe abbodi1406 know more.
    [ For Single Visio / Project Apps ]

    Holy s**t Biscuits it actually worked. I removed the INI file and let it default to en-US and it's installing, I don't believe it.

    One tweak I would suggest for the tool, would be the option to specify a custom KMS server, I have VLMCSD running in a Docker Container on a separate machine with SRV records setup in DNS to point Windows clients to it automatically, having an option to specify a manual address or skip specifying an address and using SRV discovery would be pretty neat.

    Nonetheless, thank you for the help DM.

    I disabled it, because current latest DLL work pretty good
    Can add support in INI file.

    Edit
    Just send you quick fix.

    does this tool auto-refresh activation before 180 days? if not should I use Aact to create a scheduler for auto-activation?

    if I installed Office 2021 LTSC Volume Enterprise, I only use the conversion tool and it activated, when do I need to use the KMS Activation?

    What's the difference between the Office Volume and Retail? I usually install the Retail and just convert to Volume.

    1-once a month, do manual activation
    2- if you not sure you have volume license installed, do convert
    3-only volume license be activated using officeRTool. As long as you have a legal retail key / mak key. No need any convert / activation.

    thanks for answer.
    I need scheduler auto activate because I install it for other people friends and they don't do it.

    so if I install using C2R program and I choose to install 2021 Retail or Volume and I use the Office Tool to disable Telemetry it auto install VLK key and the office is activated. so I don't need to use the KMS?

    [2] Install Activation Auto-Renewal
    i see
    Installing Local KMS Emulator...

    Adding File...
    C:\Windows\System32\SppExtComObjHook.dll

    Adding Scheduled Task...

    ____________________________________________________________


    Activation Mode: Auto Renewal

    Checking: Windows(R), Professional edition
    Product is Permanently Activated.

    Activating: Office 21, Office21ProPlus2021VL_KMS_Client_AE edition
    Product Activation Successful
    Remaining Period: 180 days (259200 minutes)

    Make sure to exclude this file in the Antivirus protection.
    C:\Windows\System32\SppExtComObjHook.dll




    Is there a way to not use the Click2Run.exe service file that keeps running on the process?
    Edit: I see when I use to disable telemetry with office tool it disables Click2run service finally.

    What's the difference between the AAct task scheduler and abbodi1406 \ C:\Windows\System32\SppExtComObjHook.dll activation?

    SppExtComObjHook.dll is the Emulation software, that send fake activation data,
    So Windows think its a legit and you have another 180 days of quiet.
    AAct task maybe calling abbodi1406 script to Renew activation.

    If the latest version is from yesterday, then why does it say on its readme that its version is 2021/June/2022 and not 15/04/2022?
