    Is there a difference feature-wise between installing Mondo right away or installing Microsoft 365 and then afterwards convert the license to Mondo and activate it with OfficeRTool?

    I will go on the latest LTSC + new mica (visual UI)
    most people don't need 365 / Mondo

    I run into an interesting issue here, not sure if it is by design, but I can't seem to install OneNote 2021 as a standalone app.
    Here is the step to reproduce the issue

    [N] INSTALL OFFICE FROM ONLINE INSTALL PACKAGE

    I chose channel 8
    PerpetualVL2021 - (Production:LTSC2021) (8)

    I then chose 0 for single apples no full suite
    0.) Single Apps Install (no full suite)
    Which "version" for Single App to install (1=2016, 2=2019, 3=2021) >3
    Press Enter To Skip / Press I to Install
    ########################################

    Set Word 2021 Single App Install >i
    Set Excel 2021 Single App Install >i
    Set Powerpoint 2021 Single App Install >
    Set Access 2021 Single App Install >
    Set Outlook 2021 Single App Install >
    Set Publisher 2021 Single App Install >i
    Set Skype For Business 2021 Single App Install >
    Set Visio 2021 Install >i
    Set Project 2021 Single App Install >i


    As you can see, where is OneNote 2021? I checked Wikipedia, and it does suggest that there is OneNote for Office 2021, so I am puzzled.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    In order to do KMS activation, the VL version is the one we should download?

    And does it matter package or image?
    Ah, I'll just go with the package, why not.

    Will you release that fix in the stable version?

    Also, I can't choose an update channel (and because of that I can't change to the other channel like I could when installing Microsoft 365 and converting its license to Microsoft Office Mondo 2016 with OfficeRTool) in the Account tab (I chose the Beta one when running OfficeRTool) after running Microsoft Word (for instance) after directly installing Microsoft Office Mondo 2016 (so, instead of installing Microsoft 365 and convert its license to Office Mondo 2016 like before) because nothing appears regarding channels. Is it normal? Is it possible I'm not enrolled to an update channel even though I chose the Beta one on OfficeRTool?

    EDIT: When searching for new OfficeRTool releases, OfficeRTool says it can't update. Is it because my OfficeRTool folder is inside of some folders (in an external HDD)? I have to move the OfficeRTool folder to another location (like my Documents folder), update it and move it back to the folder to get the latest OfficeRTool release.

    Will this Visio and Project problem in Mondo be gone in the next stable release too?

    Why can't I choose a office channel after installing Mondo? I could in Microsoft 365.

    In my case I have to move the folder to be able to update, at least apparently.

    1- only after multiple changes/bug fix - I will change the release, the current release work just fine.
    2- what do you mean you can't?
    3- you caused the problem, you solved it :clap3:

    1) No, it doesn't. That's why I complained about the problem, don't you think?

    2) In the Account tab, the update channel setting doesn't appear, so I can't change between the Current Channel (Preview) and the Beta Channel. In Microsoft 365 (even with its license converted to Microsoft Office Mondo 2016 afterwards with OfficeRTool), it appeared.

    3) Since when did I cause the problem? I didn't build this tool.

    1- works just fine, tested it now
    2- install LTSC instead of mondo, you looking for troubles
    3- you make the problem by running the script from weird paths that may / may not cause the self-update to fail

    1) Only the beta version works.

    2) Why? Could you tell me the differences between LTSC, Mondo and 365? What's the difference between installing 365 and using OfficeRTool to activate it to have a Mondo license and directly installing Mondo?

    3) Self-update? I have to manually update it.
