    Hi,
    Just because you have a 64-bit system doesn't mean you have to install Office 64-bit. Unless you have special needs, it's better to install Office 32-bit.

    If you have x64 system
    It's better to install x64 apps
    It's made for such system specifically

    I tried to download Office setup from Microsoft, and see what edition of Office will be installed. Both of the default setup installed 64-bit version of Office.

    I'm also thinking about this. If users need 32-bit Office, they should understand what they are doing, and choose 32-bit of Office. Most users don't really care about 32-bit compatibility, right?

    In the past, there were some compatibility issues with some plugins when using the 64bit version of Office but now it's all good. There is 0 reason for someone with a 64 bit OS to install the 32 bit version. On a side note, the 64 bit version is better at handling large files (ie. gigantic Acces database file above 4GB). Again, I am not saying to remove it from the options, but please set the 64 bit version as the default.

    Thanks Dolmatov for publishing release note. As Super Spartan said, this version will detected OS information and select the appropriate Office architecture.

    Of course, I have also thought about 32-bit compatibility. I think users should know that they need compatibility and then choose 32-bit Office. If users don't know much about this, it means that they may not need 32-bit compatibility.

    I ask myself and you, who needs to run 200MB+ of unknown code on their PC to install Office?
    When it only takes 3 lines of code to do the same thing.
    Is there a reasonable answer?

    Ease of use, with a nice graphical UI. The tool is safe and pretty straight forward. If you don't feel comfortable using it, then continue to use whatever works for you.

    That is the most important thing

    I tried to look at your Office(R)Tool, but it was deleted by the antivirus already during extraction

    I choose Deploy, Download, "Microsoft 365 Apps for business", and next below "Add languages". Here are most of languages missing...
    .....................
    Checked again now, and the confusion is that languages in the list are now written in native names( ex. Deutsch, not German) not in English...Is this intended?
