Hello everyone, I’ve encountered a persistent issue while attempting to install Office using the offline ISO "fr‑fr_16.0.17928.20148_ProPlus2024rC2R_retail_ship_combo_fr‑fr_dvd.iso" on a clean Windows 10 Pro setup. Despite being an offline installer, the process freezes on a white screen labeled "Please stay online while Office downloads" after a few minutes. To troubleshoot, I tried the following steps, but without success: Mounted the ISO and launched the installer multiple times. Ran OfficeRTool to scrub existing Office remnants. Restarted the system repeatedly. The only thing that I did is Installed Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Runtimes from @abbodi1406 prior to the Office setup. If anyone has faced this issue and found a solution, I’d appreciate hearing what worked for you!
Use the ISO from here https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/discussion-microsoft-office-2024.87688/
Thanks, The ISO i downloaded is from the @GezoeSloog's cloud.mail.ru repo. I will try the one you suggested.
You could try to disconnect internet before starting installation, see if it fail or give a description for missing files
I ended up installing it using the online installer from OfficeRTool. apparently @GezoeSloog's ISOs are corrupted. Thank you for all the help.
